Hi, I’m Judith Frost, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (MSW, LCSW), therapist and Certified EFT practitioner (EFT-Cert II). I’m here with Ruff, my certified therapy dog and faithful companion.
Nearly eight years ago I came across an incredible technique, Emotional Freedom Techniques
(EFT), for helping people with all kinds of problems including anxiety, weight loss, Post Traumatic Stress (PTSD), physical symptoms and more. To put it simply, even as a specialist in Trauma, I have never before seen such an elegant and powerful way to help people deal with their challenges. In fact, it’s become my number one method to help people solve their difficulties.
I’ve seen problems that could take years to resolve in traditional therapy fully resolve in just a few sessions. I admit I was extremely skeptical in the beginning. So, of course, I had to try it on myself first. Working by myself using a video tape, I totally ERASED a lifelong fear of the dentist in about two hours. Shortly after that I had oral surgery without any fear. This was truly a miracle in my life. I’d been putting the surgery off for years because of my intense fear. And then it was gone. Simply gone!
As a result of that remarkable experience I have worked and studied over the last seven years to learn much more about this phenomenal technique. I have earned the Advanced Practitioner credential (EFT-Adv), and recently earned the new “Cert-II” through EFT founder, Gary Craig. This academic certification is the only official one issued by Gary Craig. I’ve used EFT successfully with literally hundreds of people in workshops, in person and on the phone.
In the last several years I’ve focused on treating people suffering from traumatic events (war, rape, car accidents, etc.,) and post-traumatic stress disorder. I’m designated a Trauma Expert through the National Association of Crisis Management. For the last three years I’ve been a Facilitator with the Returning Warrior Workshops, helping armed forces members and their families readjust to life after deployment.

“EFT offers great healing benefits”. Deepak Chopra, MD, Author of Creating Health
If you love Geneen Roth’s mega-best seller, Women, Food and God, but still find it hard to break out of your old behaviors and limiting beliefs,then this class is for you. In her new book, currently at the top of the Best Seller list, Geneen Roth has unlocked the door for women trapped in the binge/starve cycle. She presents a persuasive case that how you eat actually reflects who you are, and that the solution to your eating problems is staring at you from your dinner plate.
But no matter how wonderful the book,and brilliant the insights, the hard truth is that many women simply cannot consistently follow the Eating Guidelines and other recommendations in the book.
“I’ve had Geneen Roth’s books on my book shelf since the 80’s and I think she’s brilliant, but I could never seem to consistently put her ideas into practice. Today I really want to do the work, but I’m really afraid I won’t be able to follow through yet again.” Kathy Bingham
Enter EFT!
EFT is the revolutionary new healing method that has helped thousandsof people dissolve their limiting beliefs and sabotaging behaviors to achieve their goals in all areas of life, including weight loss. Often called “the greatest innovation in the last 100 years” this simple technique can help you eliminate the limiting beliefs and emotional turmoil that have kept you eating dysfunctionally all these years.
“Whoever said ‘ No Pain, No Gain
‘ obviously did not know
About EFT!”Carol Solomon, PhD
Combine this powerful healing method with Geneen’s clear description of the real problem(not food!), and her Eating Guidelines, and you have the winning combination to solve this problem forever.
If You Are Ready To:
• Get Outof the diet/binge/shame/binge again cycle
• Discoverthe secrets to why you eat the way you do
• Stopemotional eating
• Stopcravings in their tracks
• Feel safeand in control around food, any food…
… This Is the Program for You!
Hi, I’m Judith Frost, MSW,and I have helped a lot of people step out of the diet/binge/shame cycle, including myself!
Diets and “weight loss programs”always promise so much and sound so easy, and seem to work initially. BUT…
Diets always let you down!
Since I first read Geneen Roth’s work 20 years ago,I stopped (alright, almost stopped) the diet/binge cycle I’d been on my whole life. I especially remember the liverwurst and buttermilk diet! Yuk! You can imagine how well that went! Even the sensible diets I was on ended in inevitable weight gain when it was over.
It wasn’t until I found EFT that I was really able to put Geneen’s work into practicein my life. With EFT I was able to finally eliminate the old traumatic experiences and limiting beliefs that kept me eating dysfunctionally.
Don’t get me wrong!I made a lot of progress using Geneen’s Eating Guidelines and meditation alone. But it was still an on-going effort and I never really got comfortable in the presence of food.
But EFT helped me totally erase my cravingsand freed me from the tyranny of food. And I’ve helped my clients do the same.
“EFT is at the forefront of the new healing movement.”
Candace Pert, PhD, Author of Molecules of Emotion
Now Geneen has put her insights together in a new book, Women Food and God. She’s been on Oprah at least twice in recent months talking about her discoveries. Oprah said, with what she’s learned from this book, that she’ll never diet again!
For 30 years Geneen Roth has been teaching that it’s not about the food—ever!She has encouraged women to stop dieting and start paying attention to themselves. She has pointed out that it is the obsession with food, not the food, that makes you eat compulsively.
Still, women often say things l like “I don’t know why I can’t stop eating.”It’s the old beliefs and “tapes” constantly running in the background (what Geneen calls “The Voice”) that keep us locked in old behaviors. She recommends meditation and a method called Inquiry to discover and root out “The Voice” and it’s effects.
But now, using Women, Food and God as our textbook, this new TeleCourse leaps miles ahead to apply the powerful new healing method, EFT, to the book’s life-changing insights.
Recent research supports the use of EFT for weight loss.
Here’s a recent article submitted for a peer-reviewed publication

