the Emotional Clearing Facilitator Training
Year Founded: 1998

The Emotional Clearing Facilitator Certification Program is a comprehensive professional training in the Emotional Clearing Process (ECP) developed by John Ruskan. The training is designed for therapists, coaches, healers, bodyworkers, yoga and meditation teachers, counselors, and individuals who feel called to help others with in-depth emotional healing and personal transformation.

Although psychotherapy today is primarily concerned with feelings, it is often confined to an intellectual-cognitive level. ECP provides the therapist with insights and practical training in how to confidently take therapy to the experiential feeling level, where authentic healing takes place.

ECP is an inner-directed approach. The facilitator guides the client into a deep Alpha-State relaxation with eyes closed, similar to a meditative or hypnotic state. By relaxing the conscious mind, subconscious suppressed negativity comes to the surface in the form of feelings and emotions, including traumatic memories, which are then released by means of the process. The therapist is thoroughly trained in how to induce the Alpha-State with the proprietary Emotional Clearing Induction, how to safely evoke core suppressed material, and how to work skillfully with whatever emerges.

ECP is a cutting-edge, feeling-oriented system that stands in stark contrast to left-brain, cognitive therapies. This training develops right-brain, feeling-oriented skills in the practitioner. The system uniquely integrates basic Eastern spiritual principles with classic humanistic Western psychological concepts such as the subconscious, shadow work, and the projection mechanism. Therapists who are not fully conversant with Eastern principles can still effectively employ ECP within a Western psychological framework.

A wide range of trauma, repression, and psychological dysfunction can be addressed with this modality.

The Emotional Clearing Process works in powerful conjunction with other emotionally-based modalities such as EMDR and EFT by giving the therapist a penetrating holistic methodology that does not simply apply techniques mechanically. It can bring emotional depth to other therapeutic approaches such as Reiki, Hypnotherapy, Yoga, Mindfulness, Somatic/Bodywork as well as Cognitive Therapy. ECP combines beautifully with Internal Family Systems, releasing core negativity and trauma associated with any wounded inner “part.”

In order to know if you are compatible with the program, please carefully read John’s books Deep Clearing and/or Emotional Clearing.

 

START WORKING AS AN
EMOTIONAL CLEARING FACILITATOR

This cutting-edge guided inner-process work will become more and more in demand as consciousness is raised about the importance of working with the emotions.

You can arrange your new practice as you need. You may be aiming to make a full-time career change to a humanistic occupation more in line with the journey of self-discovery on which you are traveling. The program will fully support you in this goal.

You may already be a practicing psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, body or energy worker and desire to add this powerful feeling-based modality to your repertoire of skills. You can run individual counseling sessions as well as group sessions. Group sessions work well for Yoga teachers, for example, and will lead to individual counseling requests.

The program accommodates both beginner therapists and those already with a practice. It has been found that working therapists, while already possessing certain skills, need the full program to activate new Right-Brain capacities required for Emotional Clearing practice. These skills may also be applied as an adjunct to other helping professions such as teaching or nursing.

 

A FLEXIBLE SELF-PACED ON-LINE FORMAT

Participants may begin whenever they are ready. The program is organized into eight weekly modules. Participants may follow the suggested 8-week schedule or proceed more slowly if desired. The format allows participants to study carefully, review material as often as necessary, and fully integrate the work while receiving ongoing support throughout the entire training process.

The program is a combination of self-study with pre-recorded instruction, private forum support, and optional live Zoom meetings with John. For each of the 8 weeks, you will receive an on-line module of MP3 audio and MP4 video recordings which can be listened to on-line or downloaded onto a digital playback device. Included are a basic presentation of the week's material by John; demos where John leads you through the techniques so you can experience them as a client; a sample counseling session with a real client; and a video of past Zoom Q&A meetings with John. Also included is the extensive ECF Training Manual which contains detailed explanations of theory, practice, and scripts in a 110 page, 8×11 format.

