EFT Tapping Therapy
Regulate Your Nervous System and Release Emotional Stress
When anxiety, stress, or emotional overwhelm feel constant, it’s not a sign of weakness—it’s often your nervous system doing its best to protect you.
EFT Tapping is a gentle, body-based therapy approach that helps calm the nervous system, reduce emotional distress, and support healing from both current stress and past experiences.
What Is EFT Tapping?
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a therapeutic method that combines elements of cognitive therapy with gentle tapping on specific acupressure points on the body.
Developed by Gary Craig, EFT is based on the understanding that emotional distress is connected to the body’s stress response system. Tapping while focusing on emotions, memories, or beliefs helps signal safety to the nervous system and supports emotional regulation.
In therapy, EFT is used thoughtfully and clinically—always at a pace that feels safe and supportive.
How EFT Tapping Works in Therapy
During an EFT therapy session, we may:
• Identify emotional triggers, stressors, or memories
• Use gentle tapping on acupressure points while focusing on specific thoughts or sensations
• Support nervous system calming and emotional regulation
• Process emotions without becoming overwhelmed
• Build internal safety, resilience, and self-compassion
EFT allows the body to settle while the mind stays present.
What EFT Can Help With
EFT therapy can be effective for:
• Anxiety and panic
• Chronic stress and overwhelm
• Trauma and developmental trauma
• Emotional reactivity
• Grief and loss
• Low self-worth or negative self-talk
• Sleep difficulties related to stress
• Somatic symptoms linked to emotional distress
You do not need to relive traumatic experiences for EFT to be helpful.
What Makes EFT Tapping Different
EFT is:
Gentle and non-invasive – no forced exposure
Body-based – works directly with the nervous system
Grounding – supports emotional regulation in real time
Client-centered – guided by your readiness and comfort
Integrative – can complement other trauma therapies
Many clients find EFT especially helpful when emotions feel intense or hard to manage.
What a Session Feels Like
Clients often describe EFT sessions as:
• Calming and grounding
• Emotionally supportive without being overwhelming
• Physically relaxing
• Empowering and stabilizing
• Gradually transformative over time
Some people feel relief quickly; others notice subtle shifts that build across sessions.
Is EFT Tapping Right for You?
EFT may be a good fit if you:
• Feel anxious or emotionally flooded
• Struggle with stress or overwhelm
• Want a gentle approach to trauma therapy
• Prefer tools that support nervous system regulation
• Want to feel more grounded and emotionally steady
We always move at a pace that respects your nervous system and personal boundaries.
My Therapeutic Approach
As a licensed therapist, I integrate EFT within a trauma-informed, relational framework. Sessions are collaborative, respectful, and focused on safety, consent, and stabilization.
EFT is used clinically as part of psychotherapy—not as a quick fix or surface-level technique.
