Emotional Freedom Techniques & Energy Psychology
THE FACTS: Research includes 99 Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs), 95 outcome studies, and 99% of those 194 studies show Clinical Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)/Tapping and Energy Psychology (EP) as effective, as they have been scientifically proven to demonstrate a positive, statistically significant difference in important outcomes. Randomized Controlled Trials document positive physiological outcomes for Energy Psychology: gene expression, immunological changes and stress biochemistry. 5 fMRI studies document neurological changes after Energy Psychology interventions. In addition, 6 meta-analyses (showing effectiveness for depression, anxiety, and PTSD), 11 systematic reviews, hundreds of case studies, including over 100 research studies in non-English journals (over 200 investigators in over 12 countries) reviewed and documented EFT and EP’s effectiveness. Research documented 86% of veterans no longer had PTSD symptoms after Energy Psychology treatment. 26 comparative reviews - comparing EP & therapeutic modalities, all document EP effectiveness. In particular, 8 studies comparing Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Energy Psychology (EP) show that EP is either equivalent to or more effective than CBT, and EP methods achieve similar results in significantly less time. In total, 400+ research studies, meta-analyses systematic reviews, and review articles have been published in professional, peer-reviewed journals. Today’s expansive body of research currently qualifies Clinical EFT and Energy Psychology as evidence-based practices, meeting both the American Medical Association and the American Psychological Association Standards.
EFT IS backed by research as evidence-based
Clinical Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) /Tapping is an evidence-based somatic (body-mind) tool that gently and safely combines tapping on 13 acupressure points with cognitive and exposure-based techniques, to quickly regulate your nervous system and help you move past big waves of feelings and emotions that would typically feel overwhelming. It also helps manage, reduce, or overcome chronic pain.
EFT WORKS FAST & GENTLY, EVEN FOR SURVIVORS
Because Tapping addresses both emotional & physical aspects of trauma, it works to calm your body's stress response by regulating your nervous system and reducing cortisol levels, which are often elevated in survivors. Tapping gently and gradually desensitizes emotional responses which helps significantly reduce the intensity of our trauma responses, such as anxiety, panic attacks, or chronic pain. Additionally, Emotional Freedom Techniques work well with people who do not identify as having had any traumas, but need support regarding limiting beliefs such as confidence issues, “feeling stuck,” stress management, anxiety, cravings, phobias, and aches and pains with no clear cause.
SCIENCE, DATA & RESEARCH KIT
THANKS TO THE INCREDIBLE WORK OF RESEARCHERS, SCIENTISTS, AND PARTICIPANTS OVER THE PAST 20+ YEARS, THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF STUDIES CONDUCTED ON PROVING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EFT. THE TAPPING SOLUTION HAS PUT TOGETHER A SCIENCE, DATA & RESEARCH KIT, WHICH BEAUTIFULLY OUTLINES OVER 40 OF THOSE STUDIES, INCLUDING THE BREAKTHROUGH STUDY ON CORTISOL REDUCTION AND THE FMRI STUDY SHOWING BRAIN CHANGES FROM TAPPING. SCIENCE-BASED TAPPING IS CALLED “CLINICAL EFT.” IT IS AN EVIDENCE-BASED MODALITY THAT HAS BEEN VALIDATED IN OVER 100 CLINICAL TRIALS, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO EXPLORE A CURRENT LIST OF ONGOING RESEARCH STUDIES, GO TO RESEARCH.EFTUNIVERSE.COM.
TAPPING HELPS RELEASE ANXIETY & OLD TRAUMAS
It helps release blocked feelings, emotions, thoughts, beliefs, body sensations and aches, etc., by rewiring our subconscious brain’s response to automatic triggers — sometimes even when decades old — thereby reducing emotional distress and promoting recovery. It is a powerful standalone technique that can also be combined with other somatic tools such as breath work, mindfulness, guided imagery, hypnosis, etc.

TAPPING CRAVINGS AWAY WITH clinical EFT
As Emotional Freedom Techniques focus on feelings, emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and sensations, it can work wonders with cravings when they have an emotional root cause that may or may not be conscious.

YOU CAN EASILY LEARN AND USE BASIC EFT/TAPPING
Tapping is a process you remain in control of at all times, even during sessions, as you are guided to tap on your own acupressure points. Work with deep root causes is safe to do with a trained practitioner, but you can also safely tap between sessions any time you need it (I’ll show you how), so you feel empowered with a greater sense of agency over your own recovery. The self-help aspect of EFT equips you with a practical tool literally at your fingertips to self-regulate and apply self-care with measurable outcomes, as we are always pre- and post-assessing goals to track progress.
