Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT tapping, is a combination of talking therapy and acupressure point stimulation. It is also referred to as tapping, known as the new psychology energy technique. EFT Tapping is a form of therapy used to help provide treatment to those suffering from emotional difficulties. It is also effective in helping people to relieve stress, anxiety and worries. According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) there are certain areas of the body, called meridian points, through which energy flows. An imbalance of these energy lines is thought to be the cause of discomfort and emotional dysregulation and tapping helps to rebalance them. Fingertip tapping of specific meridians, or acupressure points, stimulates these energy lines. The meridian points used in EFT are the same as those used in acupuncture, just with a gentle tapping pressure applied with your fingertips, while repeating certain affirmations. Stimulating meridian points on the face and upper body by repeated tapping sends signals to an area of the brain called the amygdala which coordinates emotional responses and manages stress levels, helping to reduce stress and anxiety.
