RECAP OF EFT LEVEL 1 COURSE INFORMATION

It’s the 21st century…

Do you have at least one mind-body approach in your toolkit?

  • All the latest neuroscience findings and trauma-informed therapy point to the importance of including non-verbal, body-oriented, “bottom-up” systems to effectively treat most emotional problems.
  • The vast majority of psychological and emotional problems are created or exacerbated by stressful and traumatic events.
  • More and more clients are looking for holistic approaches
  • Relying only on talk therapy is like playing a piano with one hand tied behind your back

Is EFT a good fit for you?

  • Do you wish that you had tools that allowed you to do more than just listen and talk with your clients?
  • Do you wish you had an evidenced-based, mind-body approach that can rapidly treat traumatic memories and experiences with results that last?
  • If a client is about to tell you a horrible event that causes them tremendous emotional pain, are you absolutely confident that you can stay totally present with them AND help them resolve that event so that they feel whole and without pain?
  • Do you wish you had a skill set that allowed you to work effectively with performance issues?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then read on!

What Makes This Training Special?

This course:

  • Includes live, virtual small group meetings with trained EFT expert facilitators. You will actually be doing video online practice sessions with another student. You can even ask for help from your highly trained EFT facilitator in real time. (Yes, we have solved that drawback to online training.)
  • Is tailored for mental health professionals, physicians, nurses and other licensed allied health professionals. (A course for coaches will be available soon.)
  • Is designed so that you will go deeper and faster than many other courses.
  • By the end of Level 1, you will have the basic tools you need to use EFT with many of your clients’ problems.

You will:

  • Learn EFT from an integrative framework that spans many areas, from cognitive-based therapy to interpersonal neurobiology to Qigong
  • Discover how to incorporate EFT with the needs of clinical practice such as treatment planning
  • Learn techniques that are usually taught in more advanced EFT courses
  • Understand how to use EFT from both a palliative care/symptom management approach as well as a trauma informed framework. And you will learn when to use each approach.
  • Learn from trainers who are licensed mental health clinicians with over 50 years of combined experience AND who are experts in energy psychology, trauma, addiction, Qigong and more.
  • Be able to get CME/CNE (physicians and nurses) or CE (psychologists, social workers, counselors, addiction counselors)

How Do I Sign Up?

2) Sign up for your specific small group day and time. There will be multiple options available. You will be signing up for 4, 1-hour sessions at the same day and time. The earlier you sign up, the more selection you have for the times and days of your small group practice sessions.

After you have signed up, you will get an Email with a link and a password to sign up for the small group sessions. Do this immediately to make sure you get the time you want. (We up date the availability every weekday around 5:00pm eastern. If you sign up late at night or over the weekend, the availability of that hour may be gone. If for some reason you are closed out of the hours available to you, you can always get your money back or you can go to the next course. )

3) Once the class opens, start watching or listening to the material online. You can do this whenever you want. You can stream video and audio or download the audio and written material. Assignments are given throughout the course.

4) Move at a pace so that you will have covered the material necessary before each of the four live sessions. Each session builds upon the previous sessions and course material. (Just like it would in a live workshop.)
