Talk About EFT

Kristin is an Integrative Therapist who specialises in working with both shame and trauma. She is an Advanced EFT practitioner, a Clinical Hypnotherapist, certified Integrated Healer, and incorporates NLP and Somatic Stress Release into her practice. She is also a former Trustee of EFT International. Although she is based in London, Kristin’s sessions are held online as she works with clients on all continents.

Kristin describes her process of unlearning toxic shame as Shamework and believes that it is the most profound work we will ever do. Sources of shame can include (but are not limited to) trauma; abuse; military service; rape; assault; addiction; affairs; siblings; parental suicide; incarceration; family dysfunction; bullying; not living a traditional lifestyle; being childfree; political beliefs; kink; public shaming; being the child of immigrants; separation from parents at a young age; poverty; religion; sexual orientation; gender; Narcissistic parents; and ancestral/cultural trauma and shame.

Shame is the most viscerally felt emotion; it even has its own physical characteristics called the physiology of shame. When our internalized shame is activated by an external trigger, it often feels like our body shuts down. We experience a freeze-response which can look like brain fog; slouching; the desire to shrink or disappear; averted eye contact; and blushing / facial heat. 

This contractive shut-down response is one of the things that make shame notoriously difficult to confront, even in a healing space. It’s also the reason Kristin believes EFT is the safest and most effective tool to use when working with shame in clients. In this talk Kristin will discuss:

∙        What shame is and what it is not

∙        Why shame is so elusive, even in the therapeutic field

∙        How EFT allows us to safely approach shame

Kristin’s practice is called Yew Tree Integrated Healing and if there are any questions about whether this talk is safe or useful for you, feel free to email her at kristin@yewtreeintegratedhealing.com

How do you find clarity and calm when you have received a cancer diagnosis? Suddenly the world seems upside down, you are in shock and fear, countless information is breaking over you like a tsunami wave. Important decisions need to be made fast, but you struggle to think clearly. In such moments it is vital to have a tool that helps you focus, breathe, and empower yourself.

EFT is such a tool: 

It helps to stabilise an anxious nervous system and allows the thinking brain to function when patients need to speak to health professionals and make difficult decisions.

EFT helps manage daily stresses and fears and allows patients to experience more joyful and carefree moments.

EFT helps manage physical side effects of treatments; pain, nausea, neuropathy, hot flushes. 

EFT helps patients to increase their resilience and trust their body again after the active treatment phase is over.

Bettina is an Integrated Energy Practitioner, Hypnotherapist and EFT Master Trainer. She specialises in supporting women with cancer and long-term debilitating conditions. 

Bettina will give practical examples of working with patients at different stages of the disease. She will talk about some amazing results and consider possibilities and limitations of this work. She’ll also present scientific evidence for the efficacy of EFT for cancer. With this talk she hopes to encourage EFT Practitioners to consider working and volunteering in this field. If more patients, family members, and nurses knew how to tap, the experience to going through cancer treatment could be a very different one for many people.

Kate Chesser is a Hypnotherapist, EFT Practitioner, and Sports Mental Performance Coach. She specialises in helping athletes manage pressure, regulate emotions, build confidence and perform with greater calm and consistency.

Kate has worked with athletes across a range of sports including football, tennis, golf, cricket and basketball from amateur club players, to professionals, to Team GB.  

Most athletes spend their time on the technical, physical and strategic aspects of their game with very little emphasis on their mental game. They know they need to be confident, remain composed, stay positive, focus on the controllable.. but being able to do this in a match when they are highly competitive, want to win, anxiety has already kicked in, everyone is watching and they don’t want to let themselves, their teammates, coaches or parents down is really hard.

Players know they address the anxiety, the frustration, the self doubt that’s preventing them from playing their best.. they just don’t know how.  

Using sport as the entry point, EFT helps address what’s driving their fear, anger, and self doubt.  They get to do the deeper work that’s impacting their performance (it’s rarely about the sport) and they learn how to use EFT in the moment.

Athletes find they not only feel better and play better.. their results improve naturally and they enjoy playing so much more. 

In this talk Kate will discuss:

• How and why emotions such as fear, frustration and self-doubt show up in sport
• How to use EFT to improve confidence, composure, concentration and and consistency 
• Practical examples of using EFT with sports performance issues
