EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUES
PS-3 and PS-4 MENTORING and
CERTIFICATION PROGRAMs

Discover the Real Power of EFT and Make it Your Own

• Increase your confidence and achieve better results working with complex cases
  Mentoring and Certification in EFT equips you to use this method in depth and with the competence required to work with complex problems and clients.
• Upgrade your expertise
  Enjoy the confidence that comes from knowing how to provide ethical services within your scope of practice, and from having achieved a high level of competence in using EFT with your clients.
• Make EFT Part of Yourself!
  Becoming a master of anything is a developmental process.  It takes time, practice,  training and mentoring.   If you want to have the clinical skill and nuance of the trainers and the facilitators of this program you need the training offered in PS 3 and P4.  You need to commit.  There is just no other substitute.  If you are even considering this, watch this 17 minute interview with Advanced EFT Practitioner Jenine Lamberton.
• Amplify your professional credibility
  EFT is the most well-known energy psychology method. With increased visibility and use, also comes increased scrutiny. When you get certified, it tells your clients and referral sources that you've achieved a level of mastery. And it will be easier to get referrals.

You may complete these steps in any order. (For example, you can take the ethics exam at any time in the process.)

The only exception to this: membership and the consultation/video reviews are essentially done simultaneously.

These mentoring sessions are semi-structured and include a specific focus for each session. Each participant will be asked to demonstrate a specific skill. Students are expected to bring specific cases.

Bring a challenge, issue or brag.Should you need additional consultation time beyond the 5 hours, the cost will be $125/hour, payable to ACEP. The need for additional consultation time is determined by your consultant. 

5. Submit three videos for review*
It's mandatory to send your signed client release to your consultant before they review any of your videos.

2nd Video: Show the Tearless Trauma Technique and Tell The Story Technique.

3rd Video:  Putting it all together. You will include a written configuration of your individual session.

6. Complete EFT Ethics Course and pass the exam. When you have completed the course and passed the exam, the Course Administrator will sent to you via email a Certificate of Completion. The Course Administrator will also copy ACEP on the email, notifying ACEP that you have successfully completed the ethics requirement for certification.

1. Complete ACEP EFT certification
2. Use this link to complete your application for advanced EFT certification.
3. Additional 50 hours of multi-session clients
   
4. Integrated written Case and Video Presentation ($595)
   
   The main criteria of advanced certification are that the practitioner demonstrates advanced skills in:

• • • identifying treatment goals,
    • discerning limiting beliefs & schema and discovering originating traumatic events
    • clarifying aspects of a traumatic/stressful event
    • assessing outcomes of EFT interventions and making adjustments based on those outcomes
    • tracking and managing the direction and intensity of the session

all while maintaining good rapport and engagement with the client so that the treatment is effective.

Basic certification focused on demonstrating that the practitioner knows how to perform the foundational skills of EFT.  ADVANCED certification focuses on how well the practitioner can put all basic skills together in an artful and competent PROCESS.  To this end, Advanced Certification is constructed somewhat differently than first level certification.

The student should be prepared to track the process of working with a client over several sessions from the beginning of treatment or the beginning of a section of treatment, where the client has a relatively vague complaint (presenting issue such as a public speaking phobia or anxiety) through the identification of beliefs/schemas/table tops to the identification of an originating event (table leg) from childhood/adolescence that supports those beliefs/schemas/table tops, through treatment of at least one of those legs and testing.

We would expect that this would take between 2-3 sessions.  The student should video record all of these sessions (more on this in a moment). The student will be expected to present a written report documenting the presenting issue, the underlying beliefs/schemas/table tops to the identification of specific events (table legs) that support each of those beliefs/schemas/table tops.   The identification of the emotional crescendos and aspects, the results of testing and follow up of at least one successfully treated specific event.

Depending on the length and number of videos, the student will either present the videos in their entirety or identify the time sequences in the various videos to demonstrate their interactions with the client.   The person being presented must be a client or remotely affiliated non-client such as a friend-of-a-friend or acquaintance.  (Cannot be a family member, personal friend or another student in the EFT training program)

5.  5 hours sessions of online one-on-one consultation ($695). These sessions are semi-structured and include a specific focus for each session. Each participant will be asked to demonstrate a specific skill. Students are expected to bring specific cases. You can bring a challenge, issue or brag).

6.  Enroll in the Science of Energy Healing online course and pass the CE exam (SPECIAL PRICE of $297 including CE hours if you have not taken the course previously. If you have, you'll just provide proof of passing the test.) Contact the office for a coupon code.

Total Basic Cost for Advanced Certification is $1587
