Thank you for providing this ane...Dear Julie-Anne,<br /><br />Thank you for providing this anecdote of cross-language training. Unfortunately, my Dutch isn't good enough to understand clients. <br /><br />However, this is not the same EFT as you practice: This is Emotion-Focused Therapy, not the Emotional Freedom Technique. Emotion-Focused Therapy, also known as Process-Experiential Therapy, comes out of the Person-Centred-Experiential therapy tradition, and is a form of humanistic psychotherapy based on deeply listening to and empathizing with the person, in order to help them access and change core maladaptive emotions. It is based on extensive scientific outcome and process research. It is not an energy or thought field or meridian therapy, and is not related to EMDR or acupuncture. <br /><br />I realize that it is very confusing to have two different therapies with the same abbreviation, but our use of EFT goes back to Greenberg & Johnson's research on Emotionally-Focused Therapy for couples in the mid-1980's (see their 1988 book). I appreciate that the Emotional Freedom Technique has a body of practitioners and has become in fact more popular than the EFT that I research and teach. I am also aware that many stuffy psychologist-types has said very unkind things about your EFT, and I hope that EFT practitioners of your persuasion will begin to do systematic scientific research on their work, in order to defend it from these attacks.<br /><br />All the best,<br />RobertRobert Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07298419046974791490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33845660.post-4948481438107693872009-10-05T14:01:27.149-04:002009-10-05T14:01:27.149-04:00Hi Robert

I'm fairly fluent in Dutch ; did my introductory Hypnosis training near Utrecht in 1993 courtesy of the IEP in Nijmegen. I am EFT Trainer and Advanced level EFT Practitioner (trained at EFT Centre, London with Masters Sue Beer and Emma Roberts). Only a few weeks ago I did a session with my husband's nephew who was here on holiday. It was EFT: I spoke English and he spoke Dutch. It went very well and he says he has been busy with his EFT thuiswerk (homework). If there is anything I could do to help you out, please say so.... I came across your work last year already and this is my third visit to your blog - willingly, I might add, to 'hear' what you are doing..<br />kind regards<br />Julie-Anne Mullan (AAMET)<br />www.eftexpertise.co.uk<br />028 43767972Way2GoBirthinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849437228064527284noreply@blogger.com
