Workshop Description

Now, more than ever, skill development programs that help with anxiety, impulsivity, and focus are essential tools to create lasting positive change desperately needed.

In this practical and hands-on program, you learn self-regulation Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), or Tapping, neuroscience, and evidence-based self-regulating stress, anxiety, and trauma relief method. It’s called Tapping because you Tap with your own fingertips on Acupuncture Meridian Points on your face and body. Clinical trials have shown that EFT lowers the stress response and reduces the emotional impact of past traumatic memories while positively influencing gene expression.

In this introduction skill development workshop, you will discover why you need a mind-body approach like Tapping in your toolkit and how it will help you and your clients self-regulate and lower anxiety and trauma triggers. You will briefly learn the neuroscience that supports EFT’s effectiveness with information from leading trauma experts like Drs. Bessel van der Kolk, Peter Levine, and Stephen Porges (Poly Vagul Theory).

Additionally, you will discover how the stress response affects critical thinking and executive functioning. You will learn Functional Tapping, an abbreviated form of EFT stress relief and grounding, and how to comfortably introduce it to your clients and use it during therapy sessions.

Participants will leave with the ability to Tap for stress relief, grounding, and the ability to teach others to do the same.
