EFT, Relationships & Families - Diane Holliday

Friday 29th January:  2pm - 5pm, £25

This workshop is at Ilkley Healing Centre

How can we use EFT with more than person present as can happen in relationship and family work.  Practitioners mostly work one-to-one or with group sessions such as Tapping Groups and Training but when we work with people who are intimately connected we need a different approach.   When relationships are in trouble or family bonds breakdown we the practitioners have to look at the bigger picture and help the participants to form non judgemental strategies to cope.  We take a look at the ‘story’ that each person presents, reactions from family, and learn to ‘hear’ the other persons’ stories and tap for any emotions that arise.  www.who2.co.uk      Relationships Case Study
