EFT
Right: Some of the tapping points for EFT.
"Emotional Freedom Techniques" (EFT) is an energy therapy which uses the same points as acupuncture, except that we don't use needles. Instead, we tap with the fingertips, or apply gentle pressure to stimulate certain meridian points while the client is "tuned in" to “aspects” of the problem. The hypothesis behind EFT is that "the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system."
Whether or not this hypothesis is true is, to some extent depending on perspective, irrelevant given that it really is effective! Personally, I do not care what explanation is valid, only whether it is and how to use it. It is believed by some that the energies that may circulate throughout the body have been largely ignored (until comparatively recently) by western scientists.
As a result, our use of them for emotional and spiritual healing has been sparse at best. With EFT however, these subtle energies are considered to be the principle cause of emotional upsets. As a result, results that seem significantly beyond those of conventional methods often occur.
Further, EFT often seems to provide relief for a very wide range of physical symptoms; its application seems wide compared to other methodologies. EFT is a new (to the West) approach. It is where a growing number of newcomers to this exciting field get their start. Many thousands of practitioners are now using EFT world wide.
So how do I find a Therapist?
Having trained in EFT in the late 90's, I now use it as part of an overall strategy taken with all clients. It is seldom used in isolation. If you would like to consider having therapy, or just find the situation you are in difficult and don’t know what help you really do need, call me on 07595 880250.
Caution
On a final note, I am sad to say I encounter clients who have tried EFT elsewhere, often with someone who has been on a weekend course and obtained a "certificate", with little or no success. This has unfortunately prejudiced, for them, an extremely useful method of working. As with all therapy, I strongly advise working only with someone with a good understanding of psychopathology. The techniques and principles of EFT are relatively simple and some people get results which seem magical. However, a thorough treatment is only likely to be obtained in competent hands. Please consult properly trained BACP or UKCP registered therapists, or those belonging to a register of similar high standards (Sorry if I missed anyone).
