What is Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)?

Emotional Freedom Technique is a technique derived from Thought Field Therapy™ work by Dr. Roger Callahan. It is an advanced therapy which acts to eliminate negative emotions by balancing the body’s energy system. In essence, EFT is an emotional form of acupuncture - without the needles!

Instead, certain meridian energy points are stimulated by tapping with the fingertips while the client is "tuned in" to the problem.

Einstein was on to something

Although the exact mechanisms which cause Emotional Freedom Technique to work are debatable, there is no denying that it provides a powerful and advanced mechanism for resolving issues. The core assumption is that the body is made of energy - something which the eastern cultures have long accepted, but which we have been slow to grasp in the West. This is despite Einstein's discovery in the 1920's that all matter, including the human body, is composed of energy (E=Mc²). EFT takes this idea further.

Tapping into the problem

With Emotional Freedom Technique, the client is first asked to think about and focus on their particular problem - this could be, for example, an anxiety state, a phobia, a trauma, a loss, or a feeling of anger or of guilt. They are then asked to quantify their feelings on a scale of 1 to 10, with a 10 representing maximum distress. Next, they are asked to tap specific places (energy points) on their body.

Following the tapping process, the client is asked to think about their problem as clearly and as negatively as possible again. Often the client reports that they cannot do so at all, or reports a much lower level.

EFT compliments and enhances hypnotherapy and NLP approaches, and clients find it easy to learn to use in their day to day life. Although the technique can seem a little strange at first, it is rapidly becoming accepted as a powerful tool to aid in the treatment of many stress and trauma related issues. Paul McKenna featured TFT in his recent television series 'I can change your life', when he used it to help a client handle Tourets syndrome, and it is now the number one choice of trauma treatment in Kosovo.
