Clearing with EFT          

eBooklet - "Getting the Most from EFT": My eBook "Getting the Most from EFT" was written to help people get the best results possible when having EFT sessions with an EFT practitioner or applying EFT with themselves. There's a lot written about how to use EFT effectively as a practitioner, but very little on how to be more effective as a client. This booklet was written primarily from the client's perspective and discusses how to contribute to and participate in sessions (or self-applications) more productively. Example: An EFT session is essentially a teamwork activity where both the practitioner and client proactively contribute to and work closely together during the session, even though their roles are different. The third edition of this booklet is currently under revision and nearly ready for publication. The downloadable version costs $10 US. Payment can be made via PayPal (or as otherwise arranged). To order, send Peter an email letting him know that you'd like to purchase a copy.

EFT Certification Program:  There is now an EFT certification program for the Levels 2 and 3 available in Australia, which provides a path to become a certified EFT Practitioner who is internationally recognized as a professional EFT practitioner. Having such a program is long overdue. I am certified by AAMET (the international Association for the Advancement of Meridian Energy Techniques) as an EFT Trainer and a Trainer of Trainers. If you have done Level 2 and/or Level 3 and would like to become certified, contact Peter for the details.

ANNOUNCEMENT: After 10 years in full time practice, I'm taking something like sabbatical leave. My purpose is to move into the next phase of my journey. It started last year with a six week holiday in Europe (which was wonderful!). I am currently (i) actively involved with and supporting an international EFT Association, (ii) updating an eBook and writing 2 new books, (iii) writing a series of articles on EFT for international web sites, (iv) continuing my research and development in using EFT for profound Personal Empowerment, and (v) planning and setting up a program to get EFT trialled and used in a specific government department. PLEASE NOTE: During this time (till around mid next year), I am continuing to run EFT workshops but I wont be taking on any new one-on-one clients and will refer them to other skilled EFT practitioners in Western Australia that I have confidence in (and most of whom were trained and mentored by me). (Updated November 2011).

Powerful EFT Movie: A professional full-length movie on the use of EFT with combat veterans who have been suffering from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) was released in 2011. It is called OPERATION - Emotional Freedom. It's very impressive and shows just what EFT is capable of in this area. Gary thinks that it will be a stunning door opener for the whole EFT field. It is real and professional and shows EFT's amazing potential - close, personal and moving.

Meet me on YouTube: In October 2007, I was a presenter at an EFT Masters' Showcase in Sydney, where six EFT masters from around the world (3 from Australia plus 1 from New Zealand, 1 from the UK and another from Turkey). Each of us gave talks, answered questions and did live EFT sessions with volunteers from the audience of about 100. A five minute excerpt from a talk I gave at that event is now available on YouTube. The section shown is concerned with whether EFT is a therapy or a tool for personal growth. The whole DVD (including a full EFT session) can be purchased by contacting me ($29 AUS). The volunteer for the session asked to speak to the whole audience the next day to say that the benefits she had experienced had been profound. P.S. I don't carry a beard with me these days!

Powerful Book - "EFT and Beyond": The ground-breaking 536-page book "EFT and Beyond – Cutting Edge Techniques for Personal Transformation" is a gold mine of advanced cutting-edge EFT techniques and never before have so many EFT experts (including 22 of the 29 certified EFT Masters worldwide) combined to create a resource of this depth and value. I'm honoured to be one of the authors and my article is called "EFT for Turning Points" which outlines how to use EFT to resolve the long-lasting negative effects of severe traumatic experiences (i.e. turning points for the worse). For more details and how to order it, click here.

Gary Craig's Retirement: Gary Craig, the developer of EFT who turned 70 last year, announced his retirement, which was effective in June 2010. He is handing over the trademarked names "EFT" and "Emotional Freedom Techniques" into the public domain and without conditions. He is giving some things away and letting go of others. He expressed it as "getting out of the way". Tributes came from all over the world from the EFT Master practitioners. For more details, click here. Following his retirement, his EFT web site was shut down in June 2010 and was replaced by a new similar looking web site at www.eftuniverse.com. It is managed by Dawson Church who is the author of the best selling book "The Genie in the Genes", the latest version of which includes research on EFT's effectiveness. The popular EFT Forum discussion groups have been moved to the EFT Master's web site.

My EFT Qualifications: Gary Craig is the founder and developer of the EFT techniques. In January 2007, Gary's "EFT Insights" Newsletter announced that I was officially certified as an EFT Master, the highest EFT credential. More recently, I was also listed as having been awarded EFT Honors certification. I am also a full member of the International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT) and have been granted the status of IICT Approved Training Provider.

