Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a powerful technology for quickly resolving emotional distress. It is even capable of relieving physical complaints such as chronic pain, allergic symptoms, and much more. When effective, not only does it do this quickly, it works without forcing the recipient to repeatedly re-experience the negative emotional state.

More About EFT.........

This treatment (EFT) is generally permanent, relatively easy to apply, boasts a higher than 80% success rate and is free of negative side effects. It can increase your skill, speed and effectiveness in treating psychological problems. Emotional Freedom Techniques, developed by Gary Craig, is an exciting and revolutionary approach to rapid and lasting resolution of psychological and emotional disturbances.  By directly addressing the disrupted energy flows, people are quickly able to end long standing overwhelming negative patterns.  EFT helps end the suffering from trauma symptoms, grief, fears & phobias, anger, addictive cravings, guilt and even chronic pain such as with fibromyalgia - often in minutes. The theory upon which this method is based is that “the cause of all negative emotion is a disruption in the body's energy system”. Using Emotional Freedom Techniques, disruptions are removed by simply tapping with our fingertips on selected points along the body's energy meridians while keeping the problem in mind. More information on EFT and the various tapping points can be found here. 


David Rourke attended an Emotional Freedom Techniques workshop  given to clinicians and Social Workers in Toronto, Canada in the fall of 1998. Curiosity led him to attend; fascination led him to seek additional information and training. Skepticism gave way to a true awe.  How could it be so quick, so easy to do away with anxiety and other emotional problems, even long-term trauma?  But, it DOES work!

He has presented Emotional Freedom Techniques at the Institute on Addiction Studies in Canada for the last five years and has conducted numerous Level 1 and Level 2 workshops and seminars, teaching EFT to a wide variety of audiences.  He has held numerous CE approved workshops for professional counsellors and therapists.

He believes these amazing techniques need to be shared with others.  Professionals need awareness and experience of ALL effective ‘tools’ to add to their therapeutic tool box!

Since 1998, David Rourke has attended many specific workshops and conferences to expand his knowledge and expertise of these techniques.  He has worked with Gary Craig on several occasions and is a regular contributor to several EFT Newsletters including Gary Craig's website.  He is credentialed as an EFT Master, Cert.-Honors and uses Emotional Freedom Techniques in his private practise to facilitate healing from major trauma, addictions, phobias and anything else that gets in the way of true happiness.

David is currently providing Emotional Freedom Techniques training sessions throughout Canada and the U.S. For more information on workshop dates or to book in-house training, please call: 1-888-834-7073 or email David Rourke & Associates.

 


Energy Therapy,  at times called acupuncture for the emotions, is highly effective in reducing the impact of trauma and stressful events. 

The effect of the technique is calming and allows the client to think more clearly about the issue.  In most cases the negative emotion is simply no longer present. 

Dr. Callahan has taught hundreds of therapists his techniques.  His students have since developed variations of his techniques that simplify the process both for the therapists and the client.  In the large majority of cases these modifications are effective in reducing the impact of trauma, phobia and negative emotions.

Gary Craig, a Stanford engineer, developed a simplified procedure he called Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT).  EFT can be easily taught and explained to your client.  Because of the surprising effectiveness of these techniques, interest in EFT and the Energy Psychology field is growing rapidly.   Energy Therapy is a powerful method for reducing stress and anxiety, can deal with any negative emotion, and can be used with any age group. It is natural, drug-free and rapid. 

While, as with all techniques, there is no guarantee that this method will work for everyone, there is a VERY high degree of success. Your clients do not have to be in therapy for months or years to overcome their problems.   This is the ultimate in brief therapy!  Get over drug and alcohol addictions, all types of phobia or severe trauma, sometimes in only minutes.


Learn more!  Powerful presentations, combined with experiential exercises, will teach the techniques for this type of therapy.  You will have opportunity to practice these methods and ask questions.  You will leave the training workshop with skills you can start using the very next day!

Training Workshops are scheduled throughout the year and are ideal for therapists or others who are interested in learning EFT. Specialized workshops can be arranged for your company, organization, sports team or private interest group. All of the EFT Training Workshops offered by David Rourke and Associates are EFT Approved Courses. They include training and presentation materials as well as select CD-ROM and DVD sets.
