Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is commonly referred to as psychological acupressure. The therapy aims to release emotional blockages within the body’s energy system.

As with many other therapies, EFT works on the premise that the body contains energy channels. When these energy channels become blocked or unbalanced, it is believed to lead to emotional and physical illness.

Using tapping techniques, Emotional Freedom Technique looks to correct these imbalances. On this page we’ll look at EFT in more detail to find out how it works, what it can be used for and how to find an EFT practitioner.
