MODULE 3: Emotional Release Therapy & Holistic Coaching
Bodyworkers often talk about the emotional release their clients have during a session. We take this a step further at Osteo-Tam as we believe that releasing the emotional blockage connected to the illness, injury, pain, is a necessary part of healing. Emotional Release Healing involves not only being able to counsel your client through their emotional challenges but learning how to free yourself from the energy before the next visit. It is also important to develop a sensibility, empathic ability to help you connect with your clients quickly and naturally. This course will teach you how to define your intuitive strengths and work with your client’s emotional release. Emotional Release Therapy “ERT” includes learning how to recognize and transform this release and then communicating with the owner what has been released. If you are already empathic, you will learn how to develop and control these abilities.