My Background and Experience: I was trained and worked as a pastoral counsellor in the 1970's, was a registered marriage celebrant and I trained and supervised other counsellors. I moved on from that period of my life, learnt a lot of valuable lessons and have been involved in emotional clearing and relationship coaching during most of the time since then (in both a full time and part time capacity). I came across EFT in November 2000 and have now been using EFT in my full time practice for over ten years. Click here for more details.

   EFT Sessions and Workshops  

Information on EFT:  The Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) are highly effective emotional clearing techniques. EFT is often called the "tapping technique" or "emotional acupuncture" (but without needles) and is used world-wide by many tens of thousands of people (both professional and lay people) to effectively heal emotional issues and to enhance personal growth. Once learnt, EFT can be easily self-applied.  Click here for a brief introduction to EFT (in PDF format) or here for a more detailed introduction to EFT.  Click here for the introductory EFT information pack (five PDF documents).  Private EFT sessions (in person or by phone) are available as well as EFT Workshops (levels 1 to 3 and beyond).  The EFT Universe web site provides much information, numerous articles and scientific studies on this extraordinary "tapping technique".

SESSIONS: Private (one-on-one) sessions are available for individuals to work on their own personal issues with the assistance of an experienced practitioner. You are facilitated in doing your own inner work to achieve emotional clearing and personal growth. Private sessions may also focus on enhancing performance and expanding one's comfort zones. Also, see private relationship coaching sessions below for couples and individuals. Please note: I am currently on sabbatical leave and, during this time, I will continue to run all my EFT workshops but I wont be taking on any new one-on-one clients and will refer them to other skilled EFT practitioners in Western Australia that I have confidence in (and most of whom were trained and mentored by me).

REFERRALS:  The following skilled professional counsellors and coaches are certified EFT practitioners who were trained by and are endorsed by me. They are: Sylvia Kaval - 9332 8407 (Willetton);  Linda Walters - 9336 7650 (Fremantle);  Barry James - 9401 1659 (Hillarys);  Caroline Crosbie - 0416 154 259 (Leederville);  David O Neill - 0413 743 426 (Vic Park);  Emma Tucek - 0401 698 615 (Joondalup);  Niell Schubert - 9272 3679 (Mt. Lawley);  Yvonne Ducat - 9754 6562 (Busselton).  I also endorse highly experienced EFT master practitioner Rehana Webster who returned to WA from New Zealand a few years ago - 9248 6121 (Ballajura).

WORKSHOPS: The EFT workshops are the Introductory EFT workshop (Level 1, one day), the Foundational EFT workshop (Level 2, two full days), the practitioner Advanced EFT workshop (Level 3, three full days), plus the relatively new breakthrough Personal Empowerment EFT Workshop (two full days).  Click here for a schedule and brief summary of upcoming workshops (Levels 1 to 3 and beyond).  Click on the link to display a diagram (in PDF format) that shows the sequence and relationship of the EFT workshops presented by Peter Graham.

Introductory EFT Workshop (LEVEL 1): The next advertised one-day Introductory EFT Workshop (Level 1) will be held on Sunday, the 26th of February 2012. This hands-on Level 1 workshop costs only $175 and provides a comprehensive and well documented introduction to this amazing technique. All attendees will learn the full EFT tapping technique and will get to do and experience EFT personally a number of times. You can email Peter or contact him on (08) 9487 8363 to book a place or two (or more).

EFT and TFT: I am often asked what the difference is between EFT and, its predecessor, Thought Field Therapy (TFT). EFT evolved out of TFT in the early nineties and has continued to develop and evolve since that time to become the powerful and flexible technique that it is today. EFT is a more elegant and streamlined technique with more flexibility and uses. Click here for a detailed comparison of EFT and TFT.

Foundational EFT Workshop (LEVEL 2): The two-day Level 2 EFT Workshop is a very important emotional clearing workshop that teaches the core EFT techniques, skills and strategies that are needed to consistently get excellent results from this extraordinary technique (with oneself or others). This Level 2 EFT workshop is the most important EFT workshop as all the advanced EFT workshops require and depend on Level 2 skills. The next foundational Level 2 EFT workshop will be held on a Saturday & Sunday, the 17th & 18th of March 2012. Level 2 is suitable for anyone and everyone who wants to learn EFT, including those who will only be self-applying it. The cost is $395 or just $75 if doing it again as a refresher to consolidate and further develop your skills.

Developing Your EFT Skills Further: Having completed both the Level 1 and 2 EFT Workshops is not the end of the road as far as developing your EFT skills is concerned. "EFT" stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques (plural). There are many options and possibilities for further advancing your confidence and skills in using these amazingly useful tools. There is much more to learn about HOW to use EFT and WHAT it can be used for and the potential benefits are vast and open-ended. The Personal Empowerment EFT Workshop, the Matrix Reimprinting EFT Workshop and the Level 3 EFT Workshop are all advanced EFT workshops that have Level 2 as their pre-requisite, because they all are built on and depend on having familiarity with the Level 2 foundational and core skills. These advanced workshops can be done in any order.

