Emotional Freedom: Techniques for Dealing with Emotional and Physical Distress - Paperback

This book gives clear, simple, fully illustrated instructions about the use of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). It is manual for the use of EFT. EFT consists of five treatment steps: selecting your target issue, creating an affirmation with a brief description of the issue, tapping on the 12 basic acupressure points, tapping on 9 optional acupressure points, and then repeating the 12 basic acupressure points. After a glossary chapter, a separate chapter teaches each treatment step in a clear, understandable way. Other chapters include describing EFT as an experimental, outcome-based, treatment, the use of shortcuts, and an easy approach to problem solving when treatment stalls. Then there are chapters giving a detailed review of EFT, a flowchart, and chapters dealing with treating trauma, addictions and learned physical pain. To make your treatment objectives easier, there is an appendix that lists many issues and aspects of issues. A final chapter sets this book apart from all others. This chapter makes EFT available to your inner-self, a part of you that can simply treat issues when asked or even automatically use EFT to treat problematic issues as they arise.
