EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a brief novel intervention combining elements of exposure and cognitive behavioural therapy, and somatic stimulation.
It is often referred to as ‘psychological acupuncture’ and uses a two-finger tapping process with a cognitive statement. This therapy has been researched in more than 10 countries, by more than 60 investigators, whose results have been published in more than 20 different peer-reviewed journals.
Tapping is very effective in reducing anxiety, stress and other emotional issues and it works on both real and imagined stressors and it significantly increases positive emotions, self-esteem and resilience and decreases negative emotional states.
This technique appears to affect the amygdala (stress centre in the brain) and hippocampus (memory centre), and both play a role in the decision process when you decide if something is a threat. EFT has also been shown to lower cortisol levels, which is the stress hormone. Too much cortisol can result in lowered immune function and ultimately affect our physical health.
To date, there have been 275 Energy Psychology research studies in peer-reviewed journals researched by more than 200 investigators in over 12 countries.
These include:
– 70 randomised controlled trials, and
– 55 clinical outcome studies
How Can EFT Help You?
Australian research has found EFT for obesity and food cravings (Stapleton, Sheldon, Porter and Whitty, 2011; Stapleton, Sheldon & Porter, 2012) and smoking (Stapleton, Porter & Sheldon, 2012) to be extremely successful and durable over time. Efficacy has also been established for phobias, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, and pain.
