New Therapy Technique: Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) teaches you simple methods to dissolve emotional pain, trauma, anxiety, grief, frustration, stress and many other unpleasant emotions and painful memories. EFT treats a myriad of emotions and individuals’ issues; creating rapid transformation of damaging beliefs and behaviors. Through EFT, practitiers have discovered how the energetic system is the missing link to healing core issues. EFT is effective for helping curb addictive urges and manage cravings, reducing anxiety, managing stress, and managing physical pain.
Each session of EFT is strenghtened by using cognitive restructuring and positive affirmations. The Emotional Freedom Technique is used primarily to alleviate the effects of trauma and grief, as these conditions often times result in Complex PTSD and other complications in relationships and day-to-day functioning. EFT addresses core belief systems that have formed as a result of tramatic events, by restructuring limiting and sabatoging beliefs.EFT has resulted in dramatic shifts in thought processes about oneself, regulated emotions, and reduced overall intensity of tramatic “triggering” that can snow-ball into self-sabatoging behaviors.
The result is a more stable self, having created positive choice statements that move oneself into a positive frame and more effective behavioral responses. If you are interested in personal transformation, managing stress and inner happiness, EFT is an positive coping skill that would be worth exploring. EFT is truly phenomenal and opens our experience to self empowerment, spiritual growth and lasting change.
