What is EFT?
Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT (also known as ” Tapping”) is a simple but powerful method that can help eliminate negative emotions such as anxiety, panic attacks, fears and phobias, and even physical symptoms. It also helps with limiting beliefs and self-sabotaging behaviours thus giving you the impetus and confidence to move through blocks and obstacles in your life.
EFT is often described as acupunture without needles and works by simply tapping lightly with fingertips on a short sequence of points around the head, face and upper torso, whilst at the same time saying a short set up phrase to help focus on the current issue that brings up an unwanted or negative emotional response. The process continues throughout the session until there is no longer a negative charge when focusing on the issue.
EFT isn’t a traditional “talk therapy” like counselling or psychotherapy although it is often used by counsellors and psychotherapists as an additional tool in their practice. No analysis is involved. The main focus of the technique is on how the emotional problem – whatever it is – makes you FEEL. By using the tapping sequence whilst voicing the emotional and physical feelings the subject brings up for you rather than going into all the possible whys and wherefores behind it, emotional (and often physical) distress can be cleared, sometimes quite quickly.
You may also find yourself getting very helpful insights into the limiting beliefs that often underpin emotional problems as the tapping sequence brings relief and freedom from the problem.
EFT can bring about a welcome release to even long-standing problems and is helpful in finding relief from many symptoms including:
• Stress, Depression and Anxiety
• Negative Memories
• Fears and Phobias
• Physical Pain
• Grief and Loss
• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder ( PTSD)
• Anger and Resentment
• Emotional Pain and Distress
• Lack of Confidence, Lack of Self Esteem and Limiting Beliefs
“After 16 years of chronic neck pain and trying everything from physiotherapy to chiropractic, I finally found relief with Adrienne’s help. Using EFT and Kinesiology, she helped me uncover the emotional root of the problem—something no one else had considered.
In just three sessions, the pain was completely gone. I’m still amazed. Adrienne is intuitive, compassionate, and highly skilled. If you’re stuck in pain and nothing else has worked, I can highly recommend her.”
