What Are Emotional Freedom Techniques?
(EFT Tapping Explained)
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), often called “tapping,” is a collection of an evidence based (science-backed) powerful stress reduction techniques that combines gentle fingertip tapping on acupressure points with focused attention on a stressor, a feeling, thought, belief, sensation or memory.
Many people move from feeling stressed and overwhlmed to settled in minutes because EFT tapping supports nervous system regulation and emotional processing.
EFT tapping is gentle, safe and simple to learn. You can quickly reduce stress & emotional intensity, and it helps you feel more in control of your circumstances, especially during overwhelming experiences like burnout, cancer or grief.
If you’re here because you feel anxious, stressed, are struggling with grief, or emotionally stuck, EFT is designed to be practical and gentle. You can learn the tapping basics in minutes, and begin to turn down the volume on emotional distress so you can think more clearly, breathe more easily, and respond with clarity, rather than react to life's challenges.
Tapping helps rewire your brain, allowing you to process stress, trauma & loss from a calmer, clearer place within you.

What Can EFT Tapping Help With?
What EFT Tapping Research Evidence Tells Us.
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a somatic (mind-body) approach that blends focused attention with gentle tapping on specific acupressure points. There is a growing body of peer-reviewed research (with over 300 + studies in existance). EFT tapping has been found to be helpful in: reducing symptoms of anxiety,
depression, phobias, and post-traumatic stress.
EFT tapping research studies have also demonstrated measurable physiological shifts following EFT sessions, including reductions in cortisol (the body’s primary stress hormone), improvements in blood pressure and immune markers, and emerging evidence suggests positive effects on stress-related gene expression.
Brain research studies indicates EFT may help to calm the amygdala, the part of the brain involved in threat detection and stress, while supporting clearer thinking through healthier prefrontal cortex activity.
What EFT Tapping Research has found so far:
-
Significant reductions in anxiety, depression and PTSD symptoms
-
Measurable decreases in cortisol (the stress hormone)
-
Improvements in blood pressure and immune markers
-
Large effect sizes shown in multiple meta-analyses
-
Evidence suggesting regulation of the amygdala (brain’s threat centre)
-
Support for improved emotional regulation and clearer thinking
