EFT Tapping 

EFT was developed by Stanford engineer Gary Craig.



The results are usually longlasting or permanent.



The primary focus is on the negative emotion (the stressor).



Emotional shifts may be noticeable as it will often come off in layers.

EFT is Credible



An article in the American Psychological Association peer-reviewed journal Review of General Psychology reaches the conclusion that EFT now meets initial criteria through the APA for “Evidence-Based Practice.”



51 peer-reviewed papers and 18 randomized controlled trials were critically evaluated for design quality.



They consistently demonstrated positive statistical results that far exceed chance and showed moderate to large effect sizes after relatively few treatment sessions.
