“I went into the training with 0 experience. The training was absolutely amazing. Jill answered all of our questions very well and was very patient with us. The guidance documents that she provided us were super helpful and will continue to help me as I go deeper into the practice. The powerpoint slides Jill used were very easy to follow, interesting, and contained only the most important information. After the training, I feel confident in tapping & helping others to learn how to tap. And I am also grateful that Jill was very explicit in helping us to understand the level at which she was teaching us, and what kinds of topics/issues that may arise when we are working with people that we should not try to handle on our own at this stage of our training.”

“I really enjoyed understanding more about how our bodies store trauma and how past & present trauma can manifest as physical pain. I’ve heard a lot about this concept but it was great to really see it in practice. I also really enjoyed how small our group was - it was intimate and I think having a smaller group helped me to feel more comfortable getting more personal with the other trainees.”

FAQ
-
All levels of Tapping experience are welcome. If you’d like to experience EFT/Tapping personally, all participants of the live facilitated training have the option to save 50% on up to three 1:1 tapping sessions with Jill ($375 value).
-
Tapping, otherwise known as the Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT, is a powerful, evidence-based stress-reduction and healing technique. It uses acupressure (aka tapping) on different parts of the face and chest that correspond to some of the same areas used in acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. By tapping on these tapping points, you can induce profound changes in the brain and nervous system, which can help you reach your physical and emotional goals.
-
This ‘Train the Trainer’ workshop will give you the skills to teach basic EFT/Tapping to family, friends, and colleagues in a 1-2 hour workshop setting, or more informally. You’ll learn how to teach the basics of EFT/Tapping, including how to create your own EFT/Tapping sequence and how to structure your EFT/Tapping workshop. You’ll also be able to use this training to start or deepen your own EFT/Tapping practice!
-
Tapping can help manage stress, decrease anxiety and overwhelm, process trauma and PTSD, address self-limiting beliefs, decrease cravings, process difficult emotions, improve (or eliminate!) acute and chronic physical pain, resolve phobias, improve personal and professional relationships, make major life decisions, and more!
-
The short answer: nope! However, the more personal experience you have with tapping, the better you will be at teaching it. Plus, it’s easy, powerful and life-changing, so you’ll feel even better the more you practice. If you practice on a regular basis, you’ll get even more benefits, but a regular/consistent practice is not a requirement.
-
For the live facilitated training, we will record both sessions, so you can watch the recording at a time that works best for you. However, to maximize the live practice sessions and feedback from the course instructor, Dr. Jill Wener, it is highly recommended that you plan to attend both sessions. If you are worried about making the sessions live, you always have the option of starting with the digital on-demand training, which has all of the same core content and bonus materials, as well as all of the CME, and you can watch the videos at times that are more amenable to your schedule.
-
No, but it is a great starting point if you are looking to dive deeper into EFT/Tapping personally or professionally. Becoming an EFT/Tapping practitioner is a much more intensive training that is beyond the scope of this ‘Train the Trainer’ course.
-
Yes! Both the digital/on-demand and the live facilitated options for this training are accredited for 12 hours of CME and CE for doctors, nurses, NP's, PA's, psychologists, physical and occupational therapists, dieticians, social workers, and pharmacists.
-
The independent digital training is available anytime, and it’s self-study, which means you can access the training content at your convenience. It includes the core course curriculum delivered by Dr. Jill, bonus worksheets and tapping sequences, a course workbook, and 12.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s).
The live facilitated bonus training is offered twice per year. It includes access to the digital course, plus 6 hours of live group instruction with Jill, real-time feedback on your tapping skills as you learn, and practice sessions with other course participants. 3 of these hours count towards the required practice sessions to obtain CME for the training. In addition, you get some additional value with free access to Jill’s ‘Tap In: How to Create Your Own Foolproof Tapping Sequence’ online course ($59 value), and a 50% discount on up to three 1:1 tapping sessions with Jill (optional, $375 value).
If you’re still undecided, you can start by registering for the digital training, since there is always the option to upgrade to the live training!
