Psychological trauma is now recognized as a risk factor in both psychological and physical problems. The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study among others, has demonstrated the strong tie between early psychological trauma and later emergence of physical and psychological conditions, including an increased risk for suicide.
Despite the pervasive nature of trauma and its consequences, specific training in trauma treatment has not been consistently offered for psychotherapists, mental health counselors, social service workers or coaches.
“Excellent workshop, excellent teacher, great teaching style! Much helpful background information and some
very helpful, practical tools. Brava!” VB
This Training is intended to help EFT practitioners understand the many faces of trauma, and how to address it in an effective and competent way. The treatment portion will focus using Clinical EFT to reduce and/or eliminate the Post-Trauma symptoms clients may be experiencing. You will have ample opportunity to practice your new skills in a safe environment during this lively, experiential Training.
Competently performed EFT breaks the well-worn neural pathways that determine the reactions clients have to triggers in their environment. As such, this specialized Trauma Training is essential for every EFT therapist and coach.

Complex Trauma, also called PTSD-C or Disorders of Extreme Stress (DESNOS), is quite different from simple Post Traumatic Stress in its causes and treatment. Complex Trauma results from chronic, repetitive stress from which there is no chance of escape. Simple PTS, on the other hand, more often results from single discrete events, several discrete events or short-term exposure to extreme stress or trauma. Treating Complex Trauma is fraught with opportunities to trigger abreactions and retraumatization.
Since the introduction of PTSD in the DSM-III, research looking at the effects of trauma on people has shown that the diagnosis of PTSD captures only a limited amount of post-traumatic effects. Two critical elements in influencing survivors’ outcomes are the developmental level at which the trauma occurs, and whether it occurs in the context of a relationship with a caregiver or intimate partner.
For example, survivors of car accidents or natural disasters often have quite different clinical presentations and treatment needs than those who experienced ongoing abuse, deprivation, and/or neglect at the hands of their caregivers. These survivors are often easily triggered with a fragile hold on normal functioning. They often present with major personality disorders. EFT Practitioners who mistake PTS-C for simple PTS can find themselves mired in difficulty, and their clients experiencing unnecessary and sometimes dangerous, pain and confusion.
“OMG! What a fabulous workshop.” JB, PhD
Survivors of early interpersonal trauma who develop more complex and difficult to treat symptoms need to be approached with great care and expertise. It is essential that EFT Practitioners understand the difference between “simple” Post Traumatic Stress and the effects of Complex Trauma. This Training is specifically intended to help practitioners understand the many faces of complex trauma, and how to address them safely and competently with Clinical EFT.
“If you do EFT, you need this training. Period. End of story!” LJL
