What is EFT?
A relatively novel technique developed by Gary Craig in the 1990s, EFT’s ‘discovery statement’ that “our negative emotions are caused by a disruption in the body’s energy system” is a contemporary re-formulation of ancient wisdom from thousands of years ago, in particular traditional Chinese medicine. For that reason, EFT is sometimes also referred to as ‘psychological acupressure’.
Tapping aims to clear emotional and physical blockages that can hold us back in life and which may form the root cause of chronic malaise and poor mental health. By tapping gently with the fingers on areas of the body that correspond to certain points on the energy meridians whilst repeating positive affirmations, EFT brings the bodymind into restorative balance and affirms the whole person with positive awareness and self-insight.
How EFT may help you
Are you feeling stuck? Longing for a sense of feeling free?
Want to break away from limiting beliefs that are holding you back?
You can use EFT as a self-help process tapping for anxiety, depression, weight loss issues, other health-related issues, pain, stress and… whatever else you need to focus on and resolve for yourself.
If you feel you need some guidance with this or would like some initial help to get started with making your first steps, there are many benefits in doing EFT with the support of a professional practitioner. This is worth considering if you would like be given the space to be heard in your own voice and supported to:
- make changes (emotional and / or physical)
- shift limited thought patterns and processes
- feel more centred, balanced and grounded
- develop confidence with your own EFT practice so that you can take this forward yourself
“In therapy sessions, what you seek to have changed – the desired outcome – should be as quick and pain-free as possible”
What happens in a session?
Find relief by tapping into calmness…
During one-to-one EFT facilitated sessions, clients are supported to ‘tap into’ their unique subjective experiences. You will be guided safely with specifically tailored, person-centred EFT sequences which we perform together in vocal tapping ‘rounds’. You will find that tapping helps to release and resolve tensions within a supportive framework of listening and transformational dialogue.
As a qualified Holistic Acupressure Practitioner, I’m well-attuned to the way that emotional and physical imbalances can be expressed as a variety of energetic patterns. I work easily and fluently with the meridians and can show you various classical acupressure points, as well as explain the nature of their energetic actions and properties.
I also use EFT as a modality in integrated energy work by combining approaches from therapeutic bodywork, Shiatsu and Reiki, with creative visualisation and hypnotherapy.
