A growing number of studies are showing that EFT, or Emotional Freedom Techniques, is one of our most effective therapies for treating trauma-but why? How can something so seemingly simple treat something so very complex?
The answer lies in the way EFT seamlessly integrates the physical, emotional, and energetic components needed for trauma recovery. Often referred to as "tapping," EFT is an accessible practice that involves tapping specific acupressure points while repeating key phrases. By combining elements of cognitive and exposure therapies with acupressure points and energy psychology, EFT offers a proven mind-body methodology that anyone can learn to use.
