EFT Level 1+

A two-day training showing you how to use of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) to give you a simple and versatile way of making a difference in your emotional life.

Do you often feel anxious or stressed?
Sometimes anxiety or other negative emotions can really interfere with your life stopping you from doing the kinds of things you’d really like to. After this course you’ll have a simple method for substantially reducing the negative emotions in your life and giving you much more freedom

Are you a hostage to the past?
Are you haunted by the past, bothered by old unpleasant memories. When you finish this course you’ll be able to neutralise old unhelpful memories and break free of the past.

Do you suffer from physical symptoms or pain?
Sometimes physical symptoms, especially pain, can make life quite unpleasant. At the end of this course you will have a way of relieving symptoms and feeling comfortably relaxed.

Having trouble giving up things that are bad for you?
Chocolate, cigarettes, nail-biting and other compulsive habits can be very frustrating, sometimes willpower alone is just not enough. After this course you will have a way to reduce or even eliminate those compulsions so that you may not need any willpower to make those changes.

What is EFT?

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) invented by Gary Craig is one of the new ‘Energy Psychology’ methods that are spreading around the world. It’s easy to learn and use and has a high rate of success. Recently you may have seen Paul McKenna on GMTV relieving a variety of phobias using a strange ‘tapping’ method, EFT is one such technique.

EFT is a simple, yet very effective, healing process that uses your body’s built in stress relief system. By tapping with the fingertips on the ends of acupuncture meridians you can reduce, or eliminate, all types of negative emotions including fears, anger, phobias, grief, traumatic memories, stress and anxiety. EFT can also relieve many physical conditions that may have an emotional component, such as headaches, muscle stiffness, pain, food cravings, smoking, itching and nail-biting.

Why is this a two day training?

Most AAMET EFT Level 1 trainings take just one day. In fact, my earlier EFT Level 1 trainings have been in the one day format so why the change?

There are a few  reasons:

1. There is a lot to learn
There is a large amount of information and techniques to fit into a one day training. To cover the ground in the time available means that you don’t have much time to explore the techniques in much detail. It’s a whistle-stop tour through the basics, working with memories, dealing with cravings, and using EFT with physical issues. That is a lot of material to cover in a short space of time and it’s difficult to do it justice in one day.

2. To learn EFT you need to practice.
You can learn about EFT in a day, to learn how to use EFT you need to practice. The more practice you get the more you learn. In a one day Level 1 training it is only possible to give a limited amount of practical experience in the time available. In two days there is more time to practice, reflect on, and discuss what you are doing.

3. Practice gives confidence.
Many people are  bowled over by the results of EFT during a one day training. They are amazed and inspired by what they learn during the day, but when they get home they are not sure how to put their learning into practice without the trainer to ask. You need to have the practice to gain confidence in what you are doing and how to do it so that you can use it for yourself.

The EFT Level 1+ course covers the AAMET Level 1 syllabus, gives you many opportunities to practice and adds two new processes specifically designed for using EFT In daily life. It is designed to give you a thorough introduction to EFT and give you the skills and confidence to use it beyond the training room.

The EFT Level 1+ consists of eight modules spread over the two days.

• Module 1: Introduction to EFT and ‘The Basic Recipe’
• Module 2: Principles of EFT and the Simple version.
• Module 3: Using EFT to take the strain out of challenging situations.
• Module 4: Neutralising unpleasant memories with EFT
• Module 5: The Personal Peace Procedure – A step by step process for undoing the past.
• Module 6: Working with cravings and physical issues
• Module 7: Taking the strain out of challenging relationships
• Module 8: More practice and how to use EFT in daily life

The course includes a full manual and all training materials. At the end of the training you will receive an AAMET EFT Level 1 Attendance Certificate which is required if you want to progress to the EFT Level 2 training to add EFT to your professional tool box.

Note: These EFT Level 1+ Training courses are designed to show you how to use EFT to relieve your own issues and to do simple work with family and friends. This is not a substitute for personal therapy, nor will it train you to be an EFT therapist in your own right, though you may use the certificate to attend an EFT Level 2 course for further training.

Full manual and certificate of completion provided.

What people are saying.

“I first got interested in EFT after a friend of mine overcame her fear of flying by working with Andy. I was bowled over by EFT when I first started to use it after learning it from manuals on the Internet. It seemed pretty weird but it worked so well! So I wanted to use it in my work with people with common mental health problems … The course was matter of fact, fun and easy to follow … for the price it was one of the best training days I have ever enjoyed and extremely useful too”

Liz Kirsopp

“I think the pace of the course was good. There is nothing worse than sitting through endless bits of theory when you’re itching to get going on the practical…so it was great that you soon had us tapping away!”

Elizabeth English

“The Level 1 course was fantastic. Lots of ’stuff’ to work on both on the day and afterwards. I particularly appreciate the ‘craving’ technique as I’m now totally Pringle free. No craving, no desire, nothing. How good is that? … There was nothing about the day I did not enjoy or feel could be done better. The group size was small and that possibly made my enjoyment more memorable. Your style was informal and informative.”

Carole Briggs

“Working in pairs – tapping together. It was really useful that the group had a varying background and different motivations for attending”

Lesley Wingfield

“Excellent day. Very interactive with lots of practice. Will highly recommend this to colleagues.”

Christine Brock

“Really enjoyed practising technique with people haven’t met before. Didn’t really know very much about EFT – very impressed with simplicity and results”

Caroline Cogdon.

“The simplicity of it. How Andy explains it in such a down to earth, practical yet humorous way. I got to release loads, so easily and quickly, thanks.”
