Definition - What does Emotional Freedom Technique mean?
The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a form of energy psychotherapy. It is a practice that makes use of a 9-point tapping protocol on acupressure meridian points, combined with the use of specific wording, to correct energy disruptions in the body. Unlike acupressure, the Emotional Freedom Technique does not make use of needles.
SureHire explains Emotional Freedom Technique
The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is based on the premise that negative emotions like anger, depression, and fear are caused by a disturbance in the body?s energy system. The therapist uses the fingertips to apply a tapping pattern to the meridian end points just beneath the skin?s surface while speaking specific words determined by the points and problem at hand. The therapy is aimed at removing the blockages in the body and restoring balance and emotional well-being. It can also be used in patients with chronic illnesses as well as those with addictive or compulsive behaviors. EFT is a simple, drug-free treatment that can be self-applied and claims to achieve faster results than traditional therapy methods.
