What is Tapping?
Emotional Freedom Technique/Tapping
Tapping, also known as Emotional Freedom Technique, is a therapy that involves gently tapping on different points of your face and upper body. There is a huge body of evidence now to support the effectiveness of tapping. When you tap on acupuncture points, it sends activating and deactivating electrical signals to the brain, the amygdala, the stress part of the brain and the hippocampus, the memory centre in the brain. These parts respond because they have been aroused as we tap and talk about your symptoms.
We do now know due to the number of studies, the data supports that tapping can have much quicker results than many conventional therapies.
Another way to describe EFT is “like acupuncture but without the needles”.
Whilst tapping on the correct pressure points, we bring the thoughts or emotions into our consciousness and by doing this, we can provide relief, and clear a whole host of emotional or physical issues that hold us back.
The good news is that even from your first session, EFT provides you with simple tools to take away and apply to your own personal issues. The results can be long lasting as you let go of unhelpful thoughts, emotions and feelings.
You will also find that your body also has less stress and tension and the therapeutic effects of this technique are recognised around the world.
