What Is EFT/TFT Tapping?

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Thought Field Therapy (TFT) are holistic healing methods that combine traditional Chinese Medicine with modern psychological acupressure techniques.

EFT/TFT or "Tapping" is needle-LESS! 

During a "Tapping" Session, Practitioners or the client themselves gently tap their fingers on certain acupuncture/acupressure points of the body in a specified sequential order while focusing on a particular issue or emotion they wish to resolve. These points are located along the body’s meridians, which are considered the pathways through which energy flows. 

| Fun Fact: EFT/TFT is non-invasive and does not utilize needles! 

This process is believed to stimulate the energy pathways, helping to release blockages and restore balance to the body’s energy system. It aims to reduce the intensity of negative emotions; alleviate stress, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, phobias, mental health challenges; and promote overall wellbeing. It is believed to be effective in reducing tension and promoting a state of emotional and physical balance. 

It is also an energy healing modality, and has the ability to reprogram cellular memory and thought processes. 

| Fun Fact: EFT/TFT may be performed remotely (from a distance) or in-person! The benefits and outcome are just the same!

"Tapping" has the ability to reprogram cellular memory and thought processes.

EFT/TFT or “Tapping” is grounded in the belief that the imbalances in the body's energy system can lead to negative emotions and health issues. Releasing the negative emotions help to bring bodymind soul into homeostasis (natural balance), allowing optimal healing within the vessel of body. 

It is believed TFT “Thought Field Therapy” - Deemed The Original Tapping Solution, neutralizes negative emotions and associated disturbances through meridian tapping sequences that are specific to the specific thought field. Advanced levels of TFT work with individualized treatment sequences for each thought field. {source: tftcenter.com}

As with any therapeutic method, the effectiveness of EFT/TFT varies from person to person, depending on individual circumstances, the nature of the issues being addressed, and the frequency and consistency of practice.

EFT/TFT are best understood as part of a holistic approach to health and wellbeing. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Thought Field Therapy (TFT) complement traditional medical treatments and psychological therapies. They are not a replacement for professional medical care and consult, yet a powerful complimentary tool. 

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) was founded by Gary Craig, circa 1990s, and is validated by ongoing scientific research. Visit eftinternational.org archive of

Thought Field Therapy (TFT) was founded by Dr. Roger Callahan, American Psychologist, circa 1980s.

Therapist, Researcher, TFT Trainer - Suzanne Connolly - says “Thought Field Therapy (TFT) is the most effective psychotherapy tool for treating trauma, PTSD, stress, anxiety and many other disorders. Within minutes, you can re-balance your body’s autonomic nervous system and witness painful feelings dissolve, never to surface again. While the process is simple, you are allowing the intelligence of your body to release the core of your sufferings that no longer serve you”
