THEORY BEHIND EFT TAPPING

EFT is the recent development in a long line of therapies that date back thousands of years.

The source of all unpleasant emotions, according to EFT, is a disruption in the body's energy system. A traumatic event or incident causes the energy system to be disrupted, resulting in negative feelings and, in some cases, negative thoughts.

Once the energy system is adjusted, the emotional charge fades away. As the central premise implies, you aren't "mentally inhibited." You're "energy-blocked," instead. By following the simple EFT tapping instructions, you can clear congested channels.

EFT relieves stress by rewiring and restoring balance to the energy system, making you feel calmer, more at ease, and ready to let go and go on.

TWO ASPECTS OF EFT TAPPING

EFT Tapping is a therapeutic modality that combines two aspects: talk and touch.

For those unfamiliar with EFT, it is also known as Tapping Therapy, and it entails tapping on acupressure points while speaking statements aloud to accept events.

HOW TO FIND A THERAPIST WHO PROMOTES EFT TAPPING?

The beauty of EFT, more likely known as Emotional Freedom Techniques, is that it is a strong self-healing tool that anyone can learn and use on their own to bring yourself back to a state of calm and creative thinking in the midst of an emotional upheaval. 

Most people learn the basic EFT Technique in their initial sessions with a practitioner, either on the internet or via a practitioner. There are, however, a number of gentle Tapping Techniques that can help with broader concerns, prior experiences, and trauma.

If you wish to move past prior trauma, major events, or life-long habits, it's ideal to work with a professional EFT Practitioner who can help you release these events without re-traumatising yourself. Working with a practitioner can speed up healing and development, as well as provide clients with the tools and support they need to tap effectively on their own.

While there is no single directory for therapists who facilitate tapping, you can seek for someone who can do so using an online directory. Many therapists who use somatic or energetic approaches are often able to help with tapping as well (1).

You can discover eft tapping therapists online, or you can seek advice from your existing doctor, psychiatrist, or other medical professionals.

Make sure the eft therapy provider is a registered mental health expert if you wish to employ tapping as part of a mental health treatment plan. As long as they've had basic training, licensed mental health practitioners can offer tapping. While numerous EFT universities provide credentials, they are primarily received by people who are not mental health practitioners.

If you want to try EFT, choose a therapist who is well-versed in the techniques, methods, and approaches used in EFT. This person should be able to assist you in recognising, addressing, and managing your emotions in any setting.

EFT can be provided by certified tapping practitioners, but they cannot provide treatment.

HOW MUCH DOES AN EFT SESSION COST?

To begin with, there is no right or incorrect fee when it comes to eft tapping. You are taking a service that will transform your life.

EFT-oriented psychotherapy, counselling, or coaching costs the same as any other form of psychotherapy, counselling, personal performance coaching, or any other service provided by practitioners who have received specialised training in their field.

Fees vary widely depending on the practitioner's credentials and standing in their own specialty area, as well as their expertise in EFT, and telephone sessions are charged at the same hourly rate as in-office visits because both require the same amount of time, skill, and commitment on the therapist's part. Because you chose a phone appointment, you cannot anticipate a particular financial arrangement.

Now how much does eft therapy costs, in numbers?

Fees each session will often range from $60 to $185 USD, with the average rate falling between between $80 and $125. While these may be standard fees for the professional services you desire, keep in mind that EFT therapy or counselling is typically faster than traditional therapy or counselling, and thus may be more cost effective in the long term (2).

Deeper issues, on the other hand, frequently necessitate long-term treatment, which should be planned for accordingly if this is the case with you. Depending on your insurance carrier's professional qualifications and regional limits, reimbursement for EFT-oriented psychotherapy may or may not be available.

DOES EFT TAPPING REALLY WORK?

Over more than 100 articles demonstrating the usefulness of tapping have been published since its inception. The American Psychological Association (APA) published a study in 2020 that found that a single hour of tapping reduced biological markers of stress in those suffering from a variety of psychological distress symptoms like anxiety, sadness, and interpersonal sensitivity. It can also help with chronic stress, chronic pain, and anxiety related to tests and performances.

According to a study of the literature, tapping helped dramatically lessen anxiety symptoms. In one study comparing EFT to cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), 90% of individuals who underwent EFT saw significant improvement in their symptoms, while just 63% of those who received CBT saw significant improvement. Furthermore, tapping proved successful without the use of any medication. In comparison to CBT, it only required three sessions to see effects (3).

Anxiety symptoms are minimised after eft tapping therapy, with one study revealing that participants' symptoms were still reduced three months later (4).

According to a study and meta-analysis of studies on the effectiveness of EFT in treating depression, tapping reduced symptoms by 41%. It was also discovered that eft tapping's effects were greater than those recorded in antidepressant medication studies. Symptom reduction was sustained over time, just as it was with tapping for other mental health issues (5).

According to numerous research, tapping may be a viable complement to treatment for chronic pain sufferers. Patients with fibromyalgia took part in an eight-week virtual training in one trial. Various characteristics of chronic pain, such as rumination, amplification, and helplessness, as well as anxiety and depression symptoms, were reduced (6).

Routine tapping twice a day for two months lowered both the frequency and intensity of tension headaches, according to a study of people who suffer from regular tension headaches (7).

Another study looked at acute pain in people who had just had surgery. Those who underwent five minutes of tapping every day for three days after surgery had much less discomfort than those who did not (8).

EFT Tapping has been demonstrated to considerably improve symptoms such as flashbacks and nightmares, sleeplessness, difficulty concentrating, isolation, hypervigilance, and hostility in those with PTSD. Survivors of the Rwandan genocide were treated with a single tapping session in one research. PTSD symptoms were considerably reduced after treatment, and the gains were maintained at a two-year follow-up (9).
