Trainings:

Our Trauma and Abuse training program is primarily focused on working with trauma and abuse, into which EFT is woven. EFT can be an amazingly focused and compassionate tool for working with all types and levels of trauma and abuse.

   This training program is organized in a graduated format so you can learn the important issues behind trauma and abuse while learning how to apply EFT effectively and compassionately. We weave client concerns and vulnerabilities with a gradually increasing skill level in EFT and related interventions so that participants can grow in their own self confidence and understanding of this complex issue. Self care for practitioners is a major concern at all levels of training and we offer on-going support and consults for those who are working with clients in this area.

Structure of the Training Program

    Part 1 consists of three levels of introductory work with EFT, trauma and abuse.

    Levels 1 and 2 are a combination of instructional material with both demo and group practice sessions so the foundation is built for these skills to become second nature in ones practice. Basic principles of the structure of trauma and safety in working with trauma are introduced.

    Level 3 focuses on practicum work with additional skills introduced to build on and solidify the fundamentals of Levels 1 and 2. This training focuses on group and individual practice to fine-tune and enhance skills. A deeper understanding of how trauma and abuse affect lives and distort perception is brought about through case discussion and demonstration and practice of the interweaving of techniques.

Part 2  Advanced Training.

    Offers in-depth specialty training in trauma and abuse, including advanced issues in abuse with concurrent issues such as addictions, grief, and anger.  Part 2 focuses on specifics of ritual abuse, satanic ritual abuse, mind control, war trauma, natural disaster and accident trauma, and more.

Advanced Levels 1 and 2 are prerequisites for Advanced Levels 3, 4 and 5, but Levels 3, 4 and 5 can be taken in any preference or order.

Advanced Levels 1 and 2

     These two levels go deeply into detecting and addressing intense emotional states such as types of dissociation, abreaction and cognitive looping. Videos of real sessions with trauma clients are used to see and understand these states in a safe context. Group dialog and guidance help gain confidence in how these states develop and how to bring clients out of them with maximum healing benefit. Honing of skills and facility in dancing with the changing states and layers of trauma are invaluable points in these trainings. Special focus is on practitioners’ ability to stay open and safe in the face of these extreme states, how to stay connected with clients while buffered from the effects of their experiences. Practitioner self-care is a primary consideration in this training. We can’t help them if we’re falling apart.

Advanced Level 3

    This level offers deeper level work with sexual abuse, ritual abuse, satanic ritual abuse, torture, and mind control. Advanced Training Levels 1 and 2 are prerequisite. Specific types of abuse, abuse organizational groups, methods abuse and of silencing victims, self-blame, embedded self-destructive patterns, and the issues faced when clients recognize the extent of the abuse are explored. Methods of support, ways to stay present, practitioner self-monitoring and self-care, and helping clients find and develop their own resources are focused upon using EFT and the practitioner’s own presence. The goal is to offer tools to the practitioner and client to open the doorway to deep resolution of the effects of this type of abuse and the discovery of what can open beyond abuse.

Advanced Level 4

   This focuses on war trauma, combat issues, reintegration issues, family issues including secondary trauma to children and spouses. This training is for practitioners who work with military personnel and their families and includes intense combat trauma and its residual effects, disenfranchisement from their former cultural connections, anger at treatment by the military, and non-combat trauma including rape and civilian abuse.

Advanced Level 5

   Level 5 deals with natural disaster and accident trauma. Focus is on shock, injury, aftermath of events, how people were or were not supported following an event, injury to sense of self and loss of a sense of safety in the world. This training is applicable to those who travel to disaster sites, first responders, and those who work clinically with the after-effects of event trauma.

The above is only a partial list of everything that can and will be covered in a Healthcare Provider Intensive Workshop. While we teach a strong foundation in both basic and more advanced EFT approaches, it is our hope that all our experiential workshops inspire participants to further deepen their knowledge of EFT. Additionally, clients who do their EFT "homework" tend to have the most profound results - and the same holds true for practitioners. The more you experience EFT for yourself and do your own work, the more you'll resonate with how powerful EFT truly is - and the more effective a coach you will be.

Experiential EFT Workshops: We plan to offer a whole portfolio of workshops for the general population as well as EFT professionals. While we are beginning our flagship projects with a select group of professionals, as we grow we will soon require additional qualified professionals. Please sign up for the Newsletter to learn about what we are doing and the latest training opportunities.

EFT in action:

In the above clip (part of his 'Basic EFT Course' called 6 Days at the VA), Gary Craig works with Robert (a Vietnam Veteran) on his PTSD issues. If you listen closely you can hear how Robert goes from having an emotional response to a traumatic memory to what he calls a 'rational' response.
