"Teaching Tapping/EFT is a passion and a long held dream…..that has come true." 

 

Shira, formerly Susan Harney, MA, was a  Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California for over 20 years. She has recently retired her license from doing therapy.  However, during her extensive career she spent much of it working for various agencies doing social work, and was a supervisor for 11 years working for an agency that provided services to families with high risk youth. Shira also worked in private practice, treating trauma, anger management and did outpatient drug and alcohol counseling, as well as facilitated groups, trainings and taught college classes for 30+ years.  Beginning in 2016, she used EFT extensively in her private practice, and then began training and certifying EFT Practitioners.

My purpose in this life is to support others in their healing and self empowerment.  When I came across Tapping/EFT, in 2006 at a Greg Braden and Bruce Lipton Conference, I knew in that moment I would teach this one day. You know how sometimes you just have a “knowing”, well that was one of those moments.  I knew this was a powerful healing tool that was missing in the mental health field and in my own healing journey.

 

At that time I purchased  nearly all of Gary Craig’s DVDs and studied the material, as well as practiced on myself and friends.  I was surprised at how quickly it worked!  Tapping/EFT has absolutely contributed to my overall health and well being, as well as my clients, which is why I want to get this tool into as many lives as I can!

 

​ I believe traditional psychotherapy is changing for the better with the development of these Energy Psychology tools like Tapping/EFT and EMDR, clients will no longer need to spend years working on trauma.  Another great benefit of this tool, is clients can use it on their own outside of treatment.  You can’t get more empowering than that!
