Top Ten EFT Learnings in a Workshop
AAMET Certified EFT Trainer, Karin Davidson asked her AAMET Level 3 attendees what were the most useful things they learned...
1. All problems were once solutions. The “problem” was developed in response to some event. So, in EFT, we look for what caused the” problem.” If “I don’t make enough money” is the problem, and that is really a solution, then what is the REAL problem? Maybe it’s “I have to work too hard to make money” so you’d find where you learned that and tap with that. If you are overweight, what could being overweight be protecting you from? If you aren’t getting enough clients, what “negative” thing would happen if you did get more clients?
2. Working with the disruption of the energy that causes negative emotion is sometimes not enough. Many times, we need new resources. If procrastination is the problem and it’s solved, what do I do when I’m overwhelmed or I don’t like what I’m supposed to do? If my back problem goes away, then my disability supplement goes away.
3. The subconscious mind reacts according to specific rules it has learned, even if those rules are out of date. Even today, we are reacting to what we learned long ago. Work- ing with where we learned those ‘rules’, those specific core events, works wonderfully and the Generalization Effect, or Gary Craig’s forest, comes tumbling down.
4. Watching live demos and being able to ask questions is extremely helpful. One attendee gave the example of “see- ing/witnessing your work with the demo and the simple but profound (when it comes to trauma) technique of go- ing to the end of the story and doing tapping work on that
first...then going back to the event from the beginning and doing whatever EFT work after some healing took place to prepare and resource them was invaluable.”
5. Many events are related-like a beaver’s log dam. You can work on the recent ones which are like the top of the dam. But getting to the logs at the bottom of the dam – the earlier or even childhood events where the original learn- ing occurred – brings the issue dam down sooner, just like
pulling the bottom logs out first. And sometimes they can be more stubborn because of all the similar and reinforcing events on top of them.
6. It’s all just feedback. Don’t take it personally. If you are truly centered on the client, you can ask the client clarifying questions without leading them. There is no wrong, just feedback.
7. Confidence comes from trusting EFT and knowing your limits. If EFT is not working, then we haven’t gotten to the bottom of it yet. There’s something else there. Keep at it. Don’t think you are doing something wrong. There’s noth- ing wrong with NOT being an expert on everything. Keep learning. Just don’t go where you don’t belong.
8. Trust what you do know, find out more when you don’t. You wouldn’t be tapping with someone if you didn’t believe it could help them. Keep studying so you can learn more. Rely on the basics, they always work. It’s OK to tap with people while you’re learning as long as you are honest with them. No one will ever be perfect. See number 7.
9. Continuous tapping during the entire session can be ex- tremely helpful. Making the “OK” sign with you finger and thumb like an “O”, and then moving your thumb on top of your index finger so it’s pressing on the index finger point is non-invasive. Tapping, pressing or rubbing that point while the client is talking - in between the actual EFT tapping rounds - is simple, easy and useful.
10. Community. Sometimes EFT is just too weird for friends and family. Spending time with other EFT enthu- siasts is great. From an attendee: “It was wonderful to participate in a workshop with others interested in and working in the energy field, learning with and from them. “
