 Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
The Emotional Freedom Technique concept was developed in the US
in the 1990’s by Gary Craig, using the principles of Thought Field
Therapy (TFT) discovered by Dr. Roger Callahan. EFT roots are
in acupuncture, kinesiology and psychology. EFT is spreading very
rapidly in the US and in the UK, where the concept is now used
in some specialist areas of the National Health Service.
It has been likened to acupuncture, but without needles, and is
a method of literally tapping into the body’s energy system to
allow emotional issues to be resolved effectively and with astonishing
speed. It is a completely safe, non-invasive procedure.
Using EFT involves 'tuning into' the issue to be worked on and
then tapping on specific acupressure points with your fingers.
For example if you still carry anger towards someone who has hurt
you in the past, you would be asked to think about them, and notice
how you feel. But you do not have to relive past events. You just
have to be aware that the negative feeling is there. After having
EFT you will still retain the memory of the event you were working
on but it will no longer have the emotional intensity that it
had before.

EFT is incredibly effective in helping fears (including fear of
flying), phobias, anxiety, trauma, obsessive-compulsive behaviours,
smoking cessation, weight loss and many other problems. Used in
conjunction with counselling, it offers a valuable additional
tool and many common phobias and fears can be completely eliminated
in a single session.
