Neural Knots. When we face hard things, our nervous systems respond to the issue itself, plus our emotions about the issue, plus our judgments about having the issue. That’s a lot of nervous system involvement! These reactions wire into our subconscious and affect our bodies, behavior, relationships, and stress levels. Also, the subconscious mind has no sense of time, so stealth experiences from childhood can run in the background and impact us now.

How EFT helps. EFT unravels the knots. Tapping on specific acupuncture points while focusing on what’s troubling us unhooks our nervous system response from the issue so we can deal with it or let it go. EFT also addresses the ‘deal or let go’ piece by changing subconscious drivers that cause resistance, like childhood programming, limiting beliefs, or key memories. The techniques can address upsetting memories, difficult circumstances, recurring thoughts/feelings, physical issues and health, memory issues, pain, depression, cravings, traumatization, or feelings of anxiety. It can even work when you’re not sure what’s wrong.

EFT & Me. I use it all the time! It feels empowering to navigate life without substances, medications, or years of outside assistance – relief and self-knowledge are literally at my fingertips. As a practitioner, I use Clinical EFT which is not what you see on the internet, though its effectiveness does feel a bit mysterious. I’m accredited with EBEFT; I completed their two-year practitioner program which included mentorship and session supervision. EBEFT is based in Australia and directed by psychologist and researcher Peta Stapleton.
