Candace Pert writes that by establishing a biomedical basis for emotion, and explaining how our feelings, emotions, and bodies are connected - through our mind - we can begin to understand our lives like never before.
The Emotional Freedom Technique is not intended to diagnose, prescribe or treat any disease, physical or mental. Neither is it intended as a substitute for medical or psychiatric care.
Whilst TFT relies on tapping a complex sequence of meridian points, the EFT protocol simply involves tapping all the meridian points for every problem - so by default we will always tap on the right ones.
EFT works by tapping with the fingertips on various body locations, balancing the energy meridians which have become disrupted when the client thinks about or experiences an emotionally disturbing event.
The memory of the event remains, but its emotional charge is gone.
Typically, this result is lasting; and cognition often changes in a healthy direction as a natural consequence of that change.
A very important EFT concept is that of Psychological Reversal (PR).
PR is caused by fear and/or trauma, and can block both allopathic and holistic treatment. PR is characterized by a reversed energy flow through the meridians, which can likened to 'having one's batteries in backwards'.
PR results in negative self sabotaging behaviour which can manifest in just one issue, or many areas of a person's life. It is frequently found in chronic conditions, depression and addictions; and can originate in past events or decisions, current beliefs, or stress.
Some of the beliefs causing PR include issues of deservedness, safety, motivation, permission and benefits in not getting over the issue.
However, PR correction is built into the EFT protocol.
