EFT / Tapping

Qu’est-ce que EFT / Tapping ?

A mind-body technique that combines focused attention on a specific concern with sequential tapping on acupressure points on the face and upper body, used widely for stress relief and emotional processing.

Histoire et contexte culturel

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) was developed in the 1990s by Gary Craig, a Stanford-trained engineer, building on earlier work by psychologist Roger Callahan, who developed Thought Field Therapy (TFT) in the 1980s. Craig simplified Callahan's point sequences into a single basic protocol and made the technique freely available, contributing to its rapid spread through self-help communities. EFT has since attracted a growing body of clinical research, particularly in the areas of anxiety, PTSD, and phobias; it is used by therapists, coaches, and individuals worldwide and is not tied to a single tradition or governing body.

Comment ça marche

A practitioner or individual begins by identifying a specific concern — a memory, a fear, a physical sensation — and rating its intensity on a 0-10 scale. A "setup statement" is spoken aloud while tapping on the karate-chop point of the hand (e.g. "Even though I feel anxious about this, I deeply and completely accept myself"). The person then taps through a sequence of points — eyebrow, side of eye, under eye, upper lip, chin, collarbone, under arm, top of head — while stating a reminder phrase. The intensity rating is reassessed and the process repeated until the distress reduces. EFT on Healogy.ai is offered as a self-care and stress-management tool; it is not a substitute for psychotherapy or medical treatment.
