Tapping into Health: Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) for Self-Healing

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 workshop will be an intensive four-week experiential program featuring group tapping exercises and individual tapping demonstrations for a variety of topics. EFT will be combined with breathwork, imagery, movement, and dreamwork.  Each week will focus on a different theme.

• Session 1: Introduction to EFT focusing on grief related to the loss of loved ones, pets, jobs, and    relationships, and associated physical symptoms such as sinusitis, postnasal drip and lung disease.
• Session 2: EFT for weight loss addressing food cravings, emotional origins of weight gain, and barriers to achieving weight loss goals with principles applicable to other forms of addiction.
• Session 3:  EFT for symbolic physical illnesses including autoimmune and pain-related conditions such as MS, ALS, interstitial cystitis, chronic urticaria and frozen shoulder using somatic metaphors for healing.
• Session 4:  EFT and dreamwork to explore hidden shadow issues that underlie the emotional blocks to the flow of energy at the root of many mysterious and puzzling chronic illnesses.
