Once you have rapport and trust with the child the use of EFT with him or her is easy. It is the “getting to the using of EFT” that often is the challenge. There are many very useful ideas and suggestions in this presentation for anyone who wants to use EFT with children.

STORIES ABOUT USING EFT WITH CHILDREN:
1999 was a big year for me. I changed jobs and became the director of a residential treatment program for children, had an exchange student from Poland, I moved, and I attended a Social Worker Conference where I first learned about EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques). Originally skeptical – very skeptical – I decided to look into this unusual sounding technique. I tried it and was surprised at the results. I then studied EFT for months, used it with folks outside of the program and, because I did not want to experiment with the children, I called Gary for references to others using this technique. EFT can be amazingly effective with children.

I wrote stories about my adventures with EFT and the resident children for Gary Craig’s newsletter. He later asked if I would present for his Specialty Series videos about using EFT with children.

I’ve re-edited the heart warming stories from Gary’s old newsletter archives for this blog site.

Meet EFETA
Useless but Interesting Trivia for the kid in all of us.

Did you know that eft is also the name of an immature newt (Salamander) especially the reddish-orange terrestrial form of a North American species, Notophthalmus viridescens. Honest!! From the Old English word: efeta.

NEWT Dr. Lorianne diSabato 2006-08-06.jpgple

In its juvenile stage, which lasts one to four years, this eastern newt acquires a bright orange-red coloration, is highly toxic, and is called a red eft. This newt has the most complex and variable life history of any amphibian. It typically goes through four stages: egg, aquatic larva, eft, and terrestrial adult, returning annually to water to breed. There is much variation and some populations have no eft stage.

I read that and thought, “What? No EFT stage?
What a yucky fate to go through life without EFT! :-)
