Energy Therapy
Energy therapy can safely and effectively address a wide range of emotional and physical issues. Working with our energy systems, such as the body’s meridians, brings about an instantaneous and often surprising sense of relief. This modality can initiate a journey of deep personal insight and potentially lasting emotional freedom.
Emotional Freedom
Techniques (EFT)
Also referred to as 'tapping'
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques, or colloquially known as “Tapping”) is a psychosensory modality that combines stimulation of energy (or “meridian”) acupressure points with aspects of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). EFT can be used to quickly and safely address and process a wide variety of forms of physical and emotional distress. Many things happen as we “tap” on these meridians. For instance, as a negative aspect or emotion emerges and we choose to tap, we are immediately sending deactivating signals to the amygdala (the emotional processing center of the brain), allowing executive function to return and calm to be restored to our bodies—forging, in turn, new neural pathways and cognitive habits.
EFT is considered a short-term therapy because of its quick efficacy, and clients usually notice significant shifts within a single session (e.g.: levels of cortisol, the primary stress hormone, are reduced from anywhere between 24-50% on average within a single hour of tapping). It usually recommended that one commit to at least several sessions in order to see more lasting results, especially in the case of older, deeper, or more complex issues.
Today, there exist over 300 peer-reviewed RCTs (randomized control trials), meta-analyses, and systematic reviews on the effectiveness of energy psychology, of which EFT is the most commonly studied method.
How To Tap
Gentle stimulation/tapping through these points is all that is necessary. For those who easily experience sensory overstimulation, try a touch-and-breathe (TAB) technique: gently touch one point and inhale and exhale, before moving to the next. Otherwise, a gentle tapping pressure is sufficient.
Stress & Anxiety
Work-related stress, anxiety disorders, social and performance anxiety, etc. EFT quickly and significantly lowers cortisol levels, the stress hormone.
Depression & Trauma
Depressive symptoms and disorders, C-PTSD/PTSD, childhood or adult-onset trauma. EFT creates a safe state to process troubling emotions and events.
Anger & Grief
Grief in processing the end of a relationship or death of a loved one; interpersonal anger, general frustration and irritability.
ADHD, OCD & Insomnia
EFT helps with focus, sleep issues, emotional dysregulation, over-thinking, and anxiety.
Phobias
EFT incorporates aspects of exposure therapy and is effective in addressing phobias such as fear of flying, social phobia, public speaking, etc.
Weight Loss
Issues
Related to food cravings and emotional resistance
to exercise.
Chronic and Acute Pain & Illness
Injuries, chronic pain and disease, coping with chemotherapy. EFT works quickly to release tension in the fascia and connective tissues, reduces inflammation, and improves immune function.
