Resources
This page contains
contact and availability information for all the books, manuals and training
materials referenced in The EFT Coach.
It reproduces the "References" section and the "Information and
Training Resources" section exactly so you can easily find the items referenced
in the book. There is some repetition between the two sections since the Information
section gives different sorts of information.
Some books are available as ebooks and in hardcopy - links to both are included
where applicable.
Since the readership is worldwide I include links to both Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk
for all book titles that are listed in both places.
I also include full ISBN and other reference data for those who need or wish
to source the items elsewhere.
If you discover an error on this page before we do (e.g. a link has moved) you

Tip: If you're looking for a particular title mentioned
in the book and can't see it on this page, use the "Find on this page"
command (under the Edit menu in Explorer) and type in one or more keywords.

Information and Training Resources
As EFT spreads, so do the number of practitioners, books, organisations, workshops and trainings all increase. The following therefore cannot be a complete guide to all available resources on EFT. I have limited it to the resources that I have personally used and can vouch for. These offer the reader a safe starting point for their own learning - but you may well come across other good resources yourself.
Exclusion of any organisation, book, person or training resource from this list should not be taken to imply any negative judgement on my part - it simply means that I do not have personal knowledge of it and therefore cannot personally vouch for it.
Emotional Freedom Techniques: The Manual. The original EFT manual, by the developer of EFT Gary Craig. 79 pages, available as a free ebook download from www.emofree.com. An easy to read but thorough starting point for learning how to apply EFT for self-help. Required reading for Gary's CD training course.
EFT QuickStart
manual. My own beginners
manual, 7 pages.
Ebook and Hardcopy:
The
Future Starts Now
Adventures
in EFT. By Silvia Hartmann,
co-founder of the Association for Meridian Therapies. Thorough and easy to read
survey of many different uses for EFT. Suitable for the beginner and practitioner
alike.

Advanced
Patterns of EFT. By Silvia
Hartmann. Aimed at the serious therapist and practitioner, covers deeper therapeutic
uses of EFT. Perhaps optional reading for the EFT Coach, I believe the additional
depth it provides is still useful as training for the serious practitioner in
any context.

to Your Emotions with EFT.

material. Includes subject areas relevant to coaching such as improving performance
and fulfilment. ISBN: 0-9653787-6-4

