EFT Tapping began in the 1980s as a breakthrough self-help technique.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Eft Tapping

Is EFT tapping the same as traditional talk therapy?

No, EFT Tapping combines tapping on meridian points with a focused verbal process. While licensed therapists may use EFT in clinical settings, I use it specifically for stress relief and personal development. If deeper clinical issues arise, we can set them aside or work with your healthcare provider as needed.

How does EFT Tapping work? 

EFT works by addressing the connection between emotions, thoughts, and physical stress. Studies show that the combination of tapping on acupressure points while talking through an issue reduces cortisol, rebalances energy, and promotes emotional freedom.

Can anyone use EFT?

Yes, EFT is safe and versatile for most people. However, if you’re dealing with conditions like dissociation, active PTSD flashbacks, or severe trauma, it’s best to work with a suitably qualified EFT practitioner rather than tapping alone.
