An Introduction to Emotional Freedom Techniques

Emotional Freedom Technique is a gentle and simple to learn self-help technique, that uses the art of tapping on acupuncture pressure points to release negative emotions. Some  people with lived experience say it is effective in reducing anxiety and improving overall wellbeing. EFT is often described as ‘like acupuncture without the pins’.

The practice of EFT dates back to the 1960s when a well-known chiropractor incorporated it into his work. He discovered you can get the same beneficial results of acupuncture, simply by tapping on the acupuncture pressure points. It has since been developed across the years, and is now used in a variety of settings including healthcare, pain management and general wellbeing. This course will introduce participants to the history of EFT and explore a variety of interactive tapping exercises.

  • Gain a good understanding of Emotional Freedom Technique
  • Learn, and be able to apply, a new self-help technique and a new way of meditating
