Emotional Freedom Techniques

EFT, or Emotional Freedom Techniques, is a way of working with the bodies' natural energy system. It is based on the same principles as Acupuncture or Acupressure, a way of working that has been in use for thousands of years. EFT is also based on exciting discoveries about the way the body's energy system works.

The idea behind EFT is that negative events, experiences or memories disrupt the energy system. By focusing on a problem while tapping with the fingers on specific meridian points around the head and upper body, the disruption to the energy system can be resolved and the problem cleared. The technique can also be very effective with physical problems, and any emotional roots or consequences of physical problems. EFT may seem a very simple technique, and it can be used effectively as a self - help tool, but it can also be used in a richly complex way with problems that may be persistent.

I teach most of my clients how to use EFT, it is easy to learn and is an invaluable strategy for helping manage problems as they arise. I find EFT to be a particularly effective way of clearing negative feelings associated with traumatic or painful memories, and with the more complex symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
