Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)/Tapping Sessions
Unlock emotional healing and release negative patterns with our Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or Tapping Sessions. These sessions address chronic sadness, anger, guilt, fear, and addiction, often rooted in unresolved emotional issues from past experiences. If an emotion no longer serves you, why hold onto it?
What is Tapping?
Tapping combines the physical act of tapping with fingers on specific acupressure points, rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, with spoken affirmations and declarations. By repeating various sequences and phrases, we uncover and release the root cause of trauma.
How It Works:
Acknowledgment: Acknowledge and bring unresolved issues to the surface.
Tapping Points: Tap on specific acupressure points to stimulate energy flow and release tension.
Affirmations: Use spoken affirmations and declarations to reinforce positive beliefs and emotional release.
Root Cause Discovery: Continue the process until the initial cause of trauma is discovered and released.
Benefits of Tapping:
Emotional Release: Free yourself from harmful emotional patterns and past traumas.
Stress Reduction: Alleviate stress, anxiety, and negative emotions.
Pain Relief: Reduce physical pain associated with emotional buildup.
Improved Well-being: Enhance your overall emotional and mental well-being.
Private Guided Sessions:
In our private guided tapping sessions, you'll learn appropriate techniques and responses to effectively release harmful patterns of thought and behavior. Modern psychology recognizes tapping as an effective therapy for reducing stress, illness, and pain caused by trauma.