And as Geneen points out in the book’s subtitle, An Unexpected Path to Almost Everything , it turns out that the things preventing you from having peace with food are also preventing you from finding what she calls the “bright center of your life.”
EFT is uniquely suited to identifying and eliminating the old, negative beliefs that we hold about ourselves, and replacing them with deep self acceptance and confidence. Those limiting beliefs (The Voice) drives our compulsive eating, and by the way, all compulsive behaviors.
About the Course
This will be a Limited Enrollment 8-session TeleCourse, meaning that you will attend the sessions on the telephone. (A local in-person small group option is available in Tacoma, WA.) We will study two chapters of the book per week, and apply EFT to the insights you gain about your own eating behavior. The number of attendees will be capped at 14 to allow individual time during the sessions and for email support.
Because of EFT’s unique feature, Borrowing Benefits, everyone on the call, or listening on the replay, will actually be working on their own specific issues.
Here’s what you will receive:
• Eight90-minute live telephone sessions
• Twohalf-hour live, individual coaching sessions with top-rated EFT Specialist Judith Frost
• Exclusiveaccess to a special website so you can network with other class members, share your insights and successes, and get support and guidance during any slow patches.
• Weeklyassignments and worksheets aimed at helping you master this remarkable healing in your own life
Please Note: You will be asked to stop all diets, eating plans (other than medically necessary) and weight loss programs, formal and informal! Those are distractions from the real work and could result in being less successful with this Program.

Getting Started With Judith Frost
How Can EFT Help Me?
“EFT is a remarkable healing aid…use it on everything!”
—Gary Craig, Founder of EFT
EFT is a form of emotional acupressure, based on the same energy meridians used in traditional acupuncturewhich has been used by Chinese medicine to treat physical and emotional difficulties for thousands of years. It is a safe and effective treatment choice for a large range of common problems. Experienced EFT’ers follow Gary’s advice to “Try it on Everything,” but there are some problems that EFT is especially known for helping, as you can see below.
Weight Loss and Eating Disorders
The most commonly used drug in this country is food. You may use it to calm anxiety and emotional pain, or food may be your loyal friend that never lets you down. EFT can help you heal the deeply held beliefs about yourself that drive those irresistible cravings and compulsive overeating. In addition, EFT is highly effective at helping you integrate a new, more realistic body image before and after weight loss. Once you learn EFT, you have an extremely effective tool to help you manage your weight and prevent weight regain.
Fear of Public Speaking
One of the most dreaded tasks for most people is standing in front of an audience to give a talk. Whether you’re afraid to speak up in a staff meeting or terrified to give a Power Point presentation to a Senate committee, EFT will help you eliminate that paralyzing stage fright that keeps you from stepping out.
Generalized Anxiety and Panic AttacksEFT can reduce or eliminate acute anxiety or panic attacks, generalized anxiety, and performance anxiety, like the fear of public speaking. It doesn’t seem to matter how long you’ve had the problem when it comes to EFT’s effectiveness. Some anxiety disorders dissolve fairly quickly while others are more complicated. Still, with persistence, you can work through the many layers to achieve complete relief.
Specific PhobiasIn addition to reducing panic attacks and generalized anxiety, EFT has an impressive record when it comes to eliminating specific phobias such as claustrophobia, fear of needles, heights, spiders, dogs, etc. I (Judith) was introduced to EFT by eliminating my life-long dental phobia in a single session. As with any serious condition, there’s no way to know in advance whether your problem will be taken care of in a single session or multiple sessions.
CancerEFT may not be able to cure cancer, but it makes living with it a lot easier! Once you’re diagnosed with cancer, if you’re like most people, you live with anxiety and fear that prevents you from enjoying your daytime hours and keeps you awake worrying at night. EFT is highly effective at relieving that “cancer fear” as well as helping you prevent or reduce most of the side effects of cancer treatment including fatigue. EFT is also extremely helpful for loved ones who are struggling to cope with your diagnosis.
Self-Esteem IssuesEFT relieves helps you diminish guilt and shame, which are major components of low self esteem, by targeting the specific events and beliefs underlying these feelings. With EFT treatment you are more able to integrate lessons learned rather than hold onto the unconscious .perception of being “bad.” The destructive, limiting beliefs you hold about yourself (“I’m not worthy, I don’t deserve to succeed, nobody loves me”) that lead to low self-esteem can be transformed with EFT.
Pain Control and Chronic Illness Symptom ReliefEFT is quite helpful in reducing pain and symptoms of physical illness, regardless of the evidence seen in x-rays, MRI’s or blood tests. EFT seems to accelerate the healing process, reduce muscle tension and calm anxiety associated with pain. It is especially useful in healing the painful emotions associated with the chronic illness. EFT success stories include reduction of symptoms associated with migraines, multiple sclerosis, chronic back pain, post-surgical pain, fibromyalgia, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, PMS, allergies, and many more. As with other situations, it seems that EFT can be effective no matter how long the condition has been in place.
Sports PerformanceBoth professional and amateur athletes use EFT to deal with performance anxiety, and eliminate the psychological blocks that get in the way of consistently giving an optimum performance. Athletes refer to this as the “inner game,” which can either enhance or impede performance in any sport. Stress, fears of failure or fear of success can interfere with your performance. EFT can help any athlete improve performance and enjoyment of their sport.
