Pat Ballantyne

She works full time in the NHS with clients who are mostly referred by doctors and other medical professionals. She primarily works with clients who present with issues relating to anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress, panic, phobias, anger, chronic pain, obsessive compulsive disorder, low self-esteem, and chronic fatigue (ME).
Pat learned EFT in 1999 when she trained in Australia with Steve Wells and Dr David Lake. She started using EFT in her work as a counsellor in outback Australia. She returned to the UK in 2003 and got a position with the NHS in 2004. She introduced EFT to her manager who asked her to use an NLP technique, “The Fast Trauma Technique” which was regularly used in the team. Pat suggested a “better” way of dealing with trauma, and positive results with the clients she worked with allowed her to make EFT her primary therapy.
Dr. Phil Mollon
Dr. Phil Mollon: Phil is a psychoanalyst, clinical psychologist, and energy psychotherapist. He has well over 40 years clinical experience, much of it within the British National Health Service. He has taught and lectured widely on a range of topics in psychotherapy, including trauma, dissociation, traumatic memory, narcissism, shame, self psychology, ADHD, EMDR, and energy psychology – and has written many books in these areas. He has been a Board member of ACEP for a number of years and was President of ACEP 2016-2018. He is the developer of Psychoanalytic Energy Psychotherapy [PEP], and its further evolution as Blue Diamond Healing.
In his talk, Phil Mollon will explore the somewhat perplexing research on memory reconsolidation and critically examine popular claims for its relevance in clinical work. We will also explore experientially simple ways of maximising the potential for memory reconsolidation when using EFT and related methods. In addition, we will consider how trauma changes the brain so that the ‘default mode network’ is hijacked by another network that is continually searching for danger – and how we can help to correct this.

"What To Say While Tapping: Effective Use of EFT Language" with Dr. David Feinstein:" with Dr. David Feinstein:
Dr. David Feinstein
It's our pleasure to announce Dr. David Feinstein is leading an additional full-day hands-on workshop on how to create the most effective "EFT Language", Sunday 10th February at the Abbey Centre.
Workshop Description:
One of the most common concerns EFT enthusiasts have about their own skills has to do with the most effective use of language. When they watch master practitioners, they feel duly dazzled – but correspondingly inadequate. Of course, it is more than just the use of language, but also deciding where to focus attention that matters. In this six-hour class, David will dissect the language of a videotaped case, do a live demo that illustrates his wording and decisions at choice points, and then have participants practice in triads as practitioner/client/observer. This course emphasizes practice, experience and lots of discussion and Q/A's.
Optional Sunday Workshop Cost: SOLD OUT
Schedule: 9am-4pm Sunday, February 10, 2018 at the Abbey Centre
