Course Description:
Looking to improve your therapy approach?
How often do you review your appointment calendar and start wondering how you’re going to, finally, help a regular client who seems to progress for a while – and then regress?
Each time he/she arrives, you use the same tools and techniques you’ve used for so long – and mostly successfully – but this one client is testing your skills. Now you can begin to integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into your practice – and see improved outcomes.
Researched and developed by the world-renowned researcher, speaker and author Steven Hayes, Ph.D., the ACT is fast becoming the treatment approach that gets to the heart of a therapeutic relationship.
Join ACT expert, trainer, and co-author with Steven Hayes of ACT in Practice, Daniel J. Moran, Ph.D., BCBA-D, for this workshop where you will develop highly practical, evidence-based skills, case conceptualization techniques and powerful strategies that will improve outcomes for the following:
• Anxiety Issues
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
• Mood Disorders
• Substance Abuse
• Anger Management
• Eating Disorders
• Trauma
• Personality Disorders
Attend this intensive, engaging and transformative workshop and start a new path for healing you can use with your most difficult clients.
Conference Objectives:
• Develop a deep understanding of the six core processes of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients advance psychological flexibility.
• Incorporate the role of psychological flexibility in ACT and list clinical techniques for increasing it.
• Utilize acceptance approaches with avoidance problems to strengthen a client’s willingness to have emotions.
• Implement clinical skills for helping clients with defusing from language obstacles.
• Utilize exercises in therapy with clients like contacting the present moment, to aid clients to develop the flexibility to engage in the present moment and let go of their struggles.

• Integrate the ACT into different therapeutic styles and methods as an approach to managing symptoms.
• Create committed action plans for clients with anxiety disorders to improve the level of functioning.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Tapping: Evidence-Based, Mind-Body Treatment Approach to the Anxiety Spectrum Disorders and Pain is organized by PESI HealthCare and will be held on May 24, 2019 at Hilton Burlington, Burlington, Vermont, United States of America.
Target Audience
• Counselors
• Social Workers
• Psychotherapists
• Marriage & Family Therapists
• Nurses
• Addiction Counselors
• Occupational Therapists
• Case Managers
• Other Mental Health Professionals
Course Description:
The anxiety spectrum exemplifies the disorders where emotions override thought. Fragmented memories get stored in the body. The Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) collapse this uncomfortable emotional and physical reactivity; therefore, freeing a path for spontaneous insights and clearer thinking.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a comprehensive mind-body treatment that rapidly desensitizes three areas: unwanted thoughts, emotions and physical reactions. EFT combines physical interventions derived from restorative (self-applied) acupressure theory with cognitive interventions.
EFT is an evidence-based practice with over 100 published studies. One published study demonstrated a 24% decrease in cortisol (stress hormone) level in the EFT group. (Energypsych.org) EFT is effective brief therapy and belongs in every therapist’s toolbox.
Transform your clinical excellence; bring EFT into your practice and treat resistant problems that other methods failed.
This seminar focuses on cutting-edge techniques of EFT to treat the anxiety spectrum disorders, including:
• Phobias
• Generalized Anxiety
• Social Anxiety Disorder diagnoses
• Panic
• OCD
• Acute Traumatic Stress Reactions
These mind-body methods are emerging into mainstream mental health, trauma treatment, coaching, employee assistance programs and sport psychology arenas as a rapid, effective, non-invasive, calming, desensitizing tool. Do not miss this opportunity to learn evidence-based techniques you can use immediately with your clients and improve treatment outcomes.
Course Objectives:
• Explain the origin and efficacy of the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) including peer-reviewed, published research.
• Implement self-applied, light touch or tapping on acupoints to calm and rebalance the body system while thinking about disturbing upsets – to create a desensitize state as measured by continuous dropping of the SUDS level.
• Distinguish that EFT is a mind-body treatment that desensitizes unwanted thoughts, emotions and physical discomfort.
• List exploratory questions to elicit the first or worst defining event and how to treat in all manifestation in the past, present and future.
• Demonstrate EFT techniques for stress, phobias, generalized anxiety disorder and panic and traumatic events.
• Describe how EFT can greatly diminish frustrating OCD compulsions and unwanted habits.
• Utilize a two-prong approach to treating social anxiety: EFT and social skill building.
• Describe why EFT works in conjunction with and beyond talk therapy and how it often cuts quickly through resistant problems.
• Explore working with pain reduction using acupoints and psychological constructs of metaphors and emotions.
• State the ethical concerns of not working outside knowledge base and obtaining ongoing “permission” to use these methods.
