Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

An American psychologist called Roger Callahan developed TFT (Thought Field Therapy) in the 1970's. It involved 'tapping' the body's 365 acupressure points to aid restoration of the body's energy flow. The technique was revised by a personal development coach called Gary Craig, who only used 11 of these points and called it EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). It is this routine that is used by many of the worlds 3,000+ EFT practitioners.

EFT practitioners describe their therapy as an 'emotional form of acupuncture'. A client is assisted in tuning in to their problem; the practitioner will then use fingertips to tap a map of points, and a series of affirmations to bring about balance. The technique is said to aid many conditions from Anxiety and stress, to phobias, compulsions and pain.

The technique can be self administered after a period of study.
