This year I decided that what I really like best when it comes to mentoring groups is the
“Closed Group” format, introduced to me by my own mentor Craig Weiner.
Unlike the “Open Group” format, where you have different people popping in each time, in
a closed group, it’s the same participants showing up every month, to share and learn and
grow their EFT knowledge, skills and businesses together.
This is what I prefer to be a part of as a mentee, and this what I prefer to provide as a
mentor.
This year I created two Trauma Focused Closed Mentoring Groups and invited people I
thought might be interested, many of whom had participated in my Sexual Trauma Closed
mentoring groups. These mentoring groups have a maximum of 8 participants, as most are
certified practitioners and those are the rules with EFT International.
So, it’s a small group and there is a lovely feeling of intimacy, a rapport and comradery that
develops as a result. Each person can identify ways in which they need support and are able
to receive it. I set each person up with a swap partner in the group and got everyone to
identify one limiting belief that they feel is the result of some trauma in their life, which they
feel is getting in the way of them being where they want to be in their EFT business.
They give it a VOC rating VOC stands for “Validity of Cognition” – which means “How true
does this feel now?”.
It might be something like “It’s not safe for me to be seen” and in the beginning that might
feel 90% true. But each month when we get together and check on our progress, that
number drops and drops. And we have witnessed some amazing blossoming unfold for
some people.
Now as we approach the end of the year, some participants have had such great progress
on their goals that they have had to choose new goals and new VOC statements to focus on.
It has been delightful to watch some very supportive relationships form between the
women in the groups.
Those groups will all be offered the option to continue with the same people in 2023.
