Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a therapy approach which combines the energy health modality of acupressure with cognitive and exposure therapy techniques.
EFT has been shown to be effective for improving sports, school, and work performance as well as treating a variety of emotional and mental health issues including stress, phobias, trauma, weight management, anxiety, addictions, and pain.*
EFT is one method among many energy health modalities also known as energy psychology. EFT was developed by Gary Craig in the 1990's. He drew on a variety of types of therapy when he designed EFT: holistic psychology, conditioning, counter conditioning, behavioral therapy, cognitive therapy, human potential and client centered therapy, exposure therapy, thought field therapy, and meridian points (also known as acupressure).
EFT can not only be used during the therapy session but also as a self-help tool outside of therapy. We can discuss if EFT is the right therapy for you when we meet in person.
