WHAT IS EFT
EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique.
This can be thought of as a kind of emotional acupuncture - one that does not use needles! Well-recognised energy points around the upper body are stimulated by tapping them with your fingertips to remove excess negative emotion. This is an excellent way for young clients to take charge of their own emotional reactions.
Young people have tapped successfully for - among other things - examination nerves, difficulty with school work, fears and phobias, trauma and physical injury.
This process looks weird to start with but has been in use for many hundreds of years and there is much evidence of its effectiveness.
Please see here for further detail.
If EFT seems an appropriate intervention with your child or young person, I will demonstrate it to you first. You will be able to use it for yourself too! (See Pitstop-EFT for my work with adults and EFT.)
