Clinical EFT for Eating Issues and Disorders: Specialty Workshop

with Dr Peta Stapleton

This specialty training is designed for EFT practitioners who want to deepen their clinical skill in working with eating issues, disordered eating patterns, and weight-related struggles.

Drawing on over 25 years of private practice as a clinical and health psychologist specialising in eating and weight concerns, this training integrates Clinical EFT with insights from clinical research, including weight-related intervention trials. Participants will learn how to move beyond surface-level symptom work to address the various drivers that maintain problematic eating patterns.

The training focuses on the nuanced application of EFT with issues such as emotional eating, binge patterns, body shame, restriction cycles, and long-standing weight struggles. Particular attention is given to the complex psychological dynamics that often underpin eating issues, including trauma, attachment patterns, nervous system regulation, identity, and self-worth.

Through case examples, clinical frameworks, and practitioner practice, participants will develop greater confidence in:

• Conceptualising eating issues 

• Identifying and working with the core emotional drivers behind eating behaviours

• Addressing shame, self-criticism, and body-based distress

• Navigating resistance, relapse patterns, and entrenched coping strategies

• Applying trauma-informed EFT approaches safely and effectively

This training is intended for practitioners already trained in EFT who wish to expand their competence and clinical confidence when working with eating-related concerns in practice.
