{EFT} Emotional Freedom Technique for Navigating Change
What is EFT?
EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques, and it is a form of psychological acupressure. It involves tapping on specific points on the body to address emotional and physical issues. The most common form of EFT is often referred to as "tapping."
Here's a basic outline of how EFT tapping works:
Identify the Issue: Recognize and define the issue or emotion you want to address. This could be a specific problem, a negative emotion, or a physical sensation.
Setup Statement: While focusing on the identified problem, create a setup statement. This statement typically includes acknowledging the issue and expressing self-acceptance. For example, "Even though I have this [issue], I deeply and completely accept myself."
Tapping Sequence: While repeating the setup statement, tap on specific acupressure points on the body, commonly including the top of the head, eyebrows, side of the eye, under the eye, under the nose, chin, collarbone, and under the arm.
Reminder Phrase: As you tap each point, use a brief reminder phrase to keep your mind focused on the issue. This could be a simplified version of your setup statement.
Reassess: After completing a round of tapping, reassess your emotional or physical state. If needed, repeat the process with any adjustments to the setup statement.
EFT is often used for stress reduction, anxiety, phobias, and addressing various emotional issues. While the mechanisms behind EFT are not entirely understood, proponents suggest that it helps balance the body's energy systems and reduces the emotional impact of memories or issues.
It's essential to note that while many people find EFT beneficial, it may not be suitable for everyone, and individuals with certain psychological or medical conditions should consult with a qualified professional before attempting EFT or any other alternative therapy.
