[CANCELED] Using Energy Psychology to Treat Trauma

Presented by Robert Schwarz, PsyD, DCEP on 01-15-2016 at 9 a.m. Pacific (noon Eastern) to 11 a.m. Pacific (2 p.m. Eastern)

When people are traumatized and become immobile, or have an overwhelming affect, can you aid them in resolving the issue in a few minutes? Energy psychology (EP) techniques are easy to learn, evidenced-based approaches. They are used for everything from test anxiety among students to PTSD in veterans to survivors of genocide in Rwanda.

Learn how to integrate this “power therapy” with your current methods to regulate emotional over-arousal and escalating patterns of reactivity while creating greater personal empowerment. Discover how to actually remove the traumatic energy and emotions from traumatic events. Doing so facilitates insight, mindfulness, and posttraumatic growth.

Dr. Schwarz will present this web conference from a deeply integrative view, both in terms of mind-body approaches as well as different types of psychotherapy. He will cover the growing body of research behind energy psychology.

  • Discover how energy psychology fits within a resource-based model of psychotherapy.
  • Learn specific EP tools for clients or yourself to rapidly become calm and process any negative event.
  • Discover how EP techniques can be used both for symptomatic affect regulation and/or as a complete trauma resolution process.

You will recognize how EP can be integrated with mindfulness to enhance therapist presence and client presence and how to apply EP approaches with couples and families. You will understand how to use tapping, or Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), with PTSD and other difficult conditions and to integrate EP into your practice from an interpersonal neurobiology perspective.

This intermediate, instructional level web conference is designed to help clinicians:

  1. Identify the four major steps in the basic EFT protocol.
  2. Explain at least two ways that EP approaches differ when using them as a palliative affect regulation approach versus a trauma treatment approach.
  3. Describe at least one way that EP approaches can be used in each of the three phases of trauma treatment.
  4. List at least two research-based studies that support the use of EFT for trauma treatment.
  5. Discover at least two ways energy psychology approaches fit into an interpersonal neurobiology frame of treatment.
