The idea of quickly releasing negative emotions by tapping is a new paradigm, only discovered decades ago. However it is based on 5000 years of Chinese acupuncture. And it works time after time as acupuncture does. With similarly surprisingly quick results. And unlike acupuncture, we can do EFT over the phone.

Try it on everything?

How can EFT work for so many issues such as business stress, fears and phobias, pain, traumas, medical events? The unifying concept is that the negative thoughts and memories in our minds, and the uncomfortable sensations (including chronic pain) in our bodies, hold us back from thinking and acting in our own highest and best interest. 

And chronic pain, illness and anxiety, as well as repeated failures and self sabotage are often the result of old stories and traumas somehow kicking around in our minds and our bodies... holding us back.  EFT tapping releases the stuff that holds us back.

How is EFT is like psychological acupuncture?

We tap on acupuncture points while paying attentions to our physical and emotional symptoms.  Physical symptoms include all levels of pain as well as less intense sensations.

How do Stress, Frustration, Grief, Fear, etc, affect the body?

Emotions can feel like physical sensations, such as tightness or heaviness, in the stomach, chest or somewhere else in the body. Stress, etc, also shows up as itching, actual pain, chronic disease, allergies or even an unspecified awareness of a part of the body.

What about negative events?

Our old and new stories impact our lives now.  We tap while thinking about the images, sounds, words, actions, emotions, feelings, and physical sensations connected with those events.

Do we develop amnesia about the events?

Not at all; we simply release the emotional charge surrounding them.  It is our reactions to those events that cause the problem.  As we release the negative feelings about the problem, we can feel better.

And we use EFT for...BUT WHAT IF:

I am not willing to give up my memories.

I am not willing to forego my anger.

I have good reasons to hold on to my negative emotions.

Anyone in my situation would feel the same way.

Who will I be without this story?

I don’t deserve to feel peaceful about this event.

Mine is different and real.

What if I have been seeing a therapist for over a decade?

EFT can often help.

Will I see immediate results?

Sometimes. Delayed reactions are also common. You can easily try EFT tapping anytime you feel mental or physical discomfort, and you may feel better right away... or maybe the tapping will start an active process in your body to allow yourself to feel better tomorrow or the next day.

How should I be persistent?

Keep tapping, even without words. You can do something good for yourself.

Can I do EFT for myself? 

Yes, you absolutely can and will benefit greatly by tapping a number of times a day, especially, as soon as you wake up in the morning. Even when you are working with a complementary, or medical practitioner, you will turbo-charge your healing response (emotional and physical) by tapping between sessions. Also tap about your daily challenges, even when you are feeling fine.

How often do I tap?

Tap whenever you think about it. Twice a day is good, and every two hours, when you feel like taking a break, is even better.  Tap for 30 seconds or 5 minutes any time, and also tap for 15 minutes to an hour or more. Certainly tap for yourself in the moments when you are stressed or in pain.

When do I call a practitioner?

When you aren’t getting the relief you want; when past traumas and memories are too painful to access; when you can’t access your feelings or memories and need help with the next step; when you feel overwhelmed by the enormity of your situation; and when you have a chronic issue which is not responding to your tapping.

How long will the EFT process take?

This depends on the complexity of your issue rather than on the severity.  If the problem is truly the result of a single traumatic event, such as an accident, or one humiliating experience, it may take one or two months or less.

However, many of the challenges that we seek help for are based on more than one traumatic event, as well as accumulated habits and limiting beliefs. Issues that permeate a person’s lifestyle, such as weight loss, depression, addictions, serious diseases, and some anxiety issues can take longer to resolve. 

EFT is so effective that within the first few weeks you can expect to notice positive changes in the way you feel and act.  That is the reason that so many practitioners are comfortable offering a money-back-guarantee for their services.

People who self-tap daily will often have quicker results.  We are all “works in process” and EFT offers the ability to clear our negative stuff that comes up in our daily lives.

For chronic symptoms, should I hire an EFT professional?

First of all, EFT, in the right hands, can provide long-term mitigation of ongoing symptoms and provide significant relief for just about anyone.  It simply works, if you use it. 

You have been suffering for years.  You have tried the usual routes of medicine, doctors, therapists, chiropractors, and you continue to pay good money and still suffer. 

Have you tried tapping and noticed tiny changes in the way you think and feel, even for just a few moments?  You might call it a distraction, or give credit to something you did last week.  But if you tap often and consistently, and find yourself feeling better afterwards, maybe you can know that the EFT tapping is creating real changes within your body. 

In a gentle and sensitive way, an EFT practitioner can help you bring about changes in the way you think and feel. 

I like to say that no matter what you do, in 12 months a year will have passed.  If you take positive action you might feel much better by next year, or next month.
