When disaster strikes, whether bombings, construction collapses, tsunamis, or earthquakes, therapists are increasingly expected to provide help in a hurry, sometimes administering to thousands of people. In this workshop, you'll learn an effective, efficient, and safe intervention that utilizes energy psychology techniques derived from acupuncture and yoga to provide appropriate levels of care to clients, geared to the time that's elapsed since the disaster and to individual need. While still controversial, this four-tiered system, which begins with immediate relief and stabilization and progressively treats more complex stress reactions and chronic disorders as they appear, has already been successfully applied in the wake of many natural and social disasters all over the world. Note: This workshop doesn't qualify for continuing education for psychologists.
