It is sometimes referred to as emotional acupuncture, because by tapping on specific acupuncture points on the body, the energy pattern behind a problem can be released. In EFT/Tapping, it is not relevant how long ago something happened or how big or small of a problem it is in your life. With the correct Tapping protocol, the troubling aspects in your life will permanently disappear. Based on ancient Chinese medicine Tapping focuses on the meridian points or areas of the body where energy flows through. These pathways help balance energy flow to maintain your health. The American Medical Association has approved Clinical EFT as an evidence-based modality that works on PTSD and other serious psychological disorders.
