All 3 Demonstrations with Commentary 

10 hours (6 Hours Homestudy - 4 Hours live)

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

1. Identify how phase-oriented trauma treatment principles (stabilization, processing, integration) were applied across three different client demonstrations, and explain the rationale for shifting between Tearless Trauma and Tell the Story techniques.
2. Demonstrate the ability to recognize and respond to client dysregulation by tracking micro-signals (changes in breathing, posture, tone, affect) and applying titration and containment strategies to maintain work within the window of tolerance.
3. Apply the principles of precision attending by utilizing client language, images, emotions, and somatic cues to construct effective setup phrases and guide tapping sequences tailored to each demonstration.
4. Evaluate the role of therapist presence and regulation in sustaining safety and therapeutic alliance during emotionally charged trauma processing, including examples of practitioner self-regulation through co-tapping and intuitive adjustments.
5. Compare and contrast the unfolding of EFT interventions across Heather, Deb, and Rick’s cases, illustrating how curious non-attachment, utilization, and flexibility allow techniques to adapt uniquely to each client’s trauma narrative
6. Apply The Meta Skills Model to evaluate the interactions between the therapist and the client of a clinical session
7. Apply the Principles of effective work with trauma and belief to identify a belief from a clients chief complaint and to isolate at least one traumatic incident that created or supported the belief development
