Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Tapping is an alternative approach to treating different kinds of emotional distress and physical pain. This is also referred to as “tapping” because it tries to utilize techniques on psychological acupressure. This technique is effective in treating individuals who are suffering from anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This treatment focuses on applying pressure to different meridian points (or energy hotspots) in the body in order to restore the natural balance of your body’s energy. By restoring this balance, symptoms from negative experiences can also be relieved. Unlike acupuncture, the acupressure method of EFT uses tapping to apply pressure to energy points. If you are experiencing different kinds of psychological distress, you can try EFT Tapping to help relieve you of your symptoms.
