EFT is a powerful technique used by over 5,000 doctors, psychologists, therapists, chiropractors, hypnotherapists and healing professionals worldwide. It is fast and the results are often dramatic and long lasting. In fact, it often works when nothing else will. You can read hundreds of case studies on the official website (http://www.emofree.com/) showing how effective it can be on a variety of issues from pain, to post traumatic stress to children’s issues.
But how does it work? How can it possibly work so well?
EFT’s dramatic results boast such high success rates, it even generates skepticism in the practitioners witnessing it with their own eyes.
So why does it work so well? EFT is a mind body technique that falls under the branch of psychology called Energy Psychology. It is based on traditional cognitive behavior therapy, a prevalent talk therapy approach, combined with the the eastern medicine philosophy of acupuncture. It uses tapping on acupuncture meridian points called acupoints (without the use of needles) while discussing issues in a conversational manner.
But what is a mind body technique? Mindbody philosophies recognize we are not just bodies. We have thoughts, emotions and bodies all of which create our experiences. Our brain, a highly elecro-chemical organ, is in the middle, interpreting our thoughts and creating the sensations in our body we associate with emotions like fear, anger, joy. It operates much like an electrical circuit, or loop, from thought to emotion to physical sensation.
This is where EFT makes it’s profound impact. The gentle tapping on the meridian acupoints seems to send a signal back to the brain breaking the circuit of thought, emotion and physical sensations that underlie fears, painful emotions and physical pain.

Take the example of a fear. A fear is comprised of thought, emotion and physical sensation. It starts with a a thought, like a fearful memory or maybe just an anxious thought about our bills. Our mind interprets what we are thinking or observing as threatening to the self. Our brain responds instantly by generating and releasing a cascade of chemicals into our body – hormones like adrenline that create the sensations of fear in our body. This is the classic fight or flight response.
EFT short circuits the connection of the emotion and physical response from the thought or memory. So you can remember the same memory or be in the same situation and feel nothing, no connection to the fear. This is why it’s called the Emotional Freedom Technique…because you gain emotional freedom from your issue.
It also has been shown to eliminate cycles of irrational thought that accompany phobias or that can result from traumatic experiences. In their place you can find a more balanced and empowered perspective. EFT tapping also appears to stimulate the brain to release the “feel good” hormones like seratonin and endorphins, which have an immediate calming effect.
In success coaching EFT is used to uncover and release self limiting beliefs and habits that hold you back from your potential. This is a surprising and fun process that can make profound, but effortless, changes in your habits of thinking and acting. Changes that bring you more success. We also use EFT as a tool to tap into your creativity and inspiration.
