EFT emotional freedom technique
Tapping into the best version of you
What is EFT?
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), also known as tapping, is an energy therapy that helps release emotional blocks and restore balance in the body’s energy system. It combines elements of traditional Chinese acupressure with modern psychology.
At its core, EFT involves gently tapping on specific meridian points on the face and body while focusing on a particular issue—whether it’s a difficult emotion, a painful memory, a physical pain, a phobia or a limiting belief. This helps to calm the nervous system, reduce the body’s stress response, and create a shift in how you feel about the issue.
The process works by addressing disruptions in the body’s energy flow. According to Chinese medicine, when these energy pathways (or meridians) are blocked, it can lead to emotional distress and physical discomfort. Tapping helps release these blocks, allowing energy to flow freely and restoring emotional balance and alleviating the pain.
EFT is widely used to reduce stress, anxiety, phobias, pain, addictions and cravings. It’s a simple yet powerful tool that allows you to calm your body and mind, often providing noticeable relief in just a few rounds of tapping.

How can EFT help?
Limiting Beliefs
Tapping helps identify and release deep-seated beliefs that may be holding you back (e.g., “I’m not good enough”). By tapping while stating new empowering beliefs, EFT creates new neural pathways, encouraging a more positive mindset.
Addictions & Cravings
EFT helps reduce the intensity of cravings by addressing the emotional root causes (like stress or emotional emptiness). Tapping lowers the urge to reach for the addictive substance or behaviour.
Emotional Overwhelm
When emotions feel too intense, EFT helps you ground yourself by bringing down the emotional intensity and creating a sense of calm and clarity.
Confidence
Tapping helps reduce performance anxiety and increase self-belief by addressing the underlying fears of failure or judgment. This makes it easier to perform confidently in work, sports, and creative pursuits.
Sleep
By calming the body’s stress response and addressing anxious thoughts, EFT helps quiet the mind, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.
Trauma
Tapping allows you to gently process and release traumatic memories without becoming overwhelmed. It works by uncoupling the emotional intensity from the memory, reducing the physiological stress response linked to the trauma.
Stress & Anxiety
EFT calms the nervous system by reducing the production of cortisol (the stress hormone). Tapping on specific meridian points signals to the brain that you’re safe, helping to shift the body from a fight-or-flight state into relaxation.
Phobias
By focusing on the fear while tapping, EFT helps to rewire the brain’s association with the feared object or situation, reducing the emotional charge and making the fear less intense over time.
Physical Pain
EFT can reduce physical pain by addressing the emotional stress that may be contributing to it. Tapping helps the body relax, which improves circulation and lowers inflammation, often reducing pain levels.
