What is EFT (Tapping)?
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT, or tapping) blends Western therapeutic dialogue with Eastern energy medicine, targeting acupressure points from traditional Chinese medicine. When emotional or physical distress is present, energy flow through the body's meridians is disrupted. By tapping specific points on the face, upper body, and hands while sensing deeply into what is actually felt or arising in the moment, that disruption is gently released.