Probably the cheapest, easiest and most convenient way to learn EFT is to watch it being applied by an expert while they explain what they are doing as they go along. Obtaining CD training provides you with a permanent resource which you can return to again and again, and which you can view at your own pace. I still watch mine years later, and continue to get more out of them every time. They are a crucial bridge between the theory you can read about in books and manuals, and the practice of applying EFT to yourself or others. In my opinion these are a "must buy" whether you want to learn EFT for self-help or as a stepping stone to becoming a practitioner. They are also an excellent and very good value alternative to attending a live workshop.
There are currently four training sets available, with more on the way:
The EFT Course - The Basic Training course covering all the basics and including many case studies on issues such as PTSD, phobias, anxiety etc. Detailed knowledge of this course is a requirement to achieve the EFT Certificate of Completion (EFT-CC) and to take the AMT Practitioner training. Order here.
Steps toward becoming The Ultimate Therapist: Shows other therapists using EFT in combination with their own discipline. While still firmly in "therapy" territory there are glimpses of coaching applications. Detailed knowledge of this course is a requirement to achieve the EFT Advanced certificate (EFT-ADV).
From EFT to the Palace of Possibilities:
Highly relevant to the coaching context. Gary covers
how EFT can be used for issues such as beliefs about money and success, plus
practical ideas for building a practice which uses EFT.
EFT Specialty Series 1: Specialists present the use of EFT for business, addictions/overweight, relationships, se. x. ual trauma and severely emotionally disturbed children. Excellent for expanding and deepening understanding of how EFT can be applied. The relationship coaching section is great viewing for any coaches working in this field.
All the CD courses can be ordered from www.emofree.com, where you can also see much more detailed contents descriptions.
More and more practitioners are running introductory trainings. These vary from a couple of hours for an evening to a whole weekend.
They also vary in focus. Some are straightforward introductions to EFT, while others focus on specific issues such as stress or weight loss.
Many events are listed at:
www.emofree.com - Live Workshops
www.theamt.com - Trainings and Courses
These listings include beginner, intermediate and practitioner events, so check with the organiser before booking.
Alternatively, contact a practitioner in your area and see if they are planning any workshops in the near future. Practitioners also sometimes announce forthcoming workshops on the web discussion forums.
Several organisations run conferences on the subject of Energy Psychology at which you may be able to take introductory trainings, practitioner trainings or specialist seminars. In particular:
· AMT - Association for Meridian Therapies - runs a UK-based summer conference. See: www.theamt.com for details.
· ACEP - Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology - runs conferences in the US and Canada. See: www.energypsych.org for details of upcoming events.
EFT-CC - The Basic EFT Certificate
of Completion. EFT-CC is obtained by sitting an open
book exam in your own time, and is based on the content of "The EFT Course"
(see above). This certificate does not prove competence as a practitioner but
does ensure that the person has thoroughly studied and understood the basic
EFT CD training course. Visit www.eftcertificate.com
for details and to order exam. Completion qualifies someone to be included in
the online practitioner listing.
EFT-ADV - The Advanced EFT Certificate
of Completion. EFT-ADV is obtained by sitting an open
book exam in your own time, and is based on the content of "Steps toward becoming The Ultimate Therapist"
CD course (see above). This certificate does not prove competence
as a practitioner but does ensure that the person has thoroughly studied and
understood the Ultimate Therapist CD training course. Visit www.eftcertificate.com
for details and to order exam.
AMT Practitioner.
This is a formal practitioner training designed and run by the Association for
Meridian Therapies, UK. It assumes an existing high level of familiarity with
the basic EFT protocol either by having attending a introductory training or
having studied the basic EFT training course on CD. The practitioner training
is available either as a two day live event with an approved AMT trainer, or
as a correspondence course, which may be of interest to non-UK people. The training
involves assessment by an AMT trainer, and completion of an open book examination
and includes documentation of case studies with a clients. Successful completion
includes AMT membership and online practitioner listing. Visit www.theamt.com
for details of live and correspondence trainings.
AMT Advanced Practitioner.
This extends the knowledge gained at the basic practitioner training, advanced
variations of EFT, and basic introduction to other meridian therapies such as
TAT, BSFF and EmoTrance. It assumes successful completion of the basic practitioner
training.
Other organisations or individual practitioners
may offer practitioner level trainings in your area. Check what completion gives
you access to in terms of membership, ongoing support and so on, and ensure
it gives you what you want in terms of professional development, before you
sign up.
www.emofree.com - This original EFT website by Gary Craig, the developer of EFT. An excellent resource for beginners and practitioners alike. Gary's original and comprehensive beginner's manual is available for download, along with many case histories in a well organised archive. Also includes international practitioner listing and training materials for those who want to learn EFT more thoroughly. Also available is an excellent email list which you may subscribe to for free, to receive regular case histories and thoughts by Gary.
www.theamt.com - Website of the AMT - Association for Meridian Therapies - UK. As well as practitioner listings, contains articles, bookshop, notice of workshops and trainings. Includes information about many types of meridian-based techniques, not just EFT. Also has many documents for free download.
www.thefuturestartsnow.com - My own website which includes free QuickStart manual. Includes an expanded resource guide for both coaching and EFT, free downloads and a free email newsletter including articles relevant to coaching and EFT. Check here regularly for upcoming workshop dates and events.
www.eft-innovations.com - Dr Patricia Carrington's website which includes articles and information, newsletter signup and links to books and other training materials. It also contains a practitioner listing for people who have achieved EFT-CC.
Many other practitioners
also have their own websites which often contain additional information, training
resources or workshop information.
To get in touch with other people learning and practicing EFT and other energy therapies, you might want to check out the following newsgroups where there are many people willing to answer questions, share experiences and offer support:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MT-newbies - Run by the AMT UK, this a good place to start with basic questions. It is moderated and frequented by trained practitioners who are very willing to answer questions and give advice. Very friendly and positive atmosphere. Not limited to EFT, but also other types of meridian-based techniques.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EmotionalFreedomTechniques - More US focussed but with a large (over 1700) international membership - which makes for varied and interesting discussion. It is moderated (assisted by myself) and is a very friendly group. Membership varies from complete beginners to highly experienced practitioners. It also includes discussion of therapies other than EFT.
Practitioner listings are available on the following websites:
www.theamt.com - This lists mostly UK practitioners, although a few are overseas. All practitioners on this listing are required to have completed the AMT practitioner training in order to be listed. AMT training requires assessment by an AMT trainer and completion of a written exam, including case studies.
www.eftsupport.com - International Practitioner listing. All those listed are required to have achieved EFT-CC (EFT Certificate of Completion) which involves completing Gary Craig's video training program and passing a written examination. Some will also have achieved EFT-ADV which means they have passed an exam based on Gary Craig's "Ultimate Therapist" CD training.
www.emofree.com - International Practitioner listing. Practitioners are asked to declare their level of training, but this is not guaranteed.
There are many EFT practitioners who are not listed in these places. A web search is likely to produce details of other practitioners who may be self-taught or who have taken different forms of practitioner training. Ultimately, you need to assess the competence of a practitioner yourself.
The following resources have been added to this page since the publication of Edition 1 and will be incorporated into future editions.
www.holisticharmony.com - A large resource focussed on a coaching and self-development but integrating EFT and other energy techniques. The prime mover Robert Elias Najemy is a prominent and experienced coach. Of particular interest is his "Holistic Harmony Life Coach" training which explicitly includes use of EFT within the coaching training. Robert has also authored several books, some on EFT.
