More about EB EFT

Also known as Tapping, a key aspect of EFT, involves stimulating known acupressure points to reduce emotional and physical stress. This evidence-based technique, guided by a certified practitioner or self-applied once learned, effectively addresses negative thoughts and body sensations. By tapping on these points, calming signals are sent to the brain, helping rewiring your brain. Tapping has proven to be a safe and gentle method for managing various levels of emotional and physical stress stored in the body.

​

EFT is also a safe and gentle technique to process trauma when working with a trauma-informed certified EFT practitioner.

​

Some experts have referred to EFT as part of the “Fourth Wave of Therapy” because it includes the body in the therapy.

Whereas earlier types of traditional talk therapy are focused solely on the mind and cognitions (for example, CBT: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). Research shows that it is the inclusion of the body in therapy which adds the power and speed which EFT has become known for.

What is EFT Tapping, How Does it Work? 

Step by Step Process

Identify the Issue – Think about what’s bothering you (stress, anxiety, pain, etc.).

Rate Your Intensity while thinking abut your problem – On a scale of 0-10, how intense does it feel?

Setup Statement – Say something like: “Even though I feel [the emotion], I deeply accept myself.”

Tap on Key Points – Using your fingertips, tap on specific points (head, face, collarbone, etc.) while repeating your emotion or thoughts out loud.

Reassess Your Intensity – Notice if the emotion or distress has decreased. Repeat as needed.

 

Why Does It Work?

Calms the Fight-or-Flight Response – Tapping signals safety to the brain, reducing stress hormones like cortisol.

Rewires Emotional Patterns – Helps the brain create new, healthier responses to triggers.
