For simple issues, EFT shared in off the shelf resources might be effective and low cost. But what about approaching knotty, multi-layered problems that are unique to the individual? These cheap resources, at best, skim the surface. At worst they make it look like EFT doesn’t work.
This article explores what qualified, trained practitioners versed in the Art of Delivery offer.

How to find the “gold nugget aspect” to improve your results with EFT

By: Bruno Sade | 14 June, 2022
Categories: Core EFT Skills, EFT Strategies

EFT works best when we focus on something specific, such as something that happened in the past (a memory) or something that might happen in the future. We can be even more effective and specific if we ask ourselves “what part or aspect of this event is my mind focusing on the most?” and include that information in the phrases we use while tapping.

Preparing to Work with an EFT Practitioner

By: Julia Adams | 22 July, 2021
Categories: EFT Strategies

This article is aimed at the client, who may well be new to EFT and mind body therapies, and provides some thought provoking points for consideration.

Ramping Up Self Acceptance

By: John Freedom | 27 May, 2019
Categories: EFT Strategies, Surrogate Tapping

Ramping UP! Self-Acceptance We are all familiar with the standard Set-Up Phrase, “Even though I have this __________, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” It is an all-occasion, one-size-fits-all magic formula that names and counters objections.  It antidotes Psychological Reversal, and ‘sets the stage’ for EFT to work. And, amazingly enough, it does […]

Categories: Accidents, EFT Strategies, Physical Issues, Self-Acceptance
