What's the Science behind EFT?
Research has demonstrated that EFT cansignificantly reduce cortisol levels, indicating its potential for stress reduction and emotional regulation. For example, one study found that nursing students who practiced EFT experienced significant reductions in stress
and anxiety levels compared to a control group (Stapleton et al., 2018).Additionally, another randomized controlled trial showed that EFT could produce measurable changes in stress biochemistry, such as reduced cortisol levels and improved psychological symptoms (Churchet al., 2012).
Further supporting its credability, a meta-analysis reviewed the effectiveness of EFT for anxiety and concluded that EFT significantly reduces anxiety scores compared to control conditions, with effects maintained over time (Clond, 2016).
In terms of pain management, a study focused on individuals with chronic pain found that EFT significantly reduced the severity of pain and improved overall well-being. Participants reported decreased pain intensity and improved emotional state following EFT sessions(Brattberg, 2008).
These studies, along with many others, contribute to thegrowing evidence supporting EFT as an effective therapeutic tool for mental and physical health issues.
Our Session Process
- Welcoming Introduction: We kick things off with a warm welcome, setting the stage for a safe and comfortable space where you can freely express yourself.
- Initial Discussion: We’ll start by chatting about what’s on your mind right now and what you’re hoping to tackle today. It’s all about making sure we’re on the same page.
- Exploratory Tapping: Then, we’ll do a bit of tapping to uncover any hidden stuff and shine a light on anything that needs attention.
- Focus Selection: Together, we pinpoint a main topic or issue to focus on during the session.
- Progressive Energy Tapping Rounds: We then embark on multiple rounds of tapping, progressively delving into different aspects of the chosen issue to explore and address them thoroughly.
- Natural Conclusion: As our session winds down, we wrap up once all relevent aspects have been processed, often reaching a natural endpoint. If needed, I can employ techniques to 'box up' any unfinished business for our next session.
