Healing Emotional Trauma Through Emotional Freedom Technique:
A Beginner's Workshop
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and its predecessor, thought Field Therapy (TFT) are energy psychological techniques to reduce emotional trauma. "EFT is a powerful self-help method based on the discovery that emotional trauma contributes greatly to disease. Scientific studies have shown that EFT is able to rapidly reduce the emotional impact of memories and incidents that trigger emotional distress. Once the distress is reduced or removed, the body can often rebalance itself, and accelerate healing." ~ G. Craig. This workshop will offer basic information to begin utilizing EFT and TFT with clients.
