Emotional Freedom Techniques (or EFT) is an emotional healing technique, which is based on the theory that all negative emotions are a disruption in the body's energy system.
Essentially, EFT is a form of "psychological acupressure" except that we don't use needles. The approach relieves symptoms by tapping on various body locations, see diagrams. This tapping balances energy meridians that become disrupted when we think about an emotionally disturbing circumstance. Once balanced, the upset is usually resolved, the memory stays but the emotional charge is gone. Typically the result is lasting and is also accompanied by positive changes in thinking. The technique is easy to learn and ideal for self-help.
EFT has been successfully applied to treat a wide range of emotional problems and issues, including anxiety, fears, phobias, trauma, post traumatic stress disorder, grief, anger, guilt, etc. It has also been applied to enhance performance and improve relationships. We use this therapy approach as part of our behavioral coaching program and we teach this therapy as part of our maintenance program on all the therapy programs we offer for sustained and long term results.
Please Note: Whilst EFT has achieved excellent results with many physical conditions the technique should not be seen as a substitute for appropriate medical care and should always be used in conjunction with medical consultation and intervention for such conditions.
