Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
What is EFT?
The Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT, was developed in the
mid-1990s by Gary Craig. EFT has grown into a revolutionary healing
aid, used by traditional therapists, medical professionals and
alternative healers. It has been used effectively, and sometimes
almost instantaneously, on hundreds of emotional, physical, and
performance issues, and often works where nothing else will.
Examples of cases in which EFT has been used effectively include:
pain management, addictions, headaches, fear of flying, panic attacks,
emotional traumas, and sports performance.
EFT is basically a do-it-yourself acupuncture technique without the needles. Using two fingers (index and
middle), EFT allows a person to discharge negative energy by physically tapping the body's pressure
points on the hands, wrists and face.
How does EFT work?
Have you ever heard someone say "I think angry" or "I think stress"? Of course not! That's because we feel
anger, stress, and all other negative emotions as tension in our bodies. This tension can create very real
physical changes, and block the body's natural flow of healing energy. Quite often, people are aware of the
events or memories that trigger emotional discomfort in their lives, but they have not yet connected those
memories to the symptoms of disease in their bodies. Using EFT, it is possible to revisit the event(s) in
question, and unblock the "stuck" energy in our bodies. Properly done, both emotional anguish and the
physical symptoms often subside.
A simple way to explain how the EFT strategies work is to use the analogy of a circuit breaker in your
kitchen. Once the circuit is over-powered you cannot turn the lights on or get the refrigerator to cool until the
circuit breaker has been reset. EFT resets the circuits in a person’s body and mind. It is designed to
address the physiology of the body, and it releases mental, emotional, mechanical and physical blocks -
and it works quickly.
How many sessions will it take?
EFT can often resolve issues in 1 or 2 sessions that would take months or even years of talk therapy.
