EFT TAPPING FOR PROFESSIONALS

May 18, 2024

"EFT is a mind-body-spirit self-care approach which involves tapping on acupuncture points while repeating emotionally-charged statements that relate to specific health issues, often referred to as acupressure for the emotions. It is an evidence-based method that has been shown in several dozen randomized controlled trials to be effective for a variety of conditions including anxiety, weight loss and food cravings, depression, PTSD, phobias, pain, and other physical symptoms. As a form of energy psychology, EFT addresses the root energetic imbalances that result from trauma and other emotional stressors. This one-day workshop will explore EFT as an evidence-based technique for practitioners to utilize in addressing the physical symptoms of grief, food cravings, physical illnesses, chronic pain and autoimmune diseases. This workshop includes an extensive experiential component featuring group tapping exercises and individual tapping demonstrations to allow health practitioners the dedicated space to practice EFT in use with their patients/clients. EFT will be combined with breathwork, imagery, and movement.
