Emotional Freedom Technique
Therapists who provide this service: Roma Gordon
EFT is described as 'Acupuncture without the needles'. It is a technique that uses tapping with your fingertips, on acupressure points of the face, body and hands, to alleviate problems of pain, fear, phobias, addictions and more.
How does EFT work?
The basic theory is that 'the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system'. When we experience an emotional upset, an accident or any of a number of incidents, the memory is stored in the subconscious mind. Remembering the incident, or experiencing a similar situation will trigger the memory and the emotional charge attached to it. EFT works by releasing the emotion attached to the experience and relieving the symptoms. It doesn't change the memory but rather the way you feel about it.
EFT has been successfully applied to treat a wide range of emotional problems and issues:
- Addictive Cravings
- Anxieties and Panic Attacks
- Allergies
- Anger
- Compulsions and Obsessions
- Enhance Performance
- Fears and Phobias
- Grief
- Insomnia
- Pain Management
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
- Relationships
- Weight Loss
- and many more
EFT is a simple and effective tapping and talking therapy, in which the client focuses on the pain or problem while the tapping takes place. Although it may seem an unusual treatment, relief from problems and conditions can often be obtained in one or two sessions and sometimes in moments. The advantage of this therapy is that the technique is easy to learn and can be taught to clients for their continuing use once the sessions have finished.
