Known commonly as “tapping”, Emotional Freedom Techniques was created by Gary Craig. it is a powerful self-help tool that you can learn in minutes.
It is called “tapping” as the person taps on acupoints on the head, face, and upper torso (as used in acupuncture, but with no needles!) while bringing to mind a stressful event. The negative emotions are verbally described while using your own fingers to tap on the acupoint.
After rounds of tapping the body reduces the stress hormone (called cortisol), (source Dawson Church Psychology 2013. Vol.4, No.8) reducing reactivity to the stressor, meaning that you feel better and help you relax. This can help you deal more effectively with your issue.
