EFT Waste of money?

RE: EFT Waste of money?

I would say that there are lots of different people on this site, all of whom have very different opinions on every theapy under the sun.
What works for one person won't necessarily work for another.

If EFT is of interest to you, take the course.. I have carried out a taster session, it seemed to have powerful effects on other group members, personally I didn't find it beneficial at the time, but who can say it won't work in the future.

Good luck with which ever course you chose.

RE: EFT Waste of money?

EFT is Great. go and enjoy the course.

Hi Lim!
I have only just looked into Freeway CER... well, who knows what the pro's and con's are. I do know that Gary Craig has developed EFT over many years, in a very open and honest way. I am not a certified trainer in EFT, but have delivered intoductory 1/2 dayworkshops, and found that participants got great results and loved the technique. They particularly like the simplicity, and that it worked so immediately. It's definately worth noting the support setsof DVDs by Gary which are very good indeed, and cover a wide topic range (including business issues).

RE: EFT Waste of money?

Different things work for different people, but in my experience of using EFT it is a truly fantastic tool. It can be somewhat difficult to use it on your own, but some areas have EFT practice groups or introductory workshops which can be very worthwhile to join (and the effect of "group energy" on healing canbevery positive too). When done well (and the main challenge is to be very accurate in identifying and naming the issue you are working on) EFT can be astonishing.. Most failures result from being too vagueinidentifying the issue you're working on.Whenan accurate description is found, magic things do happen!

RE: EFT Waste of money?

As someone who has trained in both, here's some facts (as far as facts go!)

EFT and FREEWAY-CER started being developed at around the same time. EFT is very successful and has been promoted well by Gary Craig to give it worldwide appeal. FREEWAY-CER is also very successful but has not been promoted as widely until more recently. One of the reasons for FREEWAY-CER only coming about more recently is that Tom and Bev (the founders of the system) have spent many years researching and refining the techniques to create a system that "works and doesn't need changing" whereas EFT is one of those therapies that has evolved over the years through practitioners using it.

EFT is primarily about dealing with issues through use of the tapping routine, whereas FREEWAY-CER contains more than a tapping routine (such as breathing and techniques, ways to help the client feel calm etc). I've found EFT to be a very good therapy and have used it with many people to help them with their issues, but since doing FREEWAY-CER I've found that this (from my own short experience so far) seems to work moreeffectively and quickly. Also with the FREEWAY-CER training we were given a good background and understanding of things like the Meridian system etc. which wasn't part of EFT as Gary never claimed to understand the technicalities of such workings of humans. He is just an engineer at heart... "do this, do that, do it like that, and it works, don't ask me how exactly, but it does". With FREEWAY-CER it's more of "This is the principle of what the body is doing, and how conditions effect our meridians, and these techniques work in such and such a way to tackle each of these areas" etc.

EFT has been taught in the past so that it can be used with clients in a very flexible way, and you can change and adapt as you see fit and what works best for you. I believe more recent developments are seeing Gary implementing a more structured way of teaching and practicing so that it fits in with the (apparant) need for regulatory bodies for such therapies. With FREEWAY-CER, Tom and Bev have already set in place the structure so that the teaching is only done in a particular way and you only need to treat clients in a particular way (It works so there's no need to change it!). Each practitioner has to undertake casestudies to ensure they are practicing the procedures correctly (don't worry they're not monsterously difficult!) and each will be issued with a numbered certificate and registered with Tom and Bev as a FREEWAY-CER practitioner so any member of the public wanting treatment will know that we are all practicing to the same standards and teachings.

One key difference I can point out is that with EFT you tend to try and get to the root of issues and tackle them from there which, depending on the client and the issue can take some time and/or some chipping away at higher levels. With FREEWAY-CER you don't have to get to the root of the issue to tackle it, you can just work with a recent event for it and it can still take out the whole issue in a lot of cases.

No-one can saythat one is "better" than the other as they are working on different principles and that's like comparing two totally disperate systems, which just can't be done. Anyone who says that EFT doesn't work is lying or they've just never tried it so I wouldn't listen to those people.

Having done both, and I do know that both work, I would personally recommend doing FREEWAY-CER. I think 9 out of 11 people (sounds like a cat food advert :D) on my course had previously done EFT and I can be fairly safe in saying that all of us found FREEWAY-CER to be more to our liking.

Agreed, that applies for both EFT and FREEWAY. It is always important to be specific about the aspects of issues being worked on.

Hi Lim
I practice and use EFT regularlywith familyand clients. I use EFT combined with a number of other techniques and found it to be really beneficial. People like it because they can take it away and use it whenever they want it. It works especially well for children.
I am sure you will enjoy the course, EFTis very practical and can be used in many situations.
regards

RE: EFT Waste of money?

I do both - only just started with Freeway though, I've been using EFT for a few years with brilliant results. It is a lot more complex than EFT, it provides you with many more bits and bobs you can use during treatment to enhance the results. With Freeway, there's so much you can really only touch the surface. EFT is much more widely known.. you're more likely to get clients initially with it.

