EFT is a powerful toolbox of emotional healing techniques. It can relieve the affects of trauma, PTSD, phobias, grief, anger, guilt, anxiety, etc. It is also capable of dramatically relieving many physical symptoms (pain, headaches, allergies, and more). It is based on the discovery that the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system.
With remarkable consistency, EFT relieves symptoms by a routine which employs tapping with the fingertips on various body locations while focusing on the issue/ problem.
This tapping serves to balance energy meridians that become disrupted when the client thinks about or becomes involved in an emotionally disturbing circumstance. The actual memory stays the same, but the charge is gone. Typically, this result is lasting. Cognition often changes in a healthy direction as a natural consequence of the healing.
EFT actually has its genesis in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The ancient Chinese, and many other ancient cultures, believed that we all have an “energy body” and that energy flows through this body along lines called “meridians”. They believed that “blockage” in the meridians caused illness. EFT is based on the discovery that when we combine emotional/mental work with stimulation of meridian points, the body and mind appear to work together to gently and quickly heal many psychological and physical problems.

Field Therapy), which was discovered by acupuncturist and psychologist Dr Roger Callahan
in the 80’s. While Callahan developed the basic concept and structure, Craig had
the vision to refine it and make it accessible to everyone. He also, along with many
other therapists working in this field, began to realise the broader possibilities
for EFT. As a therapeutic technique there is little else to equal its simplicity
and effectiveness. Many experienced therapists now report typical success rates of
