Yes!
All the main materials are ready and inside the student area, so you can start working through the materials as soon as you enrol.

The group live calls are there to offer you more support, answer any questions and clarify any subjects.

Around 2-3 hours of focused time per week is the recommended workload for this course.

It is definitely possible to do more & practice more if you have the time and space.

If you attend the weekly Q&A group calls this will massively help and keep you focused. If there aren’t many questions on the call - we can always practice more tapping!

If you do not have that amount of time and space available it is possible to do less, however, the chances of completing the program in 3 months becomes less likely.

Some people prefer to go slowly with the training and that is OK too!

You do have lifetime access however for momentum's sake, I recommend the 2-3 hours a week as a base.

Yes!
The default currency processor for my online programs is set in USD.

So, at checkout it will be displayed in USD.

However, the payment system "Stripe" will convert your currency into USD at payment.

Stripe is extremely secure, is the best online payment system these days, has low fees and will do all the currency conversions at checkout.

So, you just put in your credit card or debit card numbers and it will process the USD equivalent.

If you want, be sure to do a quick currency converter through a website like xe.com to check what your currency conversion looks like against the USD. on the day of purchase.

Yes! Of course.

The course is designed in a way that it’s possible to complete it fully in just a 3 month time frame.

However, we understand that you may need more time and that’s fine too!

Once you are enrolled, you will have lifetime access so it’s ok to take your time with it.

The simple answer is yes.

This training delves into the basics of trauma, offering insights into its identification and the steps to be taken when faced with symptoms of trauma.

It also encompasses various beginner-level techniques and methods for managing and addressing it.

This training focuses on the foundations of EFT and how to use it in most situations and with most diseases or imbalances. Therefore, this course would primarily serve as a foundation for trauma-informed EFT enthusiasts and practitioners.

If you want to specialise in EFT for trauma, I would recommend supplementing this course with specialised trauma-focused training.

A prime example of such programs is the one offered by Peter Levine PhD, which could add invaluable depth to your EFT foundations.

Here’s a brief explanation of the differences between Clinical EFT, Internet EFT, Positive EFT, Michael’s EFT and this Training Program.

Clinical EFT

Clinical EFT refers to the standardized and evidence-based practice of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) that is typically administered by trained professionals in a therapeutic setting. Because it involves the body, clinical EFT is considered a mind-and-body (somatic) practice.

This approach is based on a comprehensive set of protocols and procedures that have been validated through numerous scientific studies.

Clinical EFT is highly structured and follows a specific sequence to ensure effectiveness and consistency.

While it’s very effective, some of the disadvantages of clinical EFT are that it lacks flexibility, intuition, and the ability to combine different modalities and therapeutic approaches. This is because the practitioner must follow a very strict protocol when using EFT Tapping.

Internet EFT

Internet EFT refers to the practice of EFT as taught and performed online, often through videos, webinars, or self-help courses. This form of EFT is more accessible to the general public and can be used for a wide range of issues, from minor stress relief to more significant emotional challenges.

While it can be very effective, Internet EFT typically lacks the personalized guidance and tailored approach that a trained practitioner provides in a clinical setting.

Users may follow general tapping scripts and protocols available on websites or video platforms, which might not address individual needs as precisely as something like Clinical EFT.

Positive EFT

Positive EFT focuses on enhancing positive emotions and experiences rather than solely addressing negative issues and traumas.

Positive EFT involves tapping on the same meridian points but with affirmations and statements that emphasize positive outcomes and desired emotional states, similar to affirmation work.

This method can be useful for personal development, goal setting, and increasing overall well-being; however, its main disadvantage is that it doesn’t address deeper core psycho-emotional issues (e.g., trauma) and, therefore, can lack real therapeutic benefits.

While positive EFT Tapping can often help us feel good for a while, the effects are usually not long-lasting.

Therefore, it is recommended that Positive EFT be combined with something like Clinical EFT so that it covers all the areas more thoroughly and effectively.

Michael’s EFT Style and this EFT Training Program

Michael’s EFT Style is influenced by several different modalities, from Internet EFT (as displayed on his YouTube channel) to Clinical EFT combined with mindfulness and Chinese medicine theory. He is not a big fan of positive EFT.

Over the years, Michael has learned to incorporate only the modalities that he has found to be very effective, scientific and complementary.

These other modalities include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Somatic Awareness Therapy, Chinese medicine and Mindfulness.

This EFT Practitioner Training program uses Clinical EFT as its foundation.

It then subtly adds influences and techniques from the other modalities, such as those listed above. While we don’t go into each of these other modalities in-depth, any EFT student of this course will be able to see their influence in the course's contents and instruction.

This training program, therefore, offers students a strong foundation in EFT, plus adds a variety of influences and styles so that students have options and can find their own way with EFT Tapping.

Michael believes that students should be well-rounded and able to combine various modalities, allowing them to be creative yet still scientific and effective.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a rising star in the field of Energy Psychology, carving a niche for itself within the realms of psychology and neuroscience.

As an emerging discipline, EFT is increasingly garnering attention for its impressive results that often outperform Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), currently recognised as the gold standard in psychotherapy.

Here is some of the latest science on EFT:

Brain scans confirm 76% of patients treated with EFT experienced complete remission

A Study Shows 90% Drop in PTSD Symptoms after 6 weeks of EFT Treatment

4-hours of EFT Tapping produces a significant reduction in psychological distress, pain, and cravings in healthcare workers

After Tapping, fMRI scans prove that those parts of the brain that usually activate cravings and hunger in response to certain foods no longer did.

In a recent study, EFT was found to reduce depressive symptoms by 41% on average

In a pilot study on the physiological effect of EFT Tapping, the genetic expression changed in 72 genes implicated in overall health.

A study by Dr Peta Stapleton, published in 2012 in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, found that EFT Tapping lowered cortisol significantly more than traditional talk therapy or resting.

One of the pioneering voices in this field is Dr David Feinstein, a renowned clinical psychologist. He has tirelessly advocated for the power and potential of EFT and Energy Psychology, backed by comprehensive scientific research. His contribution to the field extends beyond research; he has authored numerous books and published various articles that shed light on the science behind these compelling modalities.

Alongside the many doctors, psychiatrists & psychologists who are now advocating and promoting EFT, in some university psychology degrees in the USA they are starting to talk about EFT as a promising new modality.

Yes, of course!
