Emotional Freedom Technique Description and Benefits

What is EFT?
Deborah Barnett, Ph.D.

. Energy Psychology is an emerging field of psychology that is based on the premise that everything, in its essential state, is energy. From this perspective our thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations are a manifestation of energy. Therefore, using specific techniques, we can bring ourselves back into balance by rebalancing our energy.  Thus, distressing thoughts, emotions and physical sensations are soothed and feelings of well-being, joy and physical balance are restored and enhanced.
