A New EFT Training Program
I completed my own EFT training certification in March of 2015, I was certified as an advanced practitioner of EFT (ACAP-EFT). That was the result of about two years of training that included in-person workshops, telephone consultations and the submission of several videos for evaluation by the trainers. The ACEP EFT training, at that time, was called Gold Standard EFT to reflect the reclaiming of EFT from, simply, a self-help tool to a powerful clinical tool. I felt somewhat confident in my use of EFT but had some difficulty incorporating it into my clinical practice. The latest incarnation of EFT certification offered by ACEP is geared toward mental health professionals and focuses on how to incorporate EFT into a therapist’s toolbox.
A Virtual/InteractiveTraining
Several groups of trainees have completed the Professional Skills 1 training with the first PS2 training scheduled to begin November 2018. I am one of four facilitators of the training who conduct 4-5 virtual workgroups where we answer questions, supervise practice sessions and offer guidance to the trainees who view on-line modules. PS1 trainees learn two of the Emotional Freedom Techniques as well as background information regarding trauma treatment. PS2 will offer additional techniques as well as refinement of those presented in PS 1.
Having experienced the training as a facilitator and getting feedback from the trainees, I can say that this is a stellar training. Several trainees have commented on the amount of information presented and the quality of skills taught for the low cost of the training. Mental health professionals will also receive continuing education credits for the course.
If you’re a mental health professional and would like more information about incorporating this state-of-the-art therapy into your practice, contact me for more information. Emotional Freedom Techniques is rapidly moving into the main stream, backed by research consisting of multiple randomized controlled studies as well as meta-analyses that are demonstrating the efficacy of EFT in treating trauma, anxiety and depression.
The first training sold out in nine days. There are a few spots left in the November training. Get all the details here.
