ABOUT
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), often referred to as “tapping,” is a therapeutic approach that involves tapping on specific points on the body while focusing on negative emotions or physical sensations. Developed in the 1990s by Gary Craig, EFT is rooted in the principles of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, but without the use of needles.
EFT is believed to work by stimulating the body’s energy meridians, helping to release blockages and restore balance to the energy system. While still being researched, EFT has shown promise in addressing a variety of issues, including anxiety, stress, phobias, pain, and even physical ailments. Proponents claim that it can help individuals process and release traumatic memories, reduce cravings, improve sleep, and enhance overall well-being. EFT is often used as a self-help tool, but it can also be facilitated by a trained practitioner. Its simplicity, accessibility, and potential benefits have made it an increasingly popular alternative therapy for those seeking emotional and physical healing.
