How EFT Works
EFT is an evidence-based technique that combines elements of modern psychology (including exposure therapy and cognitive therapy) with somatic stimulation (tapping on acupressure points). Through the pressure points, tapping has an effect on the amygdala and hippocampus in the brain that affects stress and memory. Research has shown that the technique helps lower cortisol, the stress hormone, in our body. EFT has been researched in more than 10 countries, by more than 60 investigators, whose results have been published in more than 20 different peer-reviewed journals.
