EFT started out as a self-help tool

When EFT was first created in the 1990s, it spread largely by word of mouth and email news, by people learning it by following instructions from a free e-book, trying it out on themselves, maybe finding out more by attending a workshop, sharing with friends, sending their success stories to Gary Craig, who published these on his Emofree.com website and in his twice-weekly email newsletter.

Some of these people were also MDs, psychiatrists, psychologists, counsellors or LCSWs and thus it also started to spread amongst health professionals, who, in turn, felt the need to publish research and now there are hundreds of peer-reviewed published papers on EFT.

So you, too, can learn EFT, to benefit yourself and share it with your friends and family. There is so much you can do to help yourself. It is an invaluable life skill. Whatever challenges you encounter as you make your way through life’s rich tapestry of experience, there will be a way to apply EFT to the related feelings, and lighten the load. And, although you get better results from working with an experienced practitioner, even complete newbies can often get significant success on their own by just carefully following the instructions (but please don’t try this with heavy stuff, long-standing trauma, etc).

What is the best way to learn EFT?

Without doubt the answer to this question is in person live, from an expert – and at EFT Devon you are in the right place to be able to do just that.

There are a number of options with differing levels of in-person expert involvement, to suit your budget, from:

• 1:1 time with Jacqui or an associate (£90 per 60 – 75 minute session)
• the full in-depth eight-week combined EFT Levels 1&2 eight-week training (£597 / £567 Early Bird, which also includes one bonus session 1:1 with Jacqui)

to:

• free online EFT Basics course (which will be available shortly)
  or, meanwhile,
• the 45-minute free Taster Tapping for Stress Group every other Friday afternoon.

As well as a growing selection of online courses and tapping groups.

I believe the in-person expert tuition is so important that there is always some element of opportunity to meet me and ask questions live, even in the online courses, where this is provided through a regular live “office hours” session.

However, if you want to learn the most you can, to ensure you are keeping yourself or friends/family safe as you work and ensure best possible results, it is best to learn ALL the basics as you do in the 8-session in-depth EFT Levels 1&2 course. This is one of the reasons why I no longer deliver a separate Level 1 course. If you just want to get started, then there is the free Friday Tapping Group and my YouTube channel. However, if you are going to make more of an investment than that, then it is best to do a “proper job” (as they say in Devon!)

Working 1:1 with a practitioner

This is for you if you have one or more specific issues you would like to work on (with a therapist) and you would also like to learn what EFT can do to help yourself in between sessions, as well as equipping yourself forever with an emotional first-aid tool at your fingertips. You may also choose to combine 1:1 therapy with full EFT Training. Find out more about working 1:1 with one of our practitioners here:

The 8-session in-depth course

You could either do this training alone or combine it with 1:1 therapy/coaching sessions so you get the support of an expert for your own personal progress combined with comprehensive knowledge of exactly the best way to do EFT for yourself. Find out more about this course here.

Make the most of both; get best value from the combination; learn to do as much on yourself as you can, and just book sessions with the practitioner if you get stuck on your own. You may also find that you befriend tapping buddies on the course to swap sessions with.
