Bring Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Tapping into your practice for difficult resistant problems. Every effective clinician/practitioner needs to have a powerful cognitive somatic method in their tool box.  What is unique is the focus on the thought, emotions and how it is played out in the physical discomfort in the body. This technique goes beyond talk therapy, to release these unwanted reactions in any age client.  It is a powerful adjunct to your clinical practice.

This "how-to-do-it" EFT tapping neurologically-informed workshop is highly experiential with the goal of being able to quietly desensitize resistant problems. The tapping sends a calming signal to the brain so you can operate from your executive functioning, logical brain. 

EFT and tapping have been practiced for over 40 years and now have over 275 peer reviewed research papers in English and another 70 in other languages.

Instructor

Robin Bilazarian, LCSW, DCSW, DCEP (Diplomate in Energy Psychology), and International Certified Master EFT trainer, is a brief therapy expert, author and speaker who uses passion and humor to share a wealth of knowledge and her twenty years of experience integrating EFT into mainstream mental health treatment. She is the author of the Amazon best-seller Tapping the Mighty Mind: Simple Solutions for Stress, Conflict, and Pain. Her passion is to bring these rapid, thorough and gentle meridian and cognitive-based techniques into mainstream clinical mental health treatment.

EFT is a well-researched, comprehensive, mind-body treatment that rapidly desensitizes unwanted thoughts, emotions and connected physical reactions. EFT goes beyond supportive counseling and is actual treatment. It’s surprising how quickly turmoil dissipates; clients are usually better in one session -even if the issue is long standing.

Robin obtained her MSW degree from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of North Carolina/Chapel Hill and interned at Duke Medical Outpatient Psychiatry. Her more than thirty years of clinical practice includes employment in all levels of mental health treatment, including private practice and using EFT in a community mental health center and with medical staff. She was recruited and worked for fourteen years as an internal Employee Assistance Program counselor, bringing these highly effective, short-term techniques to medical staff and students in a regional trauma hospital. Her trainees also included police, fire fighters, first responders, educators, city workers and others. She ran numerous internal and external EFT workshops, including psychiatric rounds and community conferences. She speaks nationally and internationally on this topic and presents frequently for NASW and Rutgers University. She is a sought-after expert in working with anxiety spectrum disorders.
