What you'll be training in.
For a deeper introduction to Emotional Freedom Technique as a practice tradition, see the full program page.
EFT — Emotional Freedom Technique, often called Tapping — combines a simple acupressure protocol with focused verbal work to address stress, anxiety, limiting beliefs, and emotional reactivity. The practitioner (or the client, in self-application) taps lightly on a specific sequence of meridian-related points on the body — top of the head, eyebrow, side of the eye, under the eye, under the nose, chin, collarbone, under the arm — while the client speaks aloud about a specific issue.
What is happening physiologically remains debated, but the evidence base for EFT specifically — particularly through the Gold Standard EFT protocol developed by Dawson Church and colleagues — is now substantial. Multiple randomized controlled trials suggest meaningful effects on stress, anxiety, PTSD symptoms (in clinical settings, with licensed practitioners), and food cravings. The technique is unusually well-studied for a holistic modality.
