Frequently A sked Questions

What is EFT?

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), often referred to as "tapping," is a holistic healing method that combines elements of ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology. It involves gently tapping on specific meridian points on the body while focusing on negative emotions, physical discomfort, or limiting beliefs. This process helps to release emotional blockages, reduce stress, and promote a sense of balance and well-being. EFT is widely used for managing anxiety, overcoming fears, improving self-confidence, and even alleviating physical pain. Its simplicity and effectiveness make it a popular tool for personal growth and emotional healing. Whether you're new to EFT or looking to deepen your practice, it offers a powerful way to support your mental and emotional health.

How Does EFT Work?

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), or "tapping," works by addressing the connection between your emotions, thoughts, and physical body. The process involves tapping with your fingertips on specific meridian points, energy pathways used in traditional Chinese medicine, while focusing on a particular issue, such as stress, fear, or pain (Modern Psychology of Cognitive Therapy, and Exposure Therapy). By doing this, EFT helps to calm the nervous system, reduce the intensity of negative emotions, and rewire the brain's response to triggers. The combination of physical stimulation (tapping) and mental focus helps to release energy blockages and restore balance, allowing you to feel more relaxed and in control. It's a simple yet powerful technique that can be practiced anywhere, making it an accessible tool for emotional and physical well-being.

Is EFT Scientifically Proven?

EFT is an evidence-based therapeutic method, extensively clinically researched, with hundreds of studies supporting its efficacy. Studies have highlighted its effectiveness in reducing anxiety, stress, and even PTSD symptoms. Clinical EFT, the manualized form of the method, has been validated as an “evidence-based” practice using criteria published by the American Psychological Association (APA) Division 12 Task Force on Empirically Validated Therapies.

How Can EFT Help Me?

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), often referred to as "tapping," can help with a wide range of emotional, mental, and even physical challenges. It is commonly used to reduce stress, anxiety, and overwhelm, as well as to address fears, phobias, and limiting beliefs. EFT can also support emotional healing from past traumas, improve self-confidence, and enhance overall emotional well-being. Additionally, some people use EFT to manage physical discomfort, cravings, or performance-related stress in areas like work, sports, or public speaking. By combining gentle tapping on specific acupressure points with focused attention on the issue at hand, EFT helps to restore balance to the body’s energy system, promoting a sense of calm and clarity.
