Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Session
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
EFT is an easy technique to learn and use. It is a meridian energy therapy, just like acupuncture or
acupressure. It helps to make corrections in the subtle energies flowing throughout our body that have become
disrupted during the onset of a negative experience or emotion. Helpful in working with fears, phobias,
addictions, and pain, as well as many more situations.
The Emotional Freedom Technique was developed by Stanford Engineer Gary Craig. Through his life-long
interest in helping people overcome their emotional limitations, he spent much of his time investigating various
psychological treatments. He worked for many years with Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) until he
discovered a technique known as ‘Thought Field Therapy’ (TFT), the product of many years of intensive
research and study by psychologist Roger Callahan Ph.D. Gary Craig discovered that instead of using different
energy points for different problems, if all of the major TFT positions were used every time, one simple formula
could be applied to all complaints, thereby giving the energy system a complete overhaul. All that was
necessary was for the recipient to focus on the distressing emotion or memory and tap the revised sequence of
energy points. This method then became known as ‘The Emotional Freedom Technique’.
By stimulating certain acupressure points, neural receptors under the skin convert that pressure to an electrical
impulse that is transmitted to the brain. The person is then asked to connect to the physical pain, unpleasant
emotion or just simply “tune in” to the uncomfortable memory or future event, while these energy points are
gently tapped. This allows a release of physical and emotional trauma which is experienced as an unlocking of
the negative feelings, and a release of the emotional intensity that has kept the person trapped. People often
report a release of energy at this stage and describe feelings of light-headedness, yawning, sighing and a
sense of freedom.
The EFT process can take from five minutes to half an hour depending on the number of aspects surrounding
a problem. For instance if a marriage breaks down a person can be left with varied emotions such as anger,
jealously, resentment, grief, regret, and even sometimes a sense of failure. These are all different aspects to
the same problem, which may need to be addressed individually. Different aspects are possible with just about
any problem. A phobia of spiders may have different elements, for instance a stationary spider and moving
spider may have to be treated as separate fears. For more information, see Article.
