This two day workshop provides an overview of a brief model of EFT for anxiety and depression. The model adapts EFT for use in contexts (e.g., primary care) where brief interventions are delivered in the context of mild to moderate levels of symptomatic distress. The workshop will provide a summary of EFT and useful tips for working with depression and a variety of anxiety disorders, including generalised anxiety, social anxiety and panic attacks. Day One will focus on depression, looking specifically at how to work therapeutically  with profound hopelessness, numbness/restriction, and withdrawal. Therapeutic strategies aimed at facilitating clients to access and work with emotional experience will be covered. Day Two will focus on working with physiological distress and worrying as manifesting in generalized anxiety, social anxiety and panic attacks. Therapeutic strategies aimed at countering emotional and behavioural avoidance, helping clients let go of control/avoidance and instead engage with experience and situations that they might find scary, as well as strategies for working with clients who want to increase control and avoidance, will be covered.