I'd say stick to EFT as your first dip into the ocean, it's a very simple tool to use - if you want to expand, go on and do your Freeway.

RE: EFT Waste of money?

Hi Lim,

HavingLearned EFT and reading the recent positive posts about Freeway , It lookslike I have made the right decision to attendDez's next Freeway course in September.I am alsopleasently surprised atthe cost of the course it seems excellent value for money.
The course contents covers much more than the EFT course and you dont have to go through various levels at additional costs to become a practitioner.

Maybe I'll see you on the course.

Hi Giles,
That was an interesting post . 9 out of 11 Eft'ers found Freeway more to there liking, Sounds to good to be true and I am even more excited about attending the course..

Love Jaz

RE: EFT Waste of money?

I can't wait either!

As for EFT, I have what I believe is the only London clinic where every therapist also does EFT. We have been open since March this year and are doing very well.

Most of our mind therapy clients ask for hypnosis, as EFT is just starting to get recognition. I can imagine Freeway will be even less well known. Even with referrals, I get asked for "that great hypnotherapy you gave (my friend)"!!

I don't think you are wasting your money learning a technique that is taking the world by storm!

If you are doing EFT for work as a self-employed person, all the courses that follow you working with your first therapy are tax deductible. So you choose whether you pay the taxman or our friend Dez for Freeway, you have to pay it out anyway.

RE: EFT Waste of money?

Anyone who says that EFT doesn't work is lying or they've just never tried it so I wouldn't listen to those people.

I would say if someone says EFT didn't work on them the perhaps it was the therapist that didn't work for them!

In line with other comments about Freeway CER and EFT, I bought the Freeway CER DVD and course set about a year ago and often use certain elements of this when dealing with clients but I rarely stick to just one method...........I go where intuition tells me to and use what I feel I need to.

I've found that many times you explain what you do but it goes in one ear and out the other, they just hear 'tapping' and want to get on with so explaining to them the difference between Freeway and EFT would just complicate matter. If you want to remain dedicated to one set of therapy principles then great but you never quite know where your client will take you during their therapy journey. Therefore good therapists use every tool learnt and at their disposal to deal with whats raised and that might mean swopping from NLP, Freeway or EFT. Its very rare that I will just use EFT with a client, something might be said that I feel requires NLP and I'll use that...

I do normally explain pre-therapy that I do mix a lot of my therapies, some will involve tapping, some will involve closing their eyes and thinking about certain situations whilst we change the construct of the memory and so on, I think this is worth doing to stop the client from saying is this still EFT etc.

My advice is learn what you can, learn everything if you want to.....it only counts to becoming a much better all rounded therapist.

Good Luck.

RE: EFT Waste of money?

Some very ineresting posts here about FREEWAY-CER & EFT, Giles you gave a very good explaination and comparison of both therapies.

Whilst FREEWAY-CER is a complete system of healing FREEWAY-CER also fits in well with and works in conjunction with other forms of therapy including: Hypnotherapy; NLP; Cognitive Forms of Therapy; Psychotherapy; Counselling; and also Healing.

FREEWAY-CER comes to us from the Ancient Wisdom Teachings, adapted for modern day use, utilising ancient knowledge from over 3000 years ago. FREEWAY-CER is more than a tapping routine, it uses ancient Chi Gung methods which have been passed down from the Great Grand Masters, Ancient Ayurvedic methods for a healthy diet which are compatible for each individual's make-up.

Ancient sound healing is also used for specific organs to keep them healthy. Breath control methods for instant relaxation, advanced healing methods which have been used for centuries as well as a unique way of tapping the meridians as well as working directly on an organic level, we even have a very useful way of doing FREEWAY-CER over the phone for long distant clients who can't come to your office or clinic.

FREEWAY-CER is a complete system of healing which works on all levels of our being, during a session we help our client clear personal issues at cause, we do not just chase symptoms, past, present, and future are addressed during a session and we even have a technique that is used at the end of a session to balance and calm the system which leaves the client feeling tranquil and relaxed.

so as you can se FREEWAY-CER is clearly more than a tapping routine and as stated above blends well with other therapies.

Is EFT a waste of money????
no i is not, it has helped many thousands of people worldwide, however FREEWAY-CER IS A COMPLETE system that works on many levels of the body/mind in a balanced way.

I Used to use EFT every day in my clinic and helped many many people, however for me peronally i no longer use it since i found the effectiveness of FREEWAY-CER.

RE: EFT Waste of money?

Thanks for all your great replies folks. I am going to take the course still, as I want to use EFT on myself aswell as clients. I also hear that it works really well with Reiki so I will practice on my Reiki clients.

I think I may do the Freeway Cer course too, maybe the one in January next year. I'll let you know Dez when I am able to book.

Thank You.

Lim.
