Frequently asked questions about Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).

How long do the results of EFT last? 

EFT is generally long lasting. Physical healings are often impressive and long lasting as well, but are more likely to re-emerge than emotional issues.

Are EFT's results due to either placebo effects or distraction? 

No. Placebo effects require some belief in the process and this is rarely the case for newcomers to EFT. Also, although EFT may appear to be distracting, it will not work if the client is, in fact, distracted. That is why the client continually repeats a phrase which "tunes in" to the problem.

Are there any negative side effects?

By comparison to almost any other process, EFT is quite gentle and rarely has any side effects. It is often used instead of other procedures, because of its gentle nature.

How can I learn EFT myself? 

Pam Wright and associates run regular free seminars and offer training in basic EFT and how to become competent in delivering EFT.

What do I say when I do EFT? 

This is one on the most common question and reason why people resist tapping for themselves. All the words facilitate is that you are turning into the distressing emotion/situation (disruption in the energy system) while tapping.
