“Safety First” When Tapping with Trauma

With Ann Adams

The most important question for an EFT practitioner should always be: How can I make my client feel even safer. In this this free Tapping out of Trauma webinar we interviewed Ann Adams, LCSW. She has over 40 years of experience as a clinical social worker. She has supervised dozens of therapists and staffed thousands of client cases while working in the mental health field. She worked closely with Gary Craig, EFT’s founder, in several EFT projects including serving as the Director of the former EFT Masters Program and was the first American to receive the Training of Trainers certification from EFT International. She co-authored three of the most trusted EFT training course books: the EFT Level 1,2 and 3 Comprehensive Training Resource texts.
