Conference Workshop Levels
Workshop Level: Introductory (new to energy psychology)
Workshops labeled Introductory teach the basics. This level is for those who are new to energy psychology. If you are new to the field, we strongly recommend attending these learning labs, as they have been specially designed for all professionals who are new to energy psychology. These are A1, B1, C1, D1 and E1.
Workshop Level: All
Workshops labeled All presuppose a basic knowledge of energy psychology, but do not require a great deal of energy psychology exposure/experience to understand. For example, an All workshop focused on meridian tapping and eating disorders might teach the basic EFT recipe as well as the specific application to the issues presented with eating disorders.
Workshop Level: Intermediate-Advanced
Workshops labeled Intermediate-Advanced presuppose considerable knowledge and experience with energy psychology. For example, an Intermediate-Advanced workshop on the use of EFT with eating disorders would not teach the basic EFT recipe. It would assume that the attendee knows this information and would focus more on the specific application to the issues presented with eating disorders.
