Emotional Freedom Techniques for Dyslexia: A Case Study

Summary: A case study explored the use of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) to address issues associated with dyslexia, such as sequencing problems and disorientation. A single client underwent 3 EFT sessions targeting specific emotional events, pre-birth issues, and the birth process. After the sessions, the client showed significant improvement in reading fluency, sequencing, and reduced disorientation, although further study is needed to determine if this approach is effective for all individuals with dyslexia.
