Emotional Scale - Christine Sutton & Philip Davies Christine Sutton and Philip Davis will talk about the relevance of the Emotional Scale to EFT practice. You will see how important it is for both client and therapist to be able to identify not just the emotional intensity being felt but also which emotion(s) are being accessed at any point in the processing. Using the scale as a secondary testing tool can help to give both direction and structure to each session and reinforce the shifts which have already been achieved.

Using Your Intuition with EFT - Karin Davidson

 So you've heard that EFT is a little "out there" ? How about "knowing" what your client is feeling? Or "getting" exactly the right question to ask a client when they are stuck? We all have done it at least once and usually more times. At least we ALL have thought of a friend and then the phone rings and.... Karin will not only give you various ways to develop this form of intuitive working, but help you apply it in your EFT sessions and in life. It's not as weird as it sounds. And it certainly creates a few funny stories along the way.
