This part of the workshop reviews and expands on the most essential EFT skills and strategies needed to get consistent results with EFT and which are the foundational set of skills that all advanced EFT skills are built and rely on. These include:

• the most effective and proven strategies for bringing up and identifying the various "aspects" or components of an issue;
• how to locate underlying emotionally painful events with greater precision;
• four primary ways to use EFT to work with and resolve painful experiences (such as upsets and trauma);
• several simple actions that significantly improve our results;
• what to do when EFT is slow or doesn’t work;
• educating clients to help them get the most from EFT (when being a client or when self-applying EFT);
• how to assist clients to become "the observer" of their negative feelings, emotions and thoughts, and
• how to maximize results by using EFT with the power of the now.

The advanced EFT skills are the major part of this workshop. This includes:

• artful strategies to get to the Core Issues that underlie “presenting” problems;
• the art of "zeroing in" on Underlying Issues;
• the value and uses of Continuous Tapping;
• when and how to use Imaginary Incidents (such as giving a presentation in the near future);
• the Holistic Method (which shows that EFT works at all levels);
• the Volcano Technique for dealing with suppressed anger;
• tapping on Positives and Opposites;
• observing and using Mental Imagery while tapping;
• using Intuition when doing EFT;
• the use of Exaggeration and Humour in sessions;
• how to use EFT for Performance Issues;
• the value and use of Reframing in EFT sessions;
• the importance of Testing our work and many ways to do it;
• how to open the door to resolving Highly Resistant Issues (such as doggedly persistent issues, fears or phobias), and
• approaches to get to the bottom of and resolve serious Polarity Reversal;
• how to work with disowned Parts of Ourselves;
• how to use EFT to work with and heal a Wounded Inner Child;
• why EFT and the Law of Attraction are best friends; plus,
• advanced methods for resolving the lasting effects of heavy-duty Traumatic Events.
• And more!

• The importance of developing some basic facilitator/counsellor skills.
• What to do if a client becomes seriously overwhelmed during a session.

• Two other energy techniques that complement EFT are learnt on this workshop: An introduction to the Describing Technique and the Permeation Technique. The Emotional Freedom Techniques (plural), along with the Describing Technique and the Permeation Technique, make up a powerful and synergistic set of tools. The Describing and Permeation techniques can be used individually or in combination with EFT. Each of them assists the client to observe, accept and be present with the current feeling, emotion or similar.
• You will also learn the "Describe and Tap technique" where EFT and Describing are used together.
• Also, you will learn the "Tap and Watch" approach where you watch the feeling or sensation while tapping.

• Understanding beliefs: Where our beliefs come from; the roles of beliefs in our lives; how ideas become beliefs; the cycle of a response including the relationship between beliefs and emotions/feelings; the connection between our Beliefs and our Experiences in life.
• Using EFT to work with beliefs: some effective ways to locate limiting or negative beliefs that are causing or contributing to a personal problem; how to trace where a particular belief originally came from and then resolve that (its source, often a particular event); how to use EFT to eliminate attachment to a negative belief and replace it with a more useful (i.e. positive) belief, where appropriate; and how to help a client examine a belief’s "benefits" or payoffs (i.e. how it serves him/her) when this is appropriate (i.e. when he/she is hanging on to it as if it were the crown jewels).

• This section reviews the tools and complementary tools which comprise the "EFT clearing toolkit" and how they can be used in a session to work on a client's personal problems.

This EFT clearing toolkit consists of the various EFT techniques plus a specialized use of EFT with beliefs and the complementary Describing and Permeation Techniques. These tools and EFT work well together.

One of the purposes of this workshop is to teach how these EFT tools can be systematically used to approach, work with and resolve personal issues by using "the right tool at the right time" and having a range of effective tools to choose from. EFT is the brilliant, amazing and golden center-piece of this toolkit.

The clearing toolkit can also be used to help clear the things that come up or are triggered (such as negative thoughts, emotions, feelings, sensations, painful memories or impulses) while using another modality or that manifest while studying something or moving out of one's comfort zone, or similar.
