The Wikipedia Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) from Gary Craig and Wikipedia definitely put Emotional Freedom Techniques in the alternative medicine and energy psychology arena or what some people would refer to as “woo-woo”. I might have thought the same myself of Emotional Freedom Techniques except I had the good fortune to attend Gary Craig’s first training session in the mid-1990s.
The underlying philosophy of Emotional Freedom Techniques rests with the belief that negative emotions are caused by disturbances in the body’s energy field.As a person thinks about a disturbing memory or emotion and simultaneously taps on a series of 12 specific pressure points on the body, he or she is helped to free himself or herself from such disturbing thoughts through altering the body’s energy field, thus restoring it to “balance.”
