Emotional Freedom Technique

Also known as EFT Tapping or just Tapping, this technique is wonderful to have in your toolkit when going through a stressful time, or if you have phobias, limiting beliefs etc

Emotional Freedom Technique

Your fingertips could be the best thing that ever happened to your Mental Health !!

Emotional Freedom Techniques or tapping, is an effective, calming and gentle technique which is also known as Emotional Acupuncture (i.e. Acupuncture without the needles). It is a gentle reset for your mind & body much like a massage for your nervous system !

Immersing yourself in this experience, will lower your heart rate, slow down your breath and will quiet your mind, helping to gently remove the negative emotional charge attached to physical and emotional issues. It has been adopted by the US military for the treatment of PTSD and is used by the NHS in the UK.

When someone attends for EFT, they are looking to reduce stress, anxiety, an addiction, limiting beliefs, a trauma or anything that may be causing them to feel distressed. It may also help with physical symptoms such as pain.

Through the process of tapping, we are re-wiring the brain to have new beliefs, emotional patterns, physical habits and perceptions.
It helps us to discover what is living underneath our pain, and then helps in releasing it.

Tapping & Fertility ?

I use tapping a lot with those who are on their Fertility journey. And there are a number of reasons for this;

It helps to drop cortisol levels down by 40% which is essential for those who are trying to get pregnant. The main function of the body is to keep you safe. So if you are stressed, your body will prioritise your safetly and your fertility will take a back seat.
If you are someone who has had a miscarriage, you are looking forward to getting pregnant again but you still have that fear that that miscarriage could happen again, which could cause a block. EFT Tapping helps to dissolve that fear and I often see ladies get pregnant very quickly after we gently work through the feelings that miscarriage has left behind.
When doing IVF/ICSI, every stage of the process can bring added stress to your life, so tapping is a wonderful way to release this stress so you can move onto the next stage of the process in a calm manner.

So, what do we do ?

During this amazing treatment, you are guided every step of the way.
There are a number of techniques which I will use during a session which are tailored to you to meet you where you are at.

We start the session with a chat to see what is going on with you at this moment in time and we determine the intensity of any emotion which needs to be discharged. From there, we may drop in to our breath or do a visualisation before I guide you through the tapping sequence by tapping on acupressure points around the body, mainly the head, face, chest area, under the arms and fingers. While we tap, we also pay mindful attention to the negative thoughts and feelings.

After each round of tapping we check the intensity of the emotion being worked on and you get to see how effectively tapping will reduce this for you.

You may find yourself yawning as energy starts shifting as it is being released.

When the session is over, you feel calm !
