>So.... to use EFT effectively, you don't need to be a therapist. OK, so
therapists have lots of tools in their kitbags they can draw on if they get
stuck with EFT - but lots of non-therapists have their own tools, too. I,
for example, have Reiki, a strong knowledge of homoeopathy, Bach flower
remedies, herbs, etc., and I also have BodyTalk and Animal-Links, two other
meridian therapies. I have listening skills, and compassion, learnt over
many years of hard knocks, and as a Samaritan.

I'm not suggesting that people who haven't had any mental health provider
training cannot use EFT effectively.

I'm not even suggesting that someone without any mhp training would not be
perfectly able to cope with the variety of problems that people bring when
you begin to advertise yourself as a meridian therapist; it's all a learning
curve when you get people on medication, people with severe PTSD,
schizophrenics, DID, clinically depressed folk, cancer- and aids patients,
and so on. Training doesn't really prepare for reality LOL!

What I would ask you consider is this. How do you think your levels of
effectiveness would be with clients WITHOUT the Reiki, Samaritans, Herbs,
CHC helpline experience, or, in other words, all the years YOU have been
learning and studying? Can you really presume that everyone who buys the
tapes has spent that much time on their personal learning or had that much
experience?

And when I say that the intro tapes aren't enough for someone who set up in
practise as a meridian therapist, consider if they would be enough for
someone who hasn't done any of this, currently works at a petrol station,
and thinks it would be a nice idea to get into this counselling lark and
make a quick buck.

best,

Silvia
