Emotional Freedom Technique

EFT is more than just a wellness trend — it’s supported by a growing body of scientific research. Studies have shown that EFT can significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety, PTSD, depression, and stress, with some research indicating measurable changes in cortisol levels and brain activity.

EFT bridges the gap between mind and body — helping you feel safe, grounded, and empowered in your healing process.

EFT is an integrative therapeutic approach that combines elements of cognitive therapy with somatic stimulation through acupressure point tapping. It involves focusing on specific distressing emotions or issues while gently tapping on key meridian points on the body. This process is believed to influence the body’s energy system and nervous system, promoting emotional balance and reducing distress.

EFT aims to modulate the body’s energy flow and regulate the autonomic nervous system. Research suggests that this combined cognitive-somatic intervention can attenuate the physiological stress response by lowering cortisol levels, normalizing brain wave activity, and improving emotional regulation. EFT is increasingly recognized as an evidence-informed treatment for anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress, depression, and related psychosomatic conditions.

Typically, you begin session by identifying the issue you want to address, then state an affirmation that acknowledges the problem while accepting yourself, (e.g., “Even though I feel anxious, I deeply accept myself”). While repeating this, you tap on key points such as the side of the hand, eyebrow, under the eye, and collarbone. 

During EFT, a practitioner guides you step-by-step as you tap on specific points while focusing on your emotions.
