Emotional Freedom Techniques (or EFT) is an emotional healing technique, which is based on a revolutionary discovery that violates most of the beliefs of conventional psychology. It contends that the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system.

Essentially, EFT is a form of "psychological acupuncture" - except that we don't use needles. The approach relieves symptoms by tapping on various upper body locations. This tapping stimulates the body’s energy system. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine describe this energy system as meridians. Typically the result is lasting and is also accompanied by positive changes in thinking. The technique is easy to learn and ideal for self-help.　

Background: EFT evolved from Thought Field Therapy, which was created by US clinical psychologist Roger Callahan. Callahan discovered that stimulating acupressure / energy points lead to psychological relief for an anxious client, and through experimentation was able to discover a series of useful points.

Gary Craig, who studied with Callahan, identified a comprehensive set of "all purpose" energy points that could be applied to treat any emotional problem. He called this Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and achieved excellent results with this approach on a wide range of emotional as well as physical problems.

EFT is not perfect. We don't get 100%. But, when EFT is properly applied, over 85% of clients achieve significant improvement or complete elimination of the problem.
