What is it? 

The Emotional Freedom Technique is one of the fastest ways we have found to release depression, anxieties, phobias and any emotional components to chronic physical illnesses.  It's flexibility is amazing.  This technique was developed by Gary Craig who has been making great strides into the understanding of how to release emotional memories.  This technique utilizes the understanding of the acupuncture meridians but without the use of needles we work to balance these meridians.  This technique is painless, very quick and effective.  

For emotional issues such as PTSD, anxiety, anger, phobias, depression etc, we work to get to the underlying issues that may be causing the generalized feelings of depression, anger, fear.  This method includes tapping on the end-points of the acupuncture meridians and thus balancing the meridians which releases the emotional issue.

For food allergies or environmental allergies, the technique is the same except rather than having the patient remember a specific incident that contributes to the feeling of helplessness or hopelessness or anger, the patient is exposed to the allergic substance.  While being exposed to the substance and doing the EFT technique, many allergies can easily release because the energy meridians are then in balance when exposed to the previous allergen.  For some people, there is also an emotional component to the allergies and this is addressed as well in our sessions.

In chronic illnesses such as diabetes, autoimmune diseases, cancer, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, we again work to get to the underlying emotional issues that contribute to the imbalance in the physical body.  In the field of psychoneuroimmunology, the study of the relationship between the mind (psycho), the nervous system (neuro) and the immune sytem (immuno) there is a strong link between the mind and the health of the body.  EFT easily helps our doctors address these issues and thus allows the body heal more effectively and quickly.
