About the Training:
EFT Core Skills Training offers an in-depth opportunity to develop the core skills essential to the practice of EFT.

The first Core Skills training covers Stage One of EFT (steps one and two), the second covers Stage One of EFT (steps three and four), the third covers Stage Two of EFT (steps five, six, and seven for the withdrawer), and the fourth covers Stage Two of EFT (steps five, six, and seven for the pursuer).
