About Graig Yarbrough
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can answer questions regarding who you are and how you relate to others. I can show you how negative thoughts and emotions block the real you from showing through. I can show you how to be comfortable with yourself. I can offer you a way of seeing life that puts you in control. I can help you to see the potential that you are. I can not answer questions about what kind of medication or drugs you might need.

Experience
I have been counseling here on AllExperts for over seven years. I have over 100 hours in personal counseling. I have experience in both individual and group counseling. I am an advocate of Energy Psychology and a practitioner of (Emotional Freedom Technique) EFT. I am a practitioner of The Release Technique. I thoroughly enjoy helping other people with the knowledge I have to share!

Education/Credentials
I have a B.A Degree and many hours of self-study. I have about 120 graduate hours in sociology. I was an Equal Opportunity Adviser for the US Army for three years. I am US Army Retired.
I am a graduate of the US Army Primary Leadership Course, Basic Non-commissioned Officers Course, and Advanced Non-commission course. I am a graduate of the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute.

I am a graduate of the Longridge Writer's Group. I am a graduate of Star Power, level 1.
