Service Description

Tapping utilizes acupressure points on the face and body and gently tapping your fingers on these specific points to send a calming signal to your brain. The points send electrochemical impulses to the limbic and cortical regions of the brain that control stress and fear; this breaks the neural links that are causing distressing emotions and unsettling bodily sensations. You will sometimes see this called Emotional Freedom Technique. Whatever the name, both combine release of emotions with the specific pressure points as well as expressing the name of the emotion outloud. Research has shown that mere verbal labeling of negative emotions can help people recover control. The findings for studies on EFT are rather astonishing. A large-scale study of individuals suffering from anxiety across 11 clinics over a 5.5-year period showed 90% of participants found improvement using tapping, compared to 63% who used cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Only three tapping sessions were needed to feel a reduction in symptoms. Complete relief was seen in 76% of participants who tapped, compared with 51% who used CBT. One year later, the improvements were sustained by 78% of the tapping group compared with 69% of the CBT group. A study of individuals with complex PTSD showed 63% were symptom-free in 10 or fewer sessions of EFT/Tapping. Studies with veterans, health care workers, and college students found a significant reduction in depression after using EFT/Tapping. Physiological indicators of health, such as resting heart rate (RHR), blood pressure (BP), and cortisol have also been shown to significantly decrease after using EFT/Tapping, indicating improvement. Likewise, happiness levels increased as did immune system function. If you haven’t tried it, and are in need of this kind of symptom relief, give it a shot. If nothing else has worked as well as you’d like, definitely check it out. EFT/Tapping is noninvasive, nonpharmaceutical, and absent negative side effects, and more and more it is shown to result in profound, positive change for those struggling with both these psychological and physiological conditions.
