When you’re passionate about EFT and the changes you know it’s brought to your own life or to others, you want to tell everyone! But you come up against people who dismiss EFT because “there’s not enough research on it”. In the EFT community we find this response extremely frustrating because we know there’s a large body of research now. So why would people say that? Lareen Newman offers some ideas to help you understand what might be going on, and to see other ways forward for EFT so you can understand that perhaps they’re actually not interested in the research evidence, or they have a very different agenda. The comments are based on the ten years of research that Lareen was involved in to understand why governments and health departments don’t introduce something when there’s a ton of evidence that it’s effective and useful.
