Wouldn't you like to have a permanent solution for your weight problems?

Are you tired of struggling year after year and only making temporary, if any progress, only to repeat the process over and over again?

Well, finally we have learned of an effective technique that can provide a permanent solution for your struggles.

Our chief therapist, Jody Stevens, will be conducting an introductory four hour workshop on June 8. She will be using the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to resolve the emotional cause of the problem.

Jody has helped many dozens of people in our center to develop a healthy relationship with their eating.

This Workshop Will be Limited to 50 People

The space that we have limits us to only accepting 50 people for this class.

Addictive Cravings

EFT is profoundly effective for food cravings. It was the initial reason why I brought EFT into my clinic. When my three therapists and I first started learning this, we relieved their long time chocolate and coffee addictions in one treatment. Four months later, the cravings are still gone.

I have also used it for the new patients who come to the office so they can follow the eating plan that is required for all persons to commit to before they are accepted into our office.

This technique has radically improved our new patients' ability to follow the program and actually return for their one-month follow-up. Prior to EFT we had a much higher percentage of patients who did not return, as they were embarrassed or ashamed that they could not follow the program.

Addictive behaviors are ways to temporarily tranquilize unresolved emotional feelings. This is the foundational idea behind EFT's ability to address the true cause of an addiction. This discussion is a "must see" for those serious about getting beyond addictions.

After session one, you will have:

• A brief overview of the treatment/background of energy medicine
• Learned the EFT treatment points and how to apply them to yourself
• Learned to treat for psychological reversal
• Learned to treat food cravings and treat your underlying emotions as well
• Set up positive affirmations, and more.

Other subsequent sessions will cover:

• Unconscious resistance to change
• Issues in the here and now that impact food choices
• Issues from the past which impact food choices
• Resolution of guilt and shame/fear and anger
• Body Image work
• Increasing motivation to create the life you want
• Increasing self-esteem
• Issues which may impact the future
• Becoming comfortable "outside the comfort zone"
• Putting uncomfortable emotions to work for you.
