Tapping into Health: Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) for Self-Healing

Date/Time 05/25/2023
6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Location Duke Integrative Medicine


EFT is a mind-body-spirit self-care approach that involves tapping on acupuncture points while repeating emotionally-charged statements related to specific health issues, often referred to as acupressure for emotions. It is an evidence-based method that has been shown in several dozen randomized controlled trials to be effective for various conditions, including anxiety, weight loss and food cravings, depression, PTSD, phobias, pain, and other physical symptoms. As a form of energy psychology, EFT addresses the root energetic imbalances that result from trauma and other emotional stressors.

This workshop will be an intensive four-week experiential program featuring group tapping exercises and individual tapping demonstrations for various topics. EFT will be combined with breathwork, imagery, movement, and dreamwork.  Each week will focus on a different theme.

  • Session 1: Introduction to EFT focusing on grief related to the loss of loved ones, pets, jobs, and relationships, and associated physical symptoms such as sinusitis, postnasal drip, and lung disease.
  • Session 2: EFT for weight loss addressing food cravings, emotional origins of weight gain, and barriers to achieving weight loss goals with principles applicable to other forms of addiction.
  • Session 3:  EFT for symbolic physical illnesses, including autoimmune and pain-related conditions such as MS, ALS, interstitial cystitis, chronic urticaria, and frozen shoulder using somatic metaphors for healing.
  • Session 4:  EFT and dreamwork to explore hidden shadow issues that underlie the emotional blocks to the flow of energy at the root of many mysterious and puzzling chronic illnesses.
