 What is EFT Tapping?

EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a powerful and proven therapeutic approach that blends acupressure and psychological techniques to help you release emotional blockages and reduce stress, anxiety, trauma, and other emotional challenges. It's often referred to as "tapping" because it involves tapping on specific meridian points on the body while focusing on a particular issue or emotional distress.

EFT Tapping is based on the idea that emotional pain and distress are the result of disruptions in the body’s energy system. When we experience emotional stress, anxiety, or trauma, it can cause an imbalance in our body’s energy flow. By gently tapping on certain meridian points on the face and upper body, while focusing on the emotional distress, EFT helps to restore balance to the body’s energy system. This process allows emotional blockages to release and promotes a sense of calm and emotional clarity.

During an EFT session, we focus on the issue at hand, and you will tap on meridian points using your fingertips while speaking or thinking about the negative emotions or thoughts connected to that issue. This simultaneous cognitive focus and physical tapping have been shown to reduce the intensity of the emotional response.

While EFT Tapping is still a relatively new therapeutic modality compared to traditional approaches, research supports its effectiveness in treating a variety of emotional and psychological issues. Studies have shown that tapping can reduce symptoms of anxiety, stress, trauma, and even chronic pain.

• A 2016 meta-analysis published in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease reviewed 20 studies on EFT and concluded that it is effective in treating anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
   
• A 2013 study published in Energy Psychology found that EFT significantly reduced cortisol levels (the stress hormone), which can lead to a reduction in overall stress and anxiety.
   
• Research conducted by Dr. Dawson Church, a leading researcher in the field of EFT, showed that EFT Tapping can result in significant decreases in emotional distress, with participants reporting lasting improvements in mood, stress, and physical well-being. Dr. Church's study also found that the effects of EFT are sustained over time, with improvements continuing after the session ends.
   
• A 2019 study published in Frontiers in Psychology found that EFT Tapping was highly effective in reducing symptoms of PTSD in veterans, with results showing a decrease in emotional distress after just a few sessions.
   

EFT Tapping has shown to offer numerous benefits for emotional, mental, and physical well-being, including:

• Reduction in Anxiety & Stress: One of the most well-known benefits of EFT is its ability to rapidly reduce anxiety and stress. By tapping on specific meridian points while focusing on the source of your anxiety, EFT helps to calm the nervous system and bring a sense of relaxation.
   
• Relief from Trauma & PTSD: EFT Tapping has been shown to be effective for people struggling with trauma, PTSD, and unresolved emotional issues. By addressing the root cause of emotional distress, EFT helps to release the trauma that may be stuck in the body.
   
• Enhanced Emotional Regulation: Many people find that EFT helps them gain better control over their emotions, improving their ability to handle challenges like anger, sadness, or frustration without becoming overwhelmed.
   
• Improved Self-Esteem & Confidence: EFT helps you address underlying negative beliefs and self-doubt that may be holding you back. As you work through these beliefs, many clients report a significant improvement in self-esteem and confidence.
   
• Improved Physical Health: Research has shown that EFT Tapping can reduce physical pain, headaches, and tension by addressing the emotional triggers that contribute to physical symptoms. This makes EFT a valuable tool in pain management and promoting general well-being.
   
• Quick Relief & Long-Lasting Effects: EFT is a fast-acting treatment that can provide relief in just a few minutes. Many clients experience significant improvements in mood and emotional clarity after a single session, and the effects can last long after the tapping session ends.
   

EFT Tapping is a unique and gentle way to address emotional pain, stress, and trauma, offering rapid relief without the need to re-live painful memories or dive deeply into past trauma. It empowers you to take control of your emotional well-being and is suitable for a wide range of issues, including:
