Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a very gentle, easy-to-learn yet powerful technique. This technique supports my clients in releasing blocks that prevent them from achieving their realistic goals with confidence.
Originally, EFT was designed by Gary Craig to help reduce the overwhelming stress of war veterans, specialising in phobias, addictions and obsessions.
EFT might be considered to be a counselling intervention that draws on various theories of alternative medicine including neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) & Thought Field Therapy (TFT).
This multi-faceted approach is highly effective for all individuals to feel more confident to achieve their goals.
It has been referred to as “needle-less acupuncture”.
It is a combination of tapping on certain parts of the body whilst acknowledging relevant stress statements to access the subconscious. Some common stress statements include:
“I am unhappy”
“I never get what I want”
“I’m so angry with ...”
“I feel not heard”
“I feel unsupported”
“I feel unloved”
All emotions, whether they be frustration, anger, sadness, feeling stuck or feeling unloved, are catalysts for change. By acknowledging how you feel, you are able to reach acceptance. With acceptance comes the opportunity to let go of emotions that are attached to your past experiences.
The subconscious stores all the BS (Belief System), memories of events/people and unhelpful thoughts that sometimes hinder us from achieving our goals with confidence.
With each memory, our subconscious also stores the emotions attached to those memories. By re-wiring our brain using EFT, we are able to clear these emotions and gain more confidence to achieve our goals.
