Emotional Freedom Techniques, more commonly known as “EFT Tapping” is a form of somatic, evidence based energy psychology. It is proven to be effective for everything from very general stress regulation to severe PTSD.
EFT combines acupressure stimulation with aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy and exposure therapy to address a client’s challenges. It is a true blend of ancient, body-based healing practices with modern psychology. The physical act of tapping the body with the fingers on specific points creates an electrical current that calms the brain centers associated with threat and memory. The stimulation reduces stress and cortisol levels while focusing on a particular issue. This allows for the safe release and processing of deeply stored emotional patterns and the reseting of the nervous system.
