Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)
Sometimes called “acupressure for the emotions,” EFT (or “tapping”) is a highly focused energy psychology method that rapidly releases the emotional impact of stressful or traumatic life events from the body-mind system. As clients bring their attention to distressing memories and symptoms, practitioners walk them through a process of voicing specific statements while tapping on a series of acupuncture meridian points. This activation appears to reduce levels of stress while stimulating processing of previously stuck emotions and habit patterns.
Comprehensive Energy Psychology (CEP)
While EFT is a specific technique involving the meridian system, CEP encompasses a broader range of methods that include meridians, chakras and the biofield. CEP also involves the use of muscle testing, a technique that is commonly used to receive biofeedback from the body.
The term “Comprehensive” means that, within the scope of CEP, practitioners receive an array of tools they can use to customize treatment for the specific needs of each client. As with EFT, these methods can rapidly, gently and easily release trauma and stress from the body-mind system.
