Have you ever felt uncertain or overwhelmed when implementing the EFT model? If so, you are in good company. This training will help you to experience EFT concepts from within, using mindfulness and yoga techniques. EFT is a model that is most effective when the therapist can experience the EFT concepts within themselves first. You will cultivate the ability to be more grounded, present and compassionate. Through the practice of mindfulness yoga, you will grow your mental and emotional stamina, learn to truly slow down, be attuned, demonstrate emotional flexibility, co-regulate, listen generously, connect with and fully embrace your own voice. It will help you to embrace whatever arises within your own mind, body and soul, in such a way that you can be skillfully at ease with your client. We will discuss some of the unconscious systemic racism which has resulted in the lack of diversity in mindfulness, yoga and EFT communities. We offer embodied practices which will expand our capacity to welcome conversations about race in the therapeutic space. A resource list will be provided for participants.

3 NBCC approved CE hours.

• Reduce one’s overall arousal and emotional reactivity.

A graduate of UNC Chapel Hill (B.A. Psychology) and Wake Forest University (M.A. Counseling), Sarah has been a yoga teacher for two decades, facilitating public classes, workshops, teacher trainings, and retreats. Yoga helps her stay present and grounded in the therapy room. She deeply resonates with EFT, particularly the emphasis on slowing down to unpack and organize emotion.

She is passionate about helping to destigmatize mental health, especially in the Black community. Sarah understands the importance of mindfulness in her sessions, and has experienced the power of present moment awareness within the framework of the EFT model.

Sarah and Sarah have found much joy in their shared revelations of the relationship between their practice of therapy in the EFT model and their practice of yoga and mindfulness. They are excited to share some of their lived experience and tools for remaining present in the face of triggers and challenges within the therapy room and beyond.