The 64 Hour training includes:

• A detailed Training Manual with practical procedural guidance and scripts
• 32 hours of recorded audio and video training materials
• Guided experiential exercises and inductions
• Recorded demos of John conducting actual ECP sessions
• Video excerpts from previous Zoom facilitator meetings
• Practice counseling sessions
• Lifetime private Forum support with John
• Lifetime optional monthly live Zoom video meetings with John
• Emotional Clearing Guided Training Program included
• Submission of a recorded client Zoom session for John’s feedback
• Level 1 and Level 2 certification structure
• Preparation for individual or group work
• A PDF certificate suitable for framing as a Certified Emotional Clearing Facilitator

 

PRACTICE SESSIONS

Practice sessions are a key part of the training. In the week after reviewing each module, you will engage in practice sessions to apply what you have learned. Usually, you will aim for a total of 3 sessions minimum per week:

• Session exchanges with other active trainees when available
• Conducting one or more sessions with an 'outside' practice client
• Receiving personal sessions through the EC Guided Training program

Trainees may use the private Forum to connect with other participants who are available for practice session exchanges. It is suggested that trainees receive a minimum of four sessions throughout the training so they can experience ECP first-hand, as a client, as well as work on personal issues. This may be done by exchanging sessions with another trainee and/or utilizing the EC Guided Training.

Session reviews: Upon completion of the program, or anytime thereafter, you will record up to 2 Zoom video sessions of yourself giving an ECP session to a client and submit to John for constructive feedback.

 

APPROXIMATE WEEKLY HOURS BREAKDOWN

• Recorded MP3 audio lecture, manual study and group induction: 2 hrs.
• Recorded MP3 audio counseling session with John and a real client: 1 hr.
• Recorded MP4 Zoom video meeting excerpt: 1 hr.
• Forum participation: up to 1 hr.
• Practice counseling sessions: 3 hrs.

Total time required for the training is estimated at 8 hours per week, for 8 weeks, for a total of 64 hours, plus the optional monthly Zoom meeting if you will be attending.

If you have time, it is suggested you also take advantage of the free EC Podcast, where John has posted 50+ audios that illustrate and clarify the process.

 

SUPPORT AND CONSULTATION

Participants receive lifetime access to the private Emotional Clearing Facilitator Forum. The Forum allows trainees and graduates to carefully compose and post questions, discuss practice sessions, receive feedback from John and other trainees, and share experiences with others in the Emotional Clearing community.

Because Forum discussions remain available, the Forum gradually becomes a growing knowledge base of Emotional Clearing practice, techniques, and case discussion that can be accessed any time in the future.

Optional monthly Facilitator meetings are held on Zoom video. These meetings provide an opportunity for current trainees and graduates to ask questions, discuss cases, and receive live guidance from John, but participation is not required. There is no new material presented in these meetings, so you are not disadvantaged if you are unable to attend because of scheduling or time zones.

The Zoom meeting with John is the first Wednesday of the month at 1 pm Eastern New York time, which allows for USA West Coast as well as European participants. Meeting duration will vary, but will not exceed 2 hrs. The meeting is in English.

 

PERSONAL GROWTH

Trainees are strongly encouraged to maintain a dedicated personal practice at home during the entire internship period. Contact on the Forum with John and other trainees will provide the support that can be vital to maintain the practice and provide feedback for getting past any blocks that may occur. Experiencing a personal practice with such support is invaluable in training, not only for growth, but because the therapist will be acting as the support for clients who will similarly be encouraged to maintain a dedicated personal practice while undergoing counseling.

 

CURRICULUM

The training covers a broad range of advanced theoretical and practical skills:

Module 1: The Emotional Clearing Alpha Induction
Module 2: Foundational Principles; Unconditional Presence; Dialoguing
Module 3: Non-Directive Processing; Types of Feelings; Witnessing
