Treatment

EFT involves tapping on specific acupuncture points while the patient is recalling to mind the problem troubling them while remaining equanimous.
Where the problem is difficult and overwhelming it can be approached indirectly. It is not necessary or desirable for the patient to be overwhelmed by the emotion. To avoid this, the problem is approached in small steps where at each step emotional distress is dissolved. The patient experiences their mood lightening. They will often be surprised as it happens so rapidly. With simple straightforward problems, one EFT session may be all that is required.

Where the issue is complicated and has many different aspects it will be necessary to have further sessions. When people come with physical problems they may be helped with EFT alone, though if necessary they will be recommended to combine it with another therapy.

An important part of EFT is teaching the patients how to tap on themselves, and this is done in the first session. Even where problems dissolve in one session the patient can use it for any other troublesome memory or ailment.
