EFT & Coaching

EFT – Emotional Freedom Techniques – is the ideal tool for the professional coach to include in their toolbox. Although I am sure many don’t realise it yet.

In 2002 I went to a coaching convention held in San Francisco and wanted to tell people know about this great and very flexible tool – that was literally “under their noses”. When I arrived at the convention I realised that EFT had simply not been heard of by many of them, so I asked if I could “just have a few minutes to announce or tell people about it. Even a table and a couple of chairs in the Exhibition Hall would suffice.” My request was rejected. “… it was too late to include it as everything had already been planned, organised and was in place… however if you want to show it next year … although, if you use this technique in therapy you CAN’T use it in coaching”. I had already told them that I had, by this time, been using EFT successfully in both my psychotherapy AND my coaching practices.

There was a slight undercurrent of disquiet emanating my way from the two main organisers – both of them left this organisation within 12months to start their own individual coaching practices. I thought “Hmmm, how’s about THAT for conventional thinking, for not thinking outside of the box or being innovative”.

I was very disappointed to say the least. However I did manage to tell a few people about it – sitting around tables during lunch-time and at break-time.

I did not go to their following year’s convention – however they were by that time beginning to introduce coaching self development and using metaphysical techniques – very interesting I thought.

Well, it’s been an interesting journey because since THAT convention, the coaching fraternity has been encouraging coaches to use EFT and other energy psychology techniques. And why? Because they have finally realised that EFT CAN and DOES work AND it’s not only for dealing with ‘past emotional issues’ or ‘healing’. EFT and the other energy psychology techniques work wonderfully-well on our beliefs - the negative ones which we well know can prevent us from moving forwards.

So EFT has now joined NLP as an ‘ok’ technique to use with clients, to help them get over their fear and boundary and barrier issues.

So if you are a coach - be it life, career, parenting, relationship, couples, executive or sports – get to know EFT. And do learn it from a good source – not just from ‘freebie’ downloads off the internet – you just don’t get the full idea of how flexible it can be that way, I should know because that’s how I first learnt EFT. And didn’t learn it correctly until I went on my EFT practitioner training.

So let EFT be your and your client’s flexible friend!

Should you wish to use any of the techniques or procedures described on these pages, you accept full

responsibility for your own emotional, psychological, mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing and health.