Personal Empowerment EFT Workshop: The two-day Personal Empowerment EFT Workshop is the product of years of research and development by EFT master Peter Graham. Click on the link for details. It will be held again on Saturday & Sunday, the 28th and 29th of APRIL 2012 and starts at 10 AM and goes to about 5 PM each day. It is an advanced EFT workshop and the minimum pre-requisite is familiarity with the foundational EFT skills taught on Level 2. It introduces new innovative and empowering ways of using EFT to reclaim your innate power and make measurable progress with persistent and deep-rooted issues. This powerhouse EFT workshop is very suitable for ongoing self-applications and/or for use with others. These approaches require a high level of responsibility, participation and commitment. Note: This workshop is followed by supportive practice sessions to consolidate and further develop confidence in using these techniques. The cost is $425 or an Early Bird Price of just $350 if a deposit of $75 is paid before the 31st of March 2012. It's just $75 if re-doing it for the second or more times.

Advanced EFT Workshop (LEVEL 3): This three-day Advanced EFT Practitioner Workshop (Level 3) will be scheduled when negotiated with applicants. This advanced practitioner level course teaches and completes the set of essential EFT techniques, skills and strategies that professional EFT practitioners need to know. However, this workshop is not just for those who are or will be practitioners. It is also suitable for anyone who is serious about and committed to their own emotional healing and personal growth - afterall, when you self-apply EFT you are your own practitioner and you'll want the best practitioner you can get!  Note: You need to be comfortably familiar with the foundational (Level 2) materials before doing this workshop. The cost is $495 or just $125 if doing it again as a refresher. If you have already done this workshop more than once OR you've also done the Personal Empowerment EFT workshop (in addition to doing Level 3), then it's just $75. The pre-requisite is having done the Level 2 EFT workshop OR you have an equivalent training and/or skill level with experience (including self-taught). This workshop reviews the most essential EFT skills, teaches advanced EFT skills and techniques to a new level of Depth, Effectiveness, Precision, Thoroughness and Healing, and also considerably expands your toolkit. It is followed by a mentoring program to become an accredited EFT practitioner.

Matrix Reimprinting Workshop: The Matrix Reimprinting EFT Workshop was held in September 2011 in PERTH for the first time. It is sure to be held here again next year. The cost was $500.  Matrix Reimprinting (MR) has taken off big time around the world over the last year.  The workshop was presented by Caroline Paulzen, the sister of EFT master Karl Dawson who developed this unique application of EFT.   Karl's comprehensive book entitled "Matrix Reimprinting using EFT" (Hay House Publishers) is now available from the Book Depository in the UK.  In brief (very abbreviated), the MR technique includes imagining doing EFT with a "younger self" or "inner child" (who was disempowered by a specific painful event) plus a following step to effectively empower that younger self.  The pre-requisite for the MR Workshop is Level 2.  Click here for more detailed information on MR.

Workshop with Gary Craig: In November 2005, I attended a four-day EFT Masters workshop in San Francisco with Gary Craig (the developer of the EFT techniques). This was only the third time that this particular course had been held. There were 11 candidates on the course plus about 30 observers. Each of the candidates were required to do at least one live session (in front of those attending and observing) while it was filmed and then critiqued afterwards by Gary. It was an honour to meet Gary Craig and to share this experience with some of the most experienced EFT practitioners in the world. Five of them were from the US, two from Canada, one from the UK, and there were three Australians. I was later awarded an EFT Master's certificate signed by Gary Craig.

Introduction to the Basics of Counselling Course: The Introduction to the Basics of Counselling Course is for those who would like to develop some highly useful counselling skills plus some simple nurturing skills and techniques to be able to help others (such as friends, partners, children, clients, patients, etc.) when they are emotional, stressed or suffering or need some nurturing. This workshop teaches important skills that are especially useful for those who are doing or will be doing EFT with others (but don't have any formal training in coaching or counselling). The date for the next workshop has not yet been determined. Let Peter know if you are interested in doing it. Please note that this introduction to the basics of counselling/coaching is no substitute for doing a formal and certified counselling/coaching training program and it in no way prepares you to work with any individual who has a mental illness.

