What is EFT?

​

​

​

EFT, also known as tapping therapy, involves tapping on specific acupressure points on the body while focusing on a specific issue or problem. The technique is based on the belief that emotional distress is caused by disruptions in the body’s energy system. By tapping on these points, EFT aims to restore balance to the energy system and alleviate emotional and psychological distress.

EFT can be used to address a wide range of issues, including anxiety, phobias, trauma, insomnia, weight management, and self-love. EFT practitioners work with clients to identify the underlying emotional issues contributing to their challenges and guide them through the tapping process to release and resolve these issues.

​

The Benefits of EFT

EFT offers several benefits for both clients and practitioners. Some of the key benefits include:

• Efficacy: EFT has been found to be effective in reducing symptoms of anxiety, phobias, trauma, and other emotional challenges. Research studies have shown promising results, with individuals experiencing significant improvements in their emotional well-being.

• Versatility: EFT can be applied to various areas of life, including personal development, relationships, career, and health. It can be used as a standalone therapy or integrated with other therapeutic approaches to enhance the results.

• Self-empowerment: EFT equips individuals with a self-help tool that they can use independently to manage their emotions and address challenges as they arise. This empowers individuals to take an active role in their emotional well-being.

• Non-invasiveness: EFT is a non-invasive technique that does not require the use of medication or invasive procedures. It provides a gentle and safe approach to addressing emotional issues.

EFT for Phobias

Phobias can have a significant impact on a person’s daily life, causing distress and limiting their ability to engage in certain activities. Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) has emerged as an effective approach for addressing phobias and providing relief. In this section, we will explore the causes and symptoms of phobias, how EFT can help, and share some case studies showcasing the success of EFT in treating phobias.

Phobias: Causes and Symptoms

Phobias are characterized by an intense and irrational fear of specific objects, situations, or activities. They often develop due to a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Common phobias include fear of heights (acrophobia), fear of spiders (arachnophobia), and fear of flying (aviophobia), among others.

Symptoms of phobias can vary from mild to severe and may include rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, sweating, tremblin g, and a strong desire to avoid the feared stimulus. Phobias can significantly impact a person’s quality of life, making it difficult for them to engage in everyday activities or pursue their goals.

How EFT Can Help with Phobias

EFT, also known as tapping, is a therapeutic technique that combines elements of acupuncture and psychology. It involves tapping on specific acupressure points on the body while focusing on the emotional and physical sensations associated with the phobia. This process aims to rebalance the body’s energy system and alleviate negative emotions.

EFT can help with phobias by targeting the underlying emotional distress and disrupting the conditioned fear response. By tapping on the acupressure points, individuals can release the emotional intensity associated with the phobia, leading to a reduction in fear and anxiety. In practice this is often very fast and effective and oftrn lifelong Phobias disappear within just a few minutes of Tapping, amazingly never to return.

A  RECENT RESEARCH STUDY

Reduce Anxiety in Under 10 Minutes

Brain scans confirm 76% of patients treated with EFT experienced complete remissionThis study included an inspection of brain changes after treatment for anxiety. It was the first EFT Tapping study to do so and used pre- and post-treatment functional brain imaging (through computerized EEG, evoked potentials, and topographic mapping). The brain scans show a shift toward normal levels of brain activity in patients treated with acupoint (EFT). The images shift from red (highly dysfunctional waves) to blue (calmer state), and this corresponded with a decrease in the frequency and intensity of anxiety symptoms. Patients who received CBT with medication also showed similar changes in their scans, but they took a longer treatment time to achieve this. After 1 year, CBT patients’ scans were more likely to have returned to their higher, pretreatment levels than the acupoint (EFT) patients. The EFT patients were more likely to maintain their improved state of lessened anxiety.
