Emotional Freedom Technique
Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT as it is commonly known is a simplified therapeutic approach by Gary Craig in the 1990s, developed from Thought Field Therapy– the work of Dr Roger Callahan.
EFT works on the energy meridians and combines stimulation by tapping on acupressure points with affirmations. EFT can be learnt within a in a short time and is a valuable, practical self-help tool.
EFT also uses some conventional psychological approaches of identifying and acknowledging the issue as well as reframing unhealthy thoughts as well as tapping sequences on the acupressure points and affirmations.
It is believed that when we get sick or unwell, unable to cope with daily challenges and overreact to situations the energy is out of balance in our body. EFT is said to restore that balance in the meridian system in relation to a specific issue.
I often teach clients EFT as a coping tool or strategy in my workshops, retreats and in therapy, as it is a practical tool that anyone can learn and practice on themselves.
One of the limitations if I could call that, is that it is a short-term solution if you have complex issues/problems to work on. Nevertheless, its value cannot be understated.
