What is EFT? The Emotional Freedom Technique is a brief therapeutic intervention and a self-help tool, sometimes known as “acupuncture without needles” or “tapping therapy”. EFT brings together the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, neuroscience and cognitive-behavioural therapy by combining stimulation of a series of acupressure points with cognitive restructuring (specially worded affirmations), typically leading to shifts in thought patterns and relief from both physical tension and excess negative emotions.
Some of the popular uses of EFT are:
- Eliminating anxiety, fears and phobias
- Reducing addictive cravings
- Relieving physical pains, aches and tension
- Modifying unhelpful and negative beliefs
- Healing past trauma and PTSD
- Relieving chronic and acute depression
- Managing anger, guilt, shame, grief
- Enhancing sports and musical performance
- Day-to-day emotional & stress management
- Improving relationships
- Obesity management
- Healing emotional factors contributing to physical illness
- Enhancing motivation and self-efficacy
- Helping children with fears/anxieties at home and at school
- Animal healing
- and much more……..
Numerous case studies can be found on the main EFT website www.eftuniverse.com, and scientific research is ongoing to verify the efficacy of this therapeutic approach, with some promising results.
