Event: Nervous System Reset, Guided Stress Relief
EMDR & EFT Tapping, 15 minute group
Scheduled: Mondays 11am PST

Welcome
Please read this, to help with your expectations for the 15 minute free practice group.

Ly-Lan Lofgren, LCSW, will lead you through EMDR and EFT tapping practices to help you return to your most resourced self in order to connect with your goals and other people. This is a welcoming, positive, supportive group; we do not focus on trauma or disturbing material.

This group begins with practice, instead of introductions or explanations, inviting both curious newcomers and seasoned returning "tappers" to simply practice EMDR and EFT. We are coregulating as we build our healthy habit routines. Practice time is only 15 minutes, so we start on time and move through rounds of tapping. After the practice, we stay to socialize.

Please sign on early.

11:00am promptly, Ly-Lan Lofgren, LCSW, will guide you through a few rounds of POSITIVE Focus using an EMDR tool of tapping. This is a brief example https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRpdsdCCT9a/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

And then EFT Tapping.
We will use these tools with only positive thoughts and experiences. We do not use these tools in this brief group setting to address any disturbing material. Healing from trauma is a valuable journey, and not directly addressed in this 15 minute group. This group is just one tool which focuses on rewiring our brains for safety, security and self-nurturing; we do not focus on trauma in this setting.

11:15, Q&A and time to socialize, friendships develop in this space

We also have a WhatsApp group for support & reminders.

The zoom link will be visible after you RSVP.
