Emotional Freedom Technique
Simply, Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT is a "delete program" for the brain. Use it to eliminate any and every possible negative thought or behaviour:
- Phobia
- Negative emotion
- Fear
- Past traumatic events
- Negative behaviour eg. over-eating, smoking
- Pain
- Stress and Anxiety
It has even been used to treat physical illness and symptoms of autistic spectrum disorder in young chlidren.
Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT is a relatively new technique that is rapidly gaining in popularity. It has wide-ranging applications and I teach it to most of my clients. It is a technique that once learnt, you will have forever and you can apply it to many areas of your life without the need for a therapist.
You CAN feel better and live your life FREE!

But what is EFT?
Emotional Freedom Technique is a system of tapping on acupuncture points of the body and in this way it follows the oriental healing practices. The points lie along the energy meridians that course through the body. Oriental medicine believes that energy can get blocked in the body and that we store negative emotions and energy in the meridians or energy flows.
Consider this, a strong emotion is like an energy charge. Now we can neither create nor destroy energy, only change its disposition. So when a strong emotion is felt and is not dissipated by resolving the situation or the feeling, it has to get stored somewhere and it can only be stored in the body. Thus if we continue to feel strong emotions, we are placing blockages and stores of energy in our bodies, in the energy meridians. And what happens to that energy once it is trapped?
Blockages eventually make us sick because they disrupt the life-force energy that flows around the body. Consider a meridian as a clear mountain strem. If we throw rubbish into that stream, eventually it will get sludgy and slow. We may even find tin cans, bags of rubbish or a shopping trolley dumped in the stream. If our energy is not flowing then we will surely feel ill.
One man described it thus - "I don't get angry, I just grow a tumour." His anger had no outlet and was beeing kept by his body, resulting in cancerous tumours. Very many doctors believe that stress causes all illness. And we can deal with stress and strong unhelpful emotiona with Emotional freedom Technique.

How does EFT help?
I blend Hypnotherapy techniques with EFT and I teach it to most of my clients in Daventry and Northampton. It can be used to eliminate blockages to success so all my weight loss and stop smoking clients learn EFT to get over their "excuses" and reasons why they cannot lose weight or quit smoking.
It is excellent for getting over traumatic events or the troublesome childhood experiences that seem to dog us and contribute to anxiety and panic attacks in adulthood. EFT can calm us down when feeling fear or panic. EFT is a fantastic therapy for any type of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD. It can eliminate phobia entirely. One very useful application of EFT is it's ability to remove cravings, that's why I teach it to my weight loss and stop smoking clients.
But EFT can literally be used for anything and everything. If you are feeling low, use EFT, if you are stressed, EFT can calm you down. If you are struggling with a physical symptom, try EFT. The uses of EFT are endless.
How does EFT work with Hypnosis?
EFT is a great programme for removing unwanted feelings and in Hypnosis we can easily add in the positive behaviours that we want to enhance. So I use EFT to remove barriers and then use hypnotherapy techniques to achieve the positive effect for my clients. Remove the barriers first and then set the client on the road to success.
It is a tried and tested method, it works!
Each client is different, I use a blend of techniques to achieve the goals that the client wants and EFT is one of those techniques.
EFT is a skill for life
Once you have learnt Emotional Freedom Technique you won't forget it, you can use it daily to keep on top of unwanted emotions that are getting you down. Or use the techniques I will show you to overcome specific problems that you run into.
It's easy, fun and effective.
