EFT Certification Testimonials

The EFT and meridian tapping certification from AIHCP has helped numerous professionals find new ways of providing care that leads to long-term wellness for patients. For Ginger Dixon, the course provided the necessary tools to help a dear friend.

 

“My experience with the AIHCP courses and certification process has been outstanding. All my questions were answered promptly and professionally, making me feel well-supported throughout my journey. I sincerely thank everyone involved in creating and facilitating the AIHCP programs. I highly recommend the EFT certification and courses offered by AIHCP. The insightful readings and engaging videos provided a solid foundation and motivated me to explore additional resources.

The certification process was straightforward. The courses increased my safety awareness and helped me better understand how to be observant of both verbal and non-verbal cues during sessions. I learned to use creative techniques to offer genuine support without providing false hope. While there is scientific evidence supporting the healing power of EFT, it’s important to acknowledge that the standard protocol may not always yield immediate results. With the advanced knowledge gained from the courses, I was able to adapt methods tailored to my clients’ specific needs.

In one memorable session, I worked with a dear friend who has high-functioning Asperger’s. He struggled to quantify his emotions, which was a key focus of the course, and felt that nothing had changed. For 45 minutes, we went through various tapping protocols, but his emotional ratings remained the same, often met with a shrug and a simple, “I don’t know.” However, beneath his words, his body language told a different story. I noticed shifts in his posture and deep breaths during certain tapping rounds.

To help him express himself more clearly, I asked him about any tender spots, linking his emotions to physical sensations. It seemed easier for him to assign a numerical value to these physical sensations. After a couple of days, I noticed a positive change in his presenting issue, even though he didn’t believe it was connected to the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). That was okay; my main aim was to help him overcome this challenge. If I had only taken one course, I wouldn’t have had the necessary tools to adapt my approach effectively. I am truly grateful for the experience and plan to take more courses in the future.”
