What You'll Learn
By the end of this training, you will be able to:
- Perform the basic EFT tapping protocol with clinical accuracy, including tapping points, set-up statement, and therapeutic stance.
- Apply EFT within a phase-oriented trauma framework, using it for Phase 1 nervous system regulation and Phase 2 trauma reprocessing based on each client's level of stability.
- Use the tearless trauma technique and tell the story technique to approach traumatic memories in a titrated, client-paced way that stays within the window of tolerance.
- Describe the steps of the personal peace procedure and integrate it into treatment planning for clients with multiple trauma targets or complex histories.
- Distinguish EFT from simple tapping scripts by understanding how it integrates principles from ACT, Ericksonian hypnosis, exposure, somatic regulation, and memory reconsolidation.
- Summarize the research supporting EFT's effectiveness for anxiety, depression, and trauma, including findings from fMRI studies and meta-analyses.
