What is EFT?

EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques, commonly known as Tapping. It is also referred to as “emotional acupuncture”.

It is primarily a stress-reduction tool that combines elements of Cognitive Therapy and Exposure Therapy with Acupressure.

It’s a method where you tap on certain acupuncture points on the face and body while focusing on emotional memories and/or physical pain and using cognitive statements.
