What is EFT - Emotional Freedom Techniques?

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) founded by Gary Craig was developed in the early 1990s. He has built on a large number of methods and discoveries from various disciplines, such as kinesiology, osteopathy, chiropractic and physiotherapy.

The method and ultimate goal of EFT is to neutralize the emotional charge of traumatic events and memories by decoupling the stress response.

The emotional charge is thus converted into a reaction that has little or no emotion, but generates a neutral or even positive memory/attitude.

How does the EFT technique work?

In this treatment technique, the relaxation response is stimulated by gently tapping on a number of acupressure points. When concentrating simultaneously on a stressful or traumatic experience, the stress response will extinguish.

At the end of the treatment, the trauma has therefore been transformed into a neutral memory that elicits little or no emotional reactions. In fact, the stress link in the memory of a traumatic experience is addressed and the EFT method proves to be particularly successful and effective in practice.

This way you effectively tackle stress and the stress-related complaints.
