“What is EFT and why are so many people talking about it….?”
EFT is one of the most exciting breakthroughs in therapy and personal development in a long time. It is a new self-treatment tool for anxiety, fears, trauma, physical pain, healing injuries, procrastination, addictions, weight loss and much more. Gentle to use, the basics are easily learnt, making it a wonderful self help tool for most people – both children and adults.
Developed by Gary Craig in the USA, EFT is one of the therapies also known as Energy Psychology, which have been developed from the ancient Chinese meridian energy system. It is a form of emotional acupuncture, but without the needles(!), and is based on the premise that all negative emotions are the result of a disruption in the body’s energy system.
EFT works by clearing the blockage or disruption by tapping on the end points of energy meridians (whilst “tuned in” to the specific issue), which sends pulses of energy to rebalance the body’s energy system. This shifting energy changes the way the brain processes information about a particular issue, rather like rewiring or re-routing the brain’s conditioned response. EFT also works in the same way to release limiting negative thoughts and beliefs that hold us back in life.
The Speed with which it often works –which means fewer therapeutic sessions.
•
Effectiveness – EFT produces highly beneficial lasting results. A newcomer using it can often achieve a 50% success rate whilst very experienced practitioners frequently exceed 85-95%.
•
Do it yourself - Once you have learned this simple technique, you can easily do it on yourself, at any time, in any place, in any situation. This is very empowering for a client and means they can do much to help themselves independently or between therapy sessions.
•
No known negative side effects. On the contrary there are often unexpected positive side-effects as other areas of life not actually being worked on with EFT suddenly improve too!
•
Straightforward and gentle – you can also use this technique to help your family and friends.
•
Children ... easily adapted - even very young children can enjoy the benefits of this marvellous self-help tool.
NB. Whilst not every problem is solved in a single session, these cases are not unusual. When something takes more time to sort out it is usually a fraction of the time required using more more traditional therapy
