Unlock healing with Clinical EFT
Experience the transformative power of Clinical EFT, a proven method for reducing stress and alleviating emotional and physical pain - also known as tapping,.
Clinical EFT blends cognitive and exposure therapies with acupressure for a powerful healing approach.
Endorsed by the DSM-5 as an effective trauma treatment, it addresses the deep roots of trauma by engaging the body—because trauma isn’t just stored in the mind; it’s held within the body as well.
How Clinical EFT Works
Clinical EFT is an evidence-based therapy recognised as a 'fourth wave' psychotherapy for its effectiveness in treating trauma. It helps calm the amygdala, the brain’s alarm system responsible for triggering stress, while also engaging the hippocampus to reprocess traumatic memories stored in the brain and nervous system. Research shows significant reductions in stress markers, including a 24% decrease in cortisol levels after just one hour of tapping (Church et al., 2012). This makes Clinical EFT especially effective for resolving deep-seated emotional challenges and fostering lasting change.
The Science Behind EFT
Clinical EFT works by targeting key areas of the brain:
Amygdala: Tapping sends calming signals to reduce the body’s stress response.
Hippocampus: EFT helps reprocess traumatic memories, making them less emotionally charged.
Neuroplasticity: It encourages the brain to form new connections, promoting healthier responses to stress.
Cortisol Levels: Clinical studies have shown EFT can lower cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone, by up to 40%.
What to Expect in a Clinical EFT Session
Set Your Goal: We begin by identifying a thought, emotion, or event to focus on.
Explore the Event: We reflect on when you last felt this way or anticipate feeling it in the future.
Body Check: We tune in to how your body responds to these thoughts and emotions.
Set-Up Statement: We create a statement that acknowledges the emotion while tapping on the side of the hand, followed by tapping through specific acupressure points while focusing on the emotion or sensation.
Reassess: After each round, we check in to notice any changes or shifts, and adjust the focus for the next round.
Example Process:
As we tap on the side of the hand, we might repeat a setup statement like:
“Even though I feel hurt thinking about what my partner said last night, which makes me feel untrusted and heavy in my heart, I accept that this is how I’m feeling right now.”
We then tap through the acupressure points while focusing on the emotion:
“Feeling hurt… hurt in my heart… I feel hurt… hurt…”
How Does This Help?
Each round of EFT gradually reduces the intensity of emotions, often shifting from hurt to anger, to sadness, and eventually to acceptance. This process encourages insights and cognitive reframing, allowing you to navigate emotions more effectively and respond to challenges in new, healthier ways. The result is a sense of emotional freedom and breaking the cycle of stress and reactivity that keeps you feeling stuck.
