Emotional Freedom Techniques - EFT
Tap your self in to emotional freedom
This is a body-energy technique that has profound psychological effects in the exciting new field of Energy Psychology.
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. This tapping balances energy meridians that become disrupted when we think about or experience 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 and guilt. It has also been applied to enhance performance and improve relationships.
Using EFT, many problems can be resolved very quickly and most general anxiety-based problems respond to the technique in from 1 to 4 sessions. Other problems may require persistence over a number of sessions with the client doing the tapping at home on a daily basis. This persistence frequently results in complete relief - although results with addictions and depression are often less spectacular.
EFT can be helpful for many of the negative emotions related to many different conditions experienced by our clients.
EFT does not require extensive verbal skills, emotional expressiveness or experience of psychotherapeutic processes. Since EFT works physiologically it can be useful for neurological as well as emotional conditions. EFT is very safe, it either works or it doesn’t and it does not make conditions worse. The technique allows clients to manage their own emotions and, with adequate training and practice, this can give lasting freedom, autonomy and self control. It appears to be effective 90% of the time. Sometimes the results are almost magical!
Does it last?
EFT seems to produce permanent effects for many conditions. If a condition returns, repeated EFT sessions will usually release the condition and treating all "aspects" of the problem stabilises the results.
Consumer Guidance:
EFT provides impressive results for most people but there is no guarantee it will achieve your goals or be as painless as it is for others. It is recommended that you consult your GP regarding the use of Complementary therapies. These techniques are used to minimise pain. These techniques are not a substitute for medical treatment.
As Gary Craig, Pioneer of EFT Says “Try It on Everything” YOU have nothing to loose and it doesn’t hurt!
