Since Feb of 2011 I have had the opportunity to be part of teaching an advanced anger management class to inmates in a local jail. I consistently describe the experience as “the coolest thing in my life.” It has been a really amazing experience and I have learned a lot from it.
I was lucky enough to be Jondi Whitis’ guest for the June episode of “eftTapFest” which is part of EFT Radio On-Line. In the conversation we talk about:
- What I have learned about teaching EFT by teaching it in a Jail
- What I have learned about creating a community to rally in support of one cause
- What I have learned about stretching myself
- What I have learned about crowd funding
Even if you never intend to work with inmates, write a book, or lead a community of support, there is a lot you can learn in this conversation.
Hi Gene, I really enjoyed this podcast, thank you! I listened as I’m currently volunteering as a mentor to female offenders, ‘through the gate’. This involves providing practical support such as taking them to appointments, and sharing a cuppa.
Having had EFT myself last year (which was amazing!), and now enroute to qualifying as a practitioner, I’m interested in ultimately using EFT within prisons. I love this website, and am looking forward to your book!
