Description
What do you do with anxiety and trauma clients who do not improve?
The anxiety spectrum exemplifies the disorders where emotions override thought.
Robin Bilazarian – Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Tapping: Evidence-Based, Mind-Body Treatment Approach to the Anxiety Spectrum Disorders and Pain
Fragmented 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 recording focuses on cutting-edge techniques of EFT to treat the anxiety spectrum disorders including:

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.
