EFT is a modern ‘meridian’ therapy that identifies disruption in the body’s energy system as the cause of all negative emotions. The meridians are the same as those treated in Chinese medicine, from which the treatment is derived.
EFT does not require analysis of the problem as such but instead involves tapping the body at specific meridian points while reciting positive affirmations, effectively combining cognitive psychology with acupressure to address physical and emotional pain and imbalance.
