Deepen Your Expertise

Emotional Freedom Techniques Professional Skills 2 builds on the information and skills you learned in Professional Skills 1.  Since you are reading this,  you must be serious about getting good at using EFT. Congratulations.  EFT is a powerful tool that gets more and more flexible, nuanced and powerful as you learn more about EFT and grow as a therapist.

You'll gain additional tools, knowledge and experience, allowing you to effectively address more complex issues.

As in PS1, the emphasis is on increasing the scope and breadth of your EFT skills within the context of established trauma-informed protocols. You will gain increased flexibility and confidence when using EFT in your clinical work. We’ve added a fifth Zoom session to PS2, allowing for more supervised practice time.

Becoming a master of EFT is a developmental journey.  After you have completed PS 2, you can further increase your expertise by joining ACEP's EFT Mentoring and Certification Program.   Check out what Advanced Practitioner Jenine Lamberton has to say about this. Click here - It's very cool.

 

"EFT Professional Skills 2 is an excellent resource for mental health clinicians working with clients with a wide range of psychological and trauma-related conditions. This training is filled with practical and creative techniques for reducing a client’s anxiety and stress, facilitating further work using trauma-informed treatments. I recommend this workshop to all therapists looking to enhance their clinical skills, whether you are a mental health trainee or a more experienced professional."

Marlene Steinberg, MD

 

"The online format and organization of the class materials made learning fun and easy. The instructors and the course content were concise, clear and thorough. I feel much more confident in my skills and ability to implement EFT effectively with clients."

Kelly J. Myers, PsyD, LP, EEM-CLP

Final Exam & Evaluation

EFT PS-3, EFT PS-4 ADVANCED TRAINING, MENTORING & CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS

You probably have heard about the idea that it takes 10,000 hours to become totally expert at something.  What is less well known is that it is not just 10,000 hours. Those hours must include feedback and correction! It won't take you 10,000 hours to become super skilled with EFT, but excellence does require mentoring and feedback.    ACEP's EFT Mentoring and Certification Program comes in.

Professional Skills 3 leads to you becoming an ACEP Certified Practitioner of EFT

Professional Skills 4 leads to you becoming an ACEP Certified Advanced Practitioner of EFT

In each program you get one-on-one feedback of your work.  They are reasonably priced and are available on an ongoing basis. You may enroll in these programs after you have completed EFT PS1 and EFT PS2.   

More information about the PS3 and PS4 mentoring and certification program can be found here.
