EFT Tapping

Picture
​"Tapping" (aka Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT) is a simple mental health intervention that combines Western (exposure therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy) and Eastern (acupressure, energy meridians) practices. While repeating a simple statement that both acknowledges the problem and affirms the individual, a series of nine different points on the body are tapped: "karate chop", inner eyebrow, outer eye, under eye, under nose, under mouth, inner collarbone, armpit, top of head.

The evidence base behind tapping is remarkable - clinical studies have supported the use of EFT to significantly reduce distress and "lizard brain symptoms" associated with anxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional overwhelm in clients from college students to military veterans.

Learn how to support a client with tapping and other mental health field strategies at a MHWFA weekend course. First one starts October 4 in Ucluelet!