Relationship Coaching: Private relationship coaching (with individuals or couples and for groups or teams) typically involves developing specific relationship insights, skills and approaches to enhance existing relationships and/or to effectively resolve non-optimum situations, upsets, misunderstandings, disagreements, hurts or issues when they occur. This often requires learning, practicing and applying some new or enhanced relationship skills to heal or enhance a relationship situation. And, remember: "If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you've always gotten." - Jim Rohn. Learn how to take appropriate actions (to replace old "solutions" that only made things worse) and use effective responses (that will make a huge difference). This requires commitment and participation by the person or persons concerned. It is often advisable to also do the Essential Relationship Skills workshops where possible (in a course format or as a streamlined tailor-made version for individuals or couples).  The (non-business) rate for couples or individuals is $145 AUS per session (typically between 1 and 1 & 1/2 hours). The business rate is $185 AUS per hour. A downloadable two-page flier (in PDF format) can be viewed or downloaded by clicking on the link.

The Essential Relationship Skills Course: Parts One and Two of the Essential Relationship Skills Course teach the absolutely essential relationship skills that are needed to maintain, enhance and HEAL relationships (any type of relationship). These are suitable for individuals or couples, groups or teams. You can contact Peter if you are interested in doing the (1 & 1/2 day or 9 hour) Part One workshop which will cost $295 per person (with discounts for couples or groups). Note: Peter also delivers tailor-made versions of this workshop (a series of 1 to 2 hour sessions plus relevant "home work" between them) for couples who need appropriate coaching and training that focuses on and addresses their specific issues. A downloadable two-page flier (in PDF format) can be viewed or downloaded by clicking on the link.

What is Integrative Clearing? The technology of clearing consists of dozens of techniques, processes and methods [such as the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR), the Unblocking procedure, and many others] that can be used to assist individuals to effectively "clear their stuff" such as clear their accumulated emotional pain, negative feelings and emotions, limiting or self-sabotaging beliefs and unresolved upsets and traumas. In this context, the word clearing means eliminating, becoming free of, letting go of, resolving, dissolving, coming to terms with, overcoming or transcending something. The word integrative adds the concept of becoming more whole or integrated as a result of clearing. Clearing is quite different to approaches that only seek to change the way something is being viewed or experienced or to find a way to cope with something or to learn how to manage something (such as anger management) or to reprogram a response or behaviour. In other words, clearing is not a reprogramming activity, but these changes often spontaneously occur as a result of clearing. The clearing mantra is "Why try to solve your problems, when you can dissolve them!"

Purpose of integrative clearing: The purpose of clearing technology can be summed up as energy clearing, emotional clearing, mind clearing and spiritual clearing. This technology has been developed by many individuals around the world to help individuals to eliminate troublesome reactions to things in life, to dissolve accumulated negative emotions and feelings, to significantly reduce stress and find inner peace, to remove limiting or self-defeating beliefs, and to eliminate the lasting effects of painful memories. Suffering and internal conflict are not our natural state. The overall process of clearing is to enable individuals to re-connect with their true self, re-integrate parts of themselves that have been disowned, regain their innate inner strength, and recover their natural abilities and awareness. The aim is to progressively wake up and become more and more conscious, become more able to accept and live life as it is, and to become much more functional in life and relationships. These are not quick fixes. It's a journey of healing, discovery and personal growth.

Nutritional Healing: For a comprehensive and useful resource for dealing with both physical and emotional or mental conditions using a nutritional and environmental approach (instead of drugs), pay a visit to Nutritional Healing by clinical nutritionist Blake Graham (Perth, Western Australia). Blake does both personal and phone consultations. Some emotional or mental problems (anxiety, depression, anger, etc.) may be contributed to or predisposed by nutritional/biochemical deficiencies or imbalances, heavy metals (or other toxins), hormone imbalances, sleep disorders, etc. Nutritional healing complements the work done in clearing technology and in some instances may be essential. There is a gradual movement towards helping to resolve both physical and mental problems with nutritional approaches rather than drugs.

Glyconutrients: Talking about important nutrients, I have been looking into glyconutrients over the last few years. The scientific research on this topic over the last 15 years is extensive and exciting. It has been found that certain carbohydrates perform a wide range of important jobs in our bodies and are not just a source of energy (as originally thought). Certain carbohydrates (just eight of over two hundred naturally occurring simple carbohydrates) play a key role in cell-to-cell communication and are central to immune system activities. Certain "sugars" (known as "saccharides") are big players in preventing infections and diseases and others are involved in regulating conditions such as blood clotting and appetite regulation. And much more. Studies also indicate that certain glyconutrients help to increase mental clarity, improve memory, reduce anxiety and insomnia, reduce ADHD symptoms, and may even help with depression. Click here for an introduction to glyconutrients, the "sugars that heal". There was a full two page article on glyconutrients in Perth's Sunday Times in the "Body and Soul" section on the 29th of October 2006.

Go to the TOP of this page.

Thank you for your interest. The clearing approaches that exist these days have great depth and much to offer and I hope you look into them further and experience them for yourself.

Why try to solve your problems, when you can dissolve them! The ultimate solution to a problem is the dissolution of the problem itself. Then, there is no problem to seek a solution to.
