A 51-year-old woman who had suffered a severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) six years earlier underwent a single session of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), which successfully resolved several lingering symptoms. During the EFT session, Mind Mirror electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring showed increasing relaxation and centeredness as treatment progressed. The article explores implications for further research and potential applications in assessing and treating wartime TBI, PTSD, and depression.

This controlled trial compared the effectiveness of Wholistic Hybrid derived from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and Emotional Freedom Techniques (WHEE), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in reducing test anxiety in 15 Canadian university students. All three treatments significantly reduced test anxiety, but WHEE and EFT achieved the same benefits in just two sessions, whereas CBT required five sessions.
