"I will return to this book many times, when I need fresh input and inspiration in classical EFT work, and when I gradually feel ready to try more of the advanced patterns of EFT."

The book has two main parts: One, ”Elegance in the EFT Process” and two, ”The advanced patterns of EFT”.

Part one is a profound presentation of all possible aspects of the classic EFT process, down to the most minute detail.

Throughout the discussion, Silvia stresses two aspects: how to make the therapeutic work “elegant” which means easy-flowing and logical, and yet with deep respect for the client and his/her needs and choices. “Flowing with the client preferences” is a typical section heading.

The whole presentation is clear, pedagogic and practical. Yet the style is not dry but personal, engaged, with case vignettes giving life to the theories and concepts. I can easily appreciate that the presentation is not based on reading other’s work but on personal
research, systematic study and experience.

Reading this part gave me many “aha” insights. It will be an invaluable reference in my continuing work with EFT, to increase my level of quality in what Gary Craig calls “the Art of Delivery”.

In part two, Silvia then presents “the advanced patterns” of EFT. Some of these are not new; I have seen them published on Silvia’s website or in email lists and even practised some, such as the “EFT Body Protocol” or “EFT As A Ritual”. Others are brand new to me, such as “Guiding Stars”.

Here Silvia’s style is even more personal, with sharing of experiences which gave new insights and set her on unbeaten tracks. She presents clinical vignettes which at once forever take place in my memory and sum up lots of insights in a snapshot, such as the fat lady with wholesale buckets of strawberry ice cream.

For me as an EFT therapist, also this part is an invaluable reference treasure of more alternatives to help clients and myself find new paths in our lives. I am eager to start experiencing some of the patterns in my own personal work.

Also patterns which I have used rather often, such as proxy EFT, are described here with great clarity and new aspects which will make them even more attractive to use in the future.

I will return to this book many times, when I need fresh input and inspiration in classical EFT work, and when I gradually feel ready to try more of the advanced patterns of EFT.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
Hospital psychiatrist, was probably the first therapist to use EFT in the Swedish official medical system.

SHORT SUMMARY OF REVIEW
The book’s first part is a most thorough overview of classical EFT work, to make it easy flowing and creative. The second part presents in detail some known and several new advanced patterns. They are presented around case stories which in a snapshot sum up lots of insights and set Silvia on unbeaten tracks.

The style is personal and engaged, yet clear and very pedagogic. Silvia Hartmann’s work is built on deep respect for the client’s needs and choices. I will return to this book many times when I need fresh input and inspiration in classical EFT work, and when I gradually feel ready to try more of the advanced patterns of EFT.
