Description

Your anxious and traumatized clients are suffering. Their bodies have been hijacked while anxiety and trauma keep their minds working overtime. They want to change how they feel and take control of their lives. They need your help to get relief and move forward through their traumatic experiences and anxious episodes.

As a therapist, what do you need to make a difference in their lives? You need action-oriented mind-body tools that can be customized to the unique needs of your clients. When they walk out of your office, you want to feel confident they have the tools to heal and stay in control when powerful emotions come at unexpected times.

Energy Psychology (EP) approaches offer state of the art evidence- based techniques to rapidly treat PTSD and anxiety. Commonly known as “Tapping”, these strategies have a rapidly growing base of research evidence and an ever-increasing group of followers - clinicians and clients alike.

And now, you can learn these effective techniques from one of the country’s leading experts on Energy Psychology – Dr. Robert Schwarz.

Join Dr. Schwarz for this webcast and he will give you:

  • Methods to integrate EFT/EP within a trauma informed approach
  • State-of-the-art therapy that utilizes the mind-body connection
  • The ability to treat aspects of PTSD in 6 sessions or less
  • Techniques to help clients rapidly reduce overwhelming negative affect w/o medication
  • A framework to integrate EP with other treatment modalities

When you use EP in your practice, you will notice that your clients now feel safer, calmer, and hopeful about their futures. Discover the skills you need to transform the lives of your traumatized and anxious clients.
