To get the best results before you invest your time, energy, and money, you need to know a few things up front.

1. Understand that not all practitioners are the same. A great practitioner is worth every penny. Look for a doctor who is experienced and well trained. Over the years, I have found that those who make the effort to get hands-on training are the ones who take their job seriously. The EFTU certification requires a mandatory period of time with a mentor who will ensure that each candidate is ready to become a professional. Certification programs that don’t require live training and feedback can produce some quality professionals, however, given all the training and mentoring of professionals I’ve done, few professionals can get by without observing in person and exhibiting mastery.

2. Request a free consultation before committing. Just as skill levels vary, so do personalities. Nothing replaces a good relationship and connection with a practitioner and it may not be a good option. A quick phone call and brief interaction is usually enough to find out. From time to time I intuitively felt that a client was not the right match for me and I have referred them to other EFT practitioners who I believe would be a better match. As a client, you must be demanding and selective when hiring the right person; it is your prerogative. Ask the doctor what his specialty is. Many states, including Washington, where I practice, do not allow testimonials on websites or in brochures, so asking the professional about their experience could reveal things you wouldn’t necessarily see in their material. This may also be the time to ask what practices they have that could directly affect you, such as cancellation policies, how payments are made, and whether they hold sacred confidentiality.

3. Know that the practitioner is not the healer – your body is. Good EFT practitioners are great detectives looking for all aspects of a problem or challenge, but the real magic happens within your own body. Most practitioners make sure their clients know how to do EFT on their own and empower them to do just that in homework form (that the body can fail/become dysfunctional), it is a true blessing that often translates into a renovation. feeling of optimism.

4. Ask if your practitioner intends to apply EFT alone or if he or she intends to use other modalities. This is a personal choice in that some may want more spiritual or health training in combination with EFT, while others may only want EFT.

5. Many roads lead to Rome. If your intended goal is to work on abundance and the session goes in the direction of exploring your romantic relationship, it’s not because the practitioner hasn’t listened to your concerns, it’s that the issues may be related. We are holographic beings. One area of ​​dysfunction is often related to another. I always tell my students to remember that the problem their customers present is almost never the real one. If they only pay attention to the complaint you present, they will miss out on what could be the key that unlocks the door to your client’s healing. If you’re not sure why the session seems to be going in a different direction and the connection or relevance isn’t clear to you, ask your doctor.

6. Expect many complex topics to require more than one session. Unfortunately, many people have the misconception that EFT works miracles in seconds. There’s a percentage of problems that collapse so quickly that I’m still floored when it happens. However, that is not the norm. Beware of anyone who promises to solve your problem in one session. Nobody has a crystal ball and can give you a guarantee, nobody. If you are experiencing progress along the way, have patience and persistence in reaching your goals.

7. EFT is just as effective over the phone and Skype as it is in person. If you live in an area where you can’t find a quality professional, be open to the possibility of working with someone long distance. In EFTU trainings, we simulate phone sessions so that learners can experience the differences between phone and face-to-face sessions. The differences include the need to be more auditory and intuitively attuned to your clients. Once this skill is learned and practiced, most professionals feel just as competent over the phone as they do in person.

8. Let your doctor know when working with them has produced results! I was walking down the street the other day when I ran into a former customer who said, “You know the problem we worked on years ago hasn’t come back!” This happens a lot. If your doctor helped you and especially if he didn’t, please let him know. A good practitioner welcomes feedback as he is always looking to refine his skills to ensure that he is delivering EFT of the highest quality.

Taking these steps before beginning your healing journey with a professional will go a long way in helping you get the results you want.
