Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) & Simple Energy Techniques (SET) are forms of psychological acupressure, based on the same energy meridians used in traditional acupuncture to treat physical and emotional ailments for over five thousand years, but without the invasiveness of needles.

Instead, simple tapping with the fingertips is used to input kinetic energy onto specific meridians on the head and chest while you think about your specific problem – whether it is a traumatic event, an addiction, pain, etc, and voice positive affirmations.

This method of therapy combines mind-body medicine with acupressure techniques. It is based on new discoveries related to the connection between the body’s subtle energies, emotions, and health. Some talking therapy accompanies this.

We have training in EFT & SET and can use it independently or in conjunction with hypnotherapy techniques. Like EMDR, EFT & SET has been shown to be very effective with people suffering from trauma. Amongst other things, it is also excellent for phobias and a great technique to use with children.
