EFT is a mind-body-spirit self-care approach which involves tapping on acupuncture points while repeating emotionally-charged statements that relate to specific health issues, often referred to as acupressure for the emotions. It is an evidence-based method that has been shown in several dozen randomized controlled trials to be effective for a variety of 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.
1. Understand and apply EFT techniques to address grief related to the loss of loved ones, pets, jobs, and relationships, along with related physical symptoms such as sinusitis, postnasal drip, and lung disease.
2. Analyze and evaluate the emotional origins of weight gain and food cravings, using EFT for weight loss to overcome barriers to achieving goals, with principles that can be applied to other forms of addiction.
3. Apply EFT techniques to manage chronic pain syndromes, including frozen shoulder and neck and back pain.
4. Interpret and analyze symbolic physical illnesses (such as autoimmune conditions like MS, ALS, interstitial cystitis, chronic urticaria, and frozen shoulder) by using somatic metaphors for healing.
5. Practice EFT techniques through both guided and independent sessions to build skills for effective patient/client support.
