Who Am I?
A brief introduction
What is EFT?
• A meridian based therapy with a wide
range of applications.
• Connects mind, body & emotions via the
body’s energy system.
• Quick & easy to learn.
• Often has fast results.
• Has 80-95% success rate.
• Works well in conjunction with other
therapies.
Energy Psychology
EFT come under the general field of Energy
Psychology. Other therapies in this group
include TFT, TAT, BSFF, REMAP & others.
They base themselves on the principle of

using the mind to tune into, and connect to
the problem. Then they treat the energy
system to clear it completely.
A Brief History
The Discovery Statement
“The Cause Of ALL Negative Emotions Is A
Disruption In The Body’s Energy System”
A thought or memory
▼
Triggers
▼
Disruption in the body’s energy system
▼
Experienced as
▼
Physical, psychological or emotional pain
What Caused The Disruption?
• Accident or trauma.
• Specific emotional incidents (teacher
humiliating you in class). The earlier in life
the less severe this needs to be.
• Social/parental conditioning. (Writing on
our walls)
• Past life.
• Energetic ‘birth defect’. (Genetic)
• Geopathic stress
Psychological Reversal
• A state of mind/energy system which will
self sabotage any attempt to ‘get better’.
• Can be driven by some secondary gain.
• Present in around 40% of most issues,
and in around 95% of chronic health
conditions and addictions.
• Can be treated quickly and simply, though
will return unless the underlying causes
are treated.
Apex Effect
When the client has such a profound cognitive
shift they can no longer identify with their
previous issue. E.g. They had intense anger
then move into sadness without noticing.

EFT Does Not:
• Remove common sense caution.
E.g. removing a fear of heights will make
someone jump of a high building.
• Clear addictions by removing the cravings.
I.e. You must clear the underlying
emotions for long term results.
• Negate the lessons, reason or truth of
someone's experience.
• Replace correct medical supervision.
EFT – The Basics
The setup phrase: An acknowledgement of
the problem and an acceptance of the self.
“Even though I have this problem I deeply
and completely accept myself”
The reminder phrase: Helps maintain focus

on the issue being treated.
“This problem”
The Points
A Round of Tapping
• Identify the problem and measure its intensity from 0-10
• Create a set-up and reminder phrase that is specific and
accurately describes the problem
• Repeat set-up phrase 3 times while rubbing the sore spot
• Repeat reminder phrase while tapping on each of the
following points 7 times:
EB, SE, UE, UN, UL, CB, UA, TN, IF, MF, LF, GP, KC
• Repeat the above sequence
• Take a deep breath, and let go
• Check intensity level
• Repeat if necessary
• Ensure all emotional charge has gone and intensity is
rated at 0
Trying EFT On Breathing
• Take a slow, deep breath and relax.
• Repeat again, this time notice any
restriction. Rate the depth and ease of
breath on a scale of 0-10.
• Do a round of EFT
• Repeat breathing and notice if there has
been any change.
Tips For Improved Success
• Be Specific – Describe the pain, Relate to
specific events, Refer to specific people.
• Say the setup and reminder phrases as
though you mean them, own the words.
• Change the reminder phrase as needed to
reflect the change in the problem being
worked on.
• Say what you mean, be honest with
yourself and your emotions.
Ideas For Different Problems
Pain:
• Describe pain (Sharp, Shooting, Dull Ache) and location (left
shoulder, neck etc).
• Use visual image of pain (colour, size, texture).
• Emotion behind the pain, what is it how long has it been
there?
Fears:
• When did they start, do you know the cause?
• Visualise problem, get client to imagine the fear.
• Approach real fear slowly, treating each step of the way.
Ideas Continued:
Cravings:
• Focus on substance.
• Feel where in the body the craving is felt.
• Clear issues of loneliness, anxiety, emptiness &
deprivation.
Emotional Issues:
• Focus on the source of the emotion, who, when, where,
why? Deal with specific incidents. Visualise scene.
• Where in the body is it felt.
• Use descriptive visualisation, (colour, texture, shape,
location etc)
The Practical
• Choose a partner.
• Decide who will be the therapist and who
will be the client.
• Choose an issue to work on. Keep it
simple for now. (Perhaps a physical
discomfort, a craving, a fear of something
tangible, Do not work on deep traumas)
• Spend 10-15mins clearing issue
• Swap roles and treat for 10-15mins.
Reminder Page
• Identify the problem and measure
its intensity from 0-10
• Create a set-up and reminder
phrase that is specific and
accurately describes the problem
• Repeat set-up phrase 3 times
while rubbing the sore spot

tapping on each of the following
points 7 times:
