How does EFT tapping work?

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), rooted in Energy Psychology combines exposure and cognitive therapies with a somatic technique: tapping on specific acupressure points. This unique approach helps reduce the impact of traumatic memories stored in the brain and body, providing relief where traditional talk therapies alone may not reach. By activating a memory while tapping, EFT creates what’s known as a “prediction error,” where the brain starts to reprocess the memory with reduced intensity. This shift allows the nervous system to release stored stress, bringing a sense of true emotional freedom.

Studies show that EFT provides significant benefits for both emotional and physical health. Research indicates that EFT can reduce cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone, by up to 43%, making it an effective tool for managing stress. Additionally, EFT has been shown to enhance immune function by as much as 113% and even influence gene expression, highlighting its profound impact on both mind and body for lasting emotional and physical well-being.

Proven Benefits of EFT

EFT’s effects on both emotional and physical health:

• Cortisol Reduction: Tapping can reduce cortisol levels by up to 43%, helping manage stress.

• Immunity Boost: EFT has been shown to increase immune function by as much as 113%.

• Gene Expression: EFT positively influences gene expression, contributing to lasting well-being.

The Science Behind EFT

EFT activates several key brain regions and processes:

• Amygdala: Sends calming signals to reduce stress responses.

• Hippocampus: Reprocesses traumatic memories, lowering their emotional charge.

• Neuroplasticity: Promotes new, healthier neural pathways for stress management.

• Memory Reconsolidation: “Updates” distressing memories, reducing their impact.

• Sustained PTSD Relief: Reduces PTSD symptoms by 53%, with effects lasting six months or more.
