What is EFT?
Psychological Acupressure Therapy or "Energy Psychology" is a fascinating field of study that has exploded in
the last decade. Energy Psychology interventions combine
mind and body to release psychological blocks (emotions). As an added bonus, when physiological blocks are releases, physical
symptoms are also often released. These
interventions use the body's energy system, while focusing on the particular emotion, feeling or problem for this
release. One of the many Energy Psychology modalities is Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) which was founded by Gary
Craig. EFT uses tapping with your fingers on the body's meridians (the same meridians that are used in acupuncture)
for releasing both emotional and physical problems.
If you are not familiar with the healing power of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), watch Gary Craig's
seven minute introductory video. I know this seems too good to be true. I have personally seen miracles with clients and
friends who learn and use this fabulous tool. In my mind, EFT is the owner's manual we all wish we were given at birth!
What can EFT help with?
As stated on the Emotional Freedom Techniques web site:
Based on impressive new discoveries involving the body's subtle energies, EFT has been clinically effective
in thousands of cases for:
- Trauma & Abuse
- Panic & Anxiety
- Fears & Phobias
- Depression
- Addictive Cravings
- Children's Issues
- hundreds of physical symptoms, including pain relief, headaches, body pains and breathing
difficulties.
Properly applied, over 80% achieve either noticeable improvement or complete cessation of the problem.
It is the missing piece to the healing puzzle.
...Often works where nothing else will.
...Usually rapid, long lasting and gentle.
...No drugs or equipment involved.
...Easily learned by anyone.
...Can be self applied.
I have seen EFT provide amazing results for my clients. Some of my client experiences include:
- freed from depression
- released from fear of taking a critical licensing test
- relief from back pain
- disappearance of anxiety over dealing with a difficult person
- sound sleep instead of insomnia
- decreased pain in getting over a relationship
- elimination of Trigeminal Neuralgia pain
- diminished blushing
- increased confidence
- released limiting beliefs and traumatic memories

Where did EFT Come From?
Thought Field Therapy (TFT) is an Energy
Psychology modality developed
by Dr. Roger Callahan. An early student of Dr. Callahan's,
Stanford Engineer Gary Craig, took many of the TFT concepts
and found ways to improve and simplify the process. Gary
created a method that is simple to learn and simple for
anybody to use. I personally think that Gary deserves
some sort of world wide honor for creating such a straight
forward yet tremendously powerful technique and making
it so easily available to the planet. After many years of supporting EFT's world wide growth
Gary retired in 2010.
Can I learn to use EFT myself?
The founder of EFT, Gary Craig, wants as many people to have access to
EFT as possible. Gary's original detailed
EFT Manual
is now available as a paperback book. Much of Gary's rich web site was archived onto
The EFT Universe web site. The EFT Universe web site has a FREE quick start EFT manual that
you can download from EFT Quick Start Manual. Gary's
excellent tutorial
as well as his
Frequently Asked Questions
were copied to the EFT Universe web site. For many problems that you would like to resolve, this is all that you need
to get started. For more difficult issues, hiring a skilled EFT Practitioner may be needed to help you identify and eliminate
your "core issues". On the original EFT web site it stated that
using EFT is usually 80% effective. What I have found through time is that the more experience I have in using EFT, the
greater my success rate. When EFT is not working it is because there is some nuance that I am not seeing, not
because EFT itself is not working. I believe that this 80% number is low. From my experience it is closer to 98%
effective.
When do I use Flo's EFT services?
I use EFT extensively in my practice. EFT is fantastic with coaching clients for releasing blocks which are
keeping them from achieving their goals. I often teach EFT to my Healing Touch clients as a tool for pain and
symptom relief. I also have clients who only want EFT. My typical EFT-only clients fall into several categories:
- Let's do EFT! These clients usually hire me for releasing specific problem area/s in their life. We do one or more
EFT sessions to neutralize there core issue/s which resolves the problem area/s. During these sessions clients are
tapping on themselves.
- Get me jump started: For some folks, the volume EFT material on the web site can be overwhelming. I
get them jump started using EFT by providing one on one EFT session/s. I also provide
pointers on how to get started and make use of the materials on the EFT web site.
- I just need a little help: I have already taught myself EFT. I want to do this myself. I am
stuck and am not making progress on a particular issue. I can help you identify your core belief/s and you can
do the tapping on your own.
Of special note: If you are using EFT and you are not getting relief, there may be something that you have not
tried that would get EFT to work. Just like with anything, the longer you work on a skill (in this case learning and then mastering EFT)
the better you become at doing that skill.
Common reasons for EFT seemingly not to work are included in the tutorial, frequently
asked questions, training videos, classes and experience. Keep trying. Don't blame EFT for not working. Think about what
you have not tried. If you are blocked then it is natural for you not to be able to see your own stuff. Sometimes getting a trained EFT Practitioner will help
you identify and release your core issue/s.
What should I expect during an EFT session?
I normally do EFT sessions on the telephone. Before our session, I ask that you download and browse the
EFT Quick Start Manual.
I have an EFT reference file
with the tapping points and a few instructions that I ask folks to use as a reference when I teach them EFT. I
can e-mail, fax, or mail you this "cheat sheet" prior to our first EFT session. I ask that you have a headset or be on
a speaker phone during our EFT session so that your hands are free to tap on yourself during out session.
My EFT sessions usually last an
hour, and I always recommend that you do EFT tapping between our sessions. My goal with all my clients, whether
they be EFT, Coaching, or Healing Touch clients, is to teach you tools and techniques that you can use to stay
balanced and healthy. My goal is to always be able to take on new clients, because my "old" clients are healthy,
happy and self-sufficient with life tools and habits that work for them!

Using EFT for Animals:
While EFT has produced remarkable clinical results, it must still be considered to be experimental. Thus the
public must take complete responsibility for their use of EFT. Florence Gans is not a licensed health professional.
Florence offers EFT as a licensed "Art of Healing" provider and as an experienced Life Coach. If you want to
discuss the use of EFT for a specific emotional problem with a professional in the mental health field, you will be
referred to one of a number of licensed practitioners who use EFT in their practices.
