Overview:
Pain contributes to profound mental distress and substance abuse. One-third to one-half of the adult population deals with pain in their life. Pain medications may be as much as 70% of the gateway to the Opioid Abuse Crisis. Learn pain management tools that can be used preventatively and to assist in preventing addiction and relapse.
Pain management historically has been within the realm of clinical practices by using many anxiety-type methods. The Emotional Freedom technique (EFT) Tapping sends a calming signal to the brain to relieve the aroused pain and emotion-sensing amygdala. Prominent traumatologists endorse adding mind-body, cognitive somatic approaches to treatment.
These same approaches have shown to have tremendous benefits for non- medication pain release. Learn EFT tapping and add to them several evidence-based, neurologically informed, mind-body methods to quiet the neurological landscape. This workshop is highly experiential and has the hope of a live demonstration.
Objectives:
- Name at least two psychological or physical health conditions for which EFT has demonstrated efficacy.
- Describe two neuroscience constructs that explain how cognitive somatic methods influence healing and pain release.
- Describe one theorized mechanism of change for EFT.
Course materials are only available to enrolled students.
