What is EFT?
EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques. EFT is one of the principal therapeutic modalities used in the increasingly recognized and scientifically supported field of Energy Psychology.
EFT can be thought of as emotional acupuncture. EFT professionals guide clients in identifying often long-buried emotionally traumatic experiences that have altered the normal flow of energy in their body. Blocks to normal energy flow give rise to negative emotions and unhelpful beliefs and behavior patterns. When causal traumatic experiences are identified, gentle tapping on selected acupuncture points is used to neutralize them and restore optimal energy flow. According to the increasingly robust Energy Psychology research literature, removing blocks to the body’s normal energy flow can alleviate a wide range of emotional and physical problems.
Confidence and self-esteem
Are you hyper-sensitive to criticism? Are you chronically worried about messing up at work? Do you lack the confidence to really go after your goals?
EFT can help you identify and neutralize childhood experiences and influences that short-circuited your self-esteem and set you up for a lifetime of self-doubt.
Whether you think you can or think you can’t – you’re right.
— Henry Ford
Relationships
Is there someone in your family you just can’t stand…but can’t avoid? Is your boss driving you crazy?
You can greatly reduce the discomfort you tend to experience in the presence of certain people by addressing the core reasons why they bother you so much.
The first step is identifying the emotions that are triggered in you. The next step is to use EFT processes to reduce or abolish your emotional reaction.
Ability to Manage Stress
Here’s the truth about stress: your obnoxious uncle, your hypercritical boss – and for that matter, traffic snarls and rude drivers – can upset you only if you give them permission. That’s right.
Getting upset and stressed-out is voluntary. You don’t have to do it. It’s possible to remain calm and serene in the face of pretty much any provocation and you can get there!
Health and Physical Well-being
A healthy, pain-free body is a precious gift that enhances all aspects of life. EFT can help you improve your physical well-being in several ways.
Do you absolutely LOVE exercise? I didn’t think so. I didn’t, either. EFT changed that. EFT can help YOU change your mind about movement, too.
Performance
Does pressure get to you? Do work deadlines stress you out? Do you have a tendency to procrastinate? Do you often choke when trying to make a putt or sink a basketball?
EFT can remove or diminish the intensity of the performance-blocking factors listed above. If you feel you’re being held back by something I’ve not listed, please get in touch and we’ll talk.
Overall Happiness
EFT is often marvelously effective at undoing damage done to people in childhood. By assisting clients to recall and neutralize instances in which they felt unloved, humiliated, etc., and/or instances of psychological or physical abuse, EFT practitioners can help them achieve an enhanced and lasting sense of well-being.
Consider giving EFT a chance to help you elevate your general mood over the long term. You can be happier!
