What do you do with anxiety and trauma clients who do not improve? The anxiety spectrum exemplifies the disorders where emotions override thought. Fragmented... more
memories get stored in the body. The Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) collapse this
uncomfortable emotional and physical reactivity, therefore freeing a path for spontaneous insights
and clearer thinking.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a comprehensive mind-body treatment that desensitizes three
areas: unwanted thoughts, emotions and physical reactions. EFT combines physical interventions
derived from restorative (self-applied) acupressure theory with cognitive interventions.
EFT is an evidence-based practice with over 100 published studies. One published study demonstrated
a 24% decrease in cortisol (stress hormone) level in the EFT group (Energypsych.org). EFT is an
effective brief therapy and belongs in every therapist’s tool box.
Transform your clinical excellence; bring EFT into your practice and treat resistant problems
that other methods failed.
This seminar focuses on cutting-edge techniques of EFT to treat the anxiety spectrum disorders including:

Phobias
Generalized Anxiety
Social Anxiety Disorder
Panic
OCD
Acute Traumatic Stress Reactions
These mind-body methods are emerging into mainstream mental health, trauma treatment, coaching,
employee assistance programs and sport psychology arenas as rapid, effective, non-invasive, calming,
desensitizing tools. Do not miss this opportunity to learn evidence-based techniques you can use
immediately with your clients and improve treatment outcomes.

Objectives
1) Explain the origin and efficacy of the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) including peer reviewed,
published research.
2) Implement self-applied, light touch or tapping on acupoints to calm and rebalance the body system
while thinking about disturbing upsets to create a desensitized state as measured by continuous
dropping of the SUDS level.
3) Distinguish that EFT is a mind-body treatment that desensitizes unwanted thoughts, emotions and
physical discomfort.
4) List exploratory questions to elicit the first or worst defining event and how to treat it in all
manifestations in the past, present and future.
5) Demonstrate EFT techniques for stress, phobias, generalized anxiety disorder, panic and traumatic
events.
6) Describe how EFT can greatly diminish frustrating OCD compulsions and unwanted habits.
7) Utilize a two-prong approach to treating social anxiety: EFT and social skill building.
8) Describe why EFT works in conjunction with and beyond talk therapy and how it often cuts quickly
through resistant problems.
9) Explore working with pain reduction using acupoints and psychological constructs of metaphors
and emotions.
10) State the ethical concerns of not working outside knowledge base and obtaining ongoing
“permission” to use these methods.

After decades of clinical innovation and recent scientific research, the empirically validated Internal Family Systems (IFS) model has been shown to be effective at improving ... moreclients’ general functioning and well-being. This effective model provides clinicians with procedures for helping clients with the most challenging mental health profiles to heal the wounded, burdened, and traumatized parts of their systems. 

The IFS model provides a compassionate, respectful, non-pathologizing approach to understanding the organization and
functioning of the human psyche. 

The transformative IFS approach embraces and celebrates the natural multiplicity of the mind. Its assumption is that every part of the system has good intention and valuable resources allows clinicians to approach even the most troubling of “symptoms” with compassion and respect. IFS offers therapists a powerful and effective set of tools for empowering clients with a wide range of clinical profiles to heal the wounded and burdened parts of their internal systems, resulting in:

a way to enter clients’ inner ecology without the overemphasis on containment and stabilization
symptom reduction and improved functioning for clients
deep self-healing within even the most troubled clients

IFS is a powerful treatment modality. Once you experience it, you will want to incorporate it into your practice. 

Through instruction, video demonstration, and experiential exercises, Alexia D. Rothman, Ph.D., Certified IFS therapist and colleague of Dr. Richard Schwartz (founder of IFS) will show you step-by-step how to apply the most effective, empirically validated IFS interventions to help your clients connect with and understand their conflicting parts to facilitate deep, lasting healing.
