Course Description

What if you could give clients immobilized by trauma or overwhelming affect fast relief, without having to worry about retraumatizing them by rehashing what happened to them? Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) are some of the preeminent bottom-up energy psychology approaches for rapidly calming the body and restoring balance after trauma-induced stress and anxiety. These techniques are easy to learn, backed by over 200 research studies, and have been used to treat everything from test anxiety to PTSD in veterans to survivors of genocide in Rwanda. Plus, they can be used with virtually any clinical population. In this workshop, we’ll explore how and why EFT works, as well as its many applications. We’ll also cover the two phases of EFT: first, using it to aid in emotional regulation, and then using it to treat traumatic memories. You’ll learn:

The basic tapping protocol of EFT with clients
How to use EFT to reduce negative affect and process painful or traumatic events
How to integrate EFT’s different techniques into phases 1, 2, and 3 of trauma treatment
Delineate the research supporting EFT’s effectiveness for treating anxiety, depression and trauma
How EFT is much more than “tapping”. It stacks aspects of multiple approaches from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to Ericksonian Hypnosis
