Frequently Asked Questions

• Q.Do you need to know anything about EFT to take this Course? What if you already know some EFT – Is this course helpful?

  A.We’ve offered this course for several years now.  You do not need to know anything about EFT to take this course.  That said, we’ve had many people who have had varying degrees of EFT training.  Virtually all of them have found this course extremely useful for increasing their skill level in EFT and learning how to integrate EFT within clinical practice.

• Q.How much time do you have to devote to the course per week?

  A.The minimum is about 2 hours per week to watch the videos at least once and 1 hour per week starting the second week for the small group practice sessions.

  Depending on your learning style, where you are in your training as a therapist, and how quickly you want to master the material,  you may want to spend more time watching videos more than once.   The more you put in to the course the more you get out of it.  It is vitally important that you watch the relevant videos BEFORE your practice session.

• Q.What happens if I cannot attend a small group session?

  A.It’s very important to attend all of these sessions.  If you miss any session, CE rules state that you cannot get CE.   More importantly you are not getting the practice that you need.   If extenuating circumstances cause you to miss your session you may be able to attend another in the same week. If you miss the one week and can not attend another in the same week, you may request permission to join that week in the next offered course in order to receive CE and your certificate.  If you are not granted permission or miss more than one week, you can retake the course at another time at 50% off.

• Q.Do I need to watch the videos before the practice session?

  A.Absolutely Yes.   Think of it this way.  The video is like the teacher teaching you the skills and then providing demonstrations.  How can you practice if you have not been in the room ( so to speak).  Not only is it not fair to you.  Its not fair to the other people in your group.  The partner you are paired up with will not have a partner who can be an effective practitioner during the practice.

• Q.Does this course integrate EFT within a trauma informed approach?

  A.Yes it does.  EFT fits very well into a trauma informed approach.   This course is designed so that you can use EFT to keep people within the window of tolerance when working with traumatic events.

• Q.Are there demonstrations in the course?

  A.Not only are there demonstrations, there is a demonstration with instant commentary along the way.   This one video could be watched many times to learn the subtleties of EFT.

• Q.The Website says there are CEs for psychologists.  Does this mean that you offer APA approved CE’s for psychologists?

  A.Yes it does!

• Q.Does this course give me the tools to actually work with clients?

  A.BY the end of the training, the material in this course can give a person who is already trained in working with people the skills to use EFT with clients in a variety of situations such as trauma, anxiety,  depression and performance issues .   That said there are a few caveats.  First, don’t use what you learn in this course with the types of problems that are beyond your scope of practice or training.   For instance, if you’ve never worked with  dissociative disorders, don’t try to use what you’ve learned here until you know a lot more about dissociative disorders  (even though EFT can be very useful for DID clients).  Second, the more you absorb the material in this course the more you will be able to apply it to your practice.

• Q.As I go through the course should I be using EFT with other people?

  A.We strongly encourage people to practice EFT as much as possible.  You can practice on yourself and with colleagues, friends, and other people in the training.   You can even practice with some clients as long as you properly inform them that you are learning and this is an experiment.   As you are practicing, you should only practice with clients that you consider to be stable, easy to work with, on relatively easy problems until you build up your skill set.  We discuss this in the course.

• Q.So what training do I need to become very skilled in EFT?

  A.This is a very important question.   We would strongly advise that you  take this course and then follow up with EFT Professional skills 2.    We also strongly advise that you commit to practicing EFT with Clients and./or fellow students.   One key to mastery is practice.     EFT can be both powerful and nuanced to effectively work with the most difficult problems. To really achieve mastery, as in any therapeutic style, more training and mentoring is required. This is where our advanced training, mentoring and certification programs of PS3 and PS 4 come in.   See the section above about advanced training, mentoring and certification.  Listen to what Advanced Practitioner Janine Lamberton says.   It simply is great training at a reasonable price that will give you a tool that will grows with you no matter how skilled you get.
