*   The Tapas Acupressure Technique is an easy to learn self help process that is profound and life changing.  Developed by Tapas Fleming, an acupuncturist, it utilizes meridians around the eyes and the back of the head to quickly dissolve traumatic stress, emotional pain, and transform negative beliefs.   Patricia utilizes this technique in her psychotherapy work with individuals, couples and families.  She also teaches the technique in a 1 1/2 day workshop which is suitable for anyone over the age of 16 to take.  To learn more about TAT and to see a demonstration, or to try TAT out for yourself, go to http://www.tatlife.com/.

*    Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing utilizes bilateral stimulation in the form of eye movements, alternate tapping or alternate sounds to stimulate the brain to open up to its natural healing capabilities.  EMDR was developed by Francine Shapiro, a psychologist and has been proven to help heal traumatic stress as well as build positive resources.     

*    Thought Field Therapy also utilizes the meridian system of the body to clear stored stuck trauma and stress.  In this technique particular acupressure points are touched or tapped (by the client) in a particular order to relieve the emotional charge attached to the problem. 

*    Emotional Freedom Technique was developed by Gary Craig and it is an easier version of Thought Field Therapy, useful in treating negative disruptions in the emotional body. For more information go to www.emofree.com
