Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/Tapping)
EFT is a gentle technique that combines acupressure and traditional talking therapies. We tap on 9 acupressure points on the face and body, whilst focusing on an emotion that has been troubling you, such as fear, overwhelm, anger or a bad memory or a worry about a future event.
By tapping on these points, we send a calming signal to the amygdala in the brain, which is the part of the brain responsible for the fight or flight response.
This calms the stress response associated with that emotion, memory or worry and restores emotional regulation, allowing you to feel relaxed and in control.
