Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

EFT is a form of "psychological acupressure" - an emotional clearing technique that releases any 'stuck' emotions which are preventing a person from moving forward in their lives.

EFT is used by tapping on the energy meridians which are also used in acupuncture. The tapping is done using fingers and no needles are used. It is simple and easy to apply and can be done by the therapist on the client, or by the client on himself, following the therapists instructions. EFT can be used alone or alongside both Cognitive Hypnotherapy and / or NLP.

Physical vitality and peace of mind rely on the clear, balanced flow of these energies. If the energy is disrupted it results in reduced functioning, creativity and potential.

EFT is based upon the fact that the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system. A thought or memory triggers this disruption which is then experienced as a physical or psychological pain.

EFT balances the disrupted energy and so relieves the client of all sorts of long standing issues successfully, time and time again. Once the energy disruption is released, the memories lose their emotional intensity and negative feelings disappear. There is at least an 85% success rate with EFT. Some psychologists consider EFT to be an important breakthrough, often working where nothing else will.

Our thoughts constantly create patterns of energy, which in turn release hormones, chemicals and neurotransmitters. EFT interrupts this chain of events, so preventing the previously expected emotional reaction. The effect of our thoughts can be demonstrated by thinking of something negative, bad or unhappy. Take note of how you are starting to feel. Then do the same with a happy, positive thought and feel the difference.

EFT has been successfully applied to an enormous range of issues from small, niggling difficulties through to PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). The process works just as well for the deep-rooted issues as it does for minor irritations and once all aspects of the problem have been addressed, the results are usually permanent. EFT has also achieved excellent results with many physical conditions but the technique should not be seen as a substitute for appropriate medical care and should always be used in conjunction with medical consultation for these conditions.

Problems that have caused intense distress in the past, sometimes for many years, will disappear. Potential future events which have been causing anxiety will become easy to face. All emotions are felt in the present. EFT can therefore be applied to all emotional issues whether from the past, in the present or in the future.
