Emotional Freedom Techniques - EFT

If you are seeking a proven, effective way to improve your health, develop your attitude, behaviour and personality, resolve personal problems, reduce stress and restore life balance then EFT is the answer.  EFT enhances performance at work, in business, sporting achievements as well as improving personal and social life.

EFT - Introduction

Past events such as problems with relationships, rejection, trauma or loss can unbalance our emotions causing deep feelings of stress or even physical pain. Ongoing work related stress, anxieties, interpersonal problems and depression can also make us feel emotionally vulnerable.

EFT removes negative emotions and promotes feelings of balance and harmony in the mind and body.

EFT works towards dispersing and releasing emotions so that they no longer affect our lives. Negative feelings may be helped by seeing a doctor or a counsellor however, EFT can have an instant effect and problems can be resolved without the need for weeks, months or even years of consultations, counselling or drugs.

How EFT works

EFT gently and effectively changes and balances the body’s energy system rather like clearing a blockage in a drain! Picture some grease in the waste pipe representing a blocked emotion in your energy stream. You can be completely sceptical about the theory and not understand how it works. Just as you may not completely understand the theory behind the Dyson vacuum cleaner, you know that it works. That's how it is with EFT.

TESTIMONIAL ………………………

“As you know my alias is Mr. Sceptic but I think as far as EFT is concerned I will have to change my name!

When I came to see you, I had been troubled by nagging pains in my lower back and my hips. After the first round of EFT the pains had become less severe. After the second round of EFT they had almost completely disappeared. I could hardly believe what had happened.

2 weeks later, I am still amazed. I thought that maybe the relief would be temporary but I am now almost pain free.”
Simon - Radlett

 “It is the first time for years that I have been able to reach over and turn off my bedside lamp, without severe pain in my shoulder and arm.”
Marilyn - Radlett

  “I feel great after the session yesterday. It was good to find out that the things that I thought were affecting me may not be the actual reasons why I am down.”
Charles – Surrey

“Played badminton for 2 hours straight yesterday and NO PAIN AT ALL. Amazing!

I did manage to play 5 straight games of badminton without any pain during or afterwards. I am still pain free. Bizarre but fantastic!! I feel fine.”
Karen – Holmer Green

“I wish to thank you for all you have done for me, you have changed my life.

With the loss of 4 members of my family in a period of 7 years, I was extremely depressed. I had taken to drink and cigarettes to escape the pain. My personal relationships were at an all time low. All my doctor could offer were anti-depressants, that was a route that I did not want to take. So when I heard about your therapies I thought I would try it. I am so pleased I did.

M.G. – Bucks.

“With my divorce, my low self esteem, a sense of rejection and the break-up of a new relationship, I was ready to commit suicide. I was turning to drink (2 or 3 bottles each night) as my escape.

Thank you so much for what you have done for me. I had never heard of EFT before I came to see you.”

J - Bucks.

Some of our clients need to understand or to find out more about the theory, whilst others are only happy that it has worked for them.

What EFT Involves

Using EFT involves identifying and then ‘tuning into’ a specific emotional issue or physical pain. You (or the therapist) will then gently tap specific acupressure points on the body with the fingers. For example, if you have suffered a relationship breakdown in the past or you have an intense physical pain, the therapist will ask you to think about the issue and notice how you feel. You do not have to relive the event(s) but you will be aware of any negative feelings present. You will be shown which acupressure points to tap and also you will be asked to help to disperse the negative emotions from the system by saying a relevant affirmation. Following the tapping and saying the affirmation you will be asked to think about the issue once more and to check how you feel. At this point you will notice that the intensity of the negative feelings or physical pain are considerably reduced. If necessary the EFT practitioner will repeat the process until the intensity of your feelings is brought down completely and balance is restored.

After EFT do the negative feelings or pain return?

No, the negative emotions or pain rarely return. You may still have other, different negative feelings or pains in other areas as EFT targets specific areas individually. Each area needs its own, separate treatment. However, once you have unblocked your drain, your negative emotions will be washed away.

Undoubtedly you will always retain memories of specific events but the emotions driving anger or pain will have been dispelled. Each time EFT is used the emotions will begin to be dispersed more easily and become less intense.
