EFT Tapping for Therapists - An Experiential Introduction

EFT Tapping for Therapists: An Experiential Introduction

 

Meeting Room • The Pavilions • Teignmouth • 21st November
Optional Zoom Taster • 14th May, 12pm

A long time ago, I heard "What is for you will not pass you by". This has certainly been true for many of us with EFT Tapping. It was for me.

For years, I was curious, but sooo sceptical. It looked too "new age", too odd, too far from the familiar terrain of Western medicine and talking therapies. And then, life started to take me to odd, new age spaces, and I started to experience things I never thought possible before. So I finally allowed myself to try tapping, and something profound happened: my whole career finally integrated. What I knew about meridians and energy from my tai chi and qigong practice merged beautifully with my psychotherapy work. I felt more engaged in my work, more excited about the future of counselling and psychotherapy. I also started to see phenomenal changes in some clients.

This workshop is an invitation into that territory: where the body, the words, and the experience come together to bring you to new levels of understanding and professional depth.

What Is EFT Tapping?

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), often called “tapping,” is a gentle, body‑based method that combines elements of psychology with light tapping on specific acupressure points. It’s used to help calm the nervous system, reduce emotional intensity, and support the release of stress and trauma held in the body. Although it may look unusual at first, many therapists find that tapping offers a surprisingly effective way to help clients regulate, ground, and move through difficult emotional states. This workshop offers a safe, experiential introduction for anyone curious about how tapping works and how it can be integrated into therapeutic practice.

A Day of EFT Training For Therapists

Across the day, we’ll briefly explore the science behind tapping, simple ways to integrate it into your practice, and how to create safety with tapping and other energy psychology techniques, all through direct experience. This is what you will explore:

  • Why tapping works: the leading hypotheses on why tapping is effective in therapy.

  • The EFT Basic Recipe: clear, structured guidance you can begin using immediately.

  • Different tapping methods: EFT is not the only acupoint tapping method. You will briefly hear about TFT, PEP, and variations of the basic recipe.

  • Integrating tapping into therapeutic work: how tapping can support self-regulation, grounding, and gentle release without overwhelming the system.

  • Deep experiential practice: you will learn by doing: through demonstrations, guided rounds, and paired exercises that let you feel the shifts in your own body.

This is an EFT training for therapists who value depth, safety, and curiosity, and who are open to discovering that something as strange as tapping acupoints can create meaningful change in their lives and their therapy rooms.

Why Therapists Are Turning to EFT Tapping

Tapping offers a way to:

  • Soften emotional intensity without bypassing

  • Support clients who struggle to verbalise or stay regulated

  • Work gently with trauma responses

  • Help clients build self-regulation between sessions

  • Offer therapists a grounding tool for their own nervous systems

It is deceptively simple, but not simplistic. It meets the body where it is, and invites it at an gentle pace towards ease (as opposed to dis-ease).

This introductory session is the second in a series designed to inform Alda's upcoming book on using creativity and energy psychology to overcome traumatic wounds.
