Clinical Eft Handbook Volume 1

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques or "tapping") is used by an estimated 10 million people worldwide. Yet a lack of standardization has led to a field in which dozens of forms of EFT, with varying degrees of fidelity to the original, can be found. This led to the establishment of Clinical EFT, the form of EFT taught in the original EFT Manual and associated materials, and validated in over 20 clinical trials. In this volume, the most noted scholars, researchers and clinicians in the field compile a definitive outline of the EFT protocol, as it is applied in medicine, psychiatry, psychotherapy, and life coaching. This first volume covers • Biomedical and Physics Principles • Psychological Trauma • Fundamental Techniques of Clinical EFT. This series of handbooks is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand EFT as validated in research, science, and best clinical practice.

"Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a collection of acupressure and mental-emotional focus techniques that address the mind-body connection. By tapping lightly or touching specific points on the body's energy pathways (called meridians) while focusing on an event of emotion, it is possible to clear reactions to past traumatic events, balance our perception of the past, relieve stress, and release negative emotions"--Page 4 of cover

EFT is a breakthrough treatment for fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and similar conditions. This book is packed with heartbreaking stories by former sufferers, talking about the pain, despair, and limitation they lived through before finding EFT. After EFT, many report complete or partial remission, even though fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue are labeled "incurable" by the US National Institutes of Health and many medical professionals. This book will teach you the steps of the method they used. It's called "Clinical EFT" because it has been validated in dozens of clincal trials, including one showing that fibromyalgia sufferers experienced much less pain, anxiety and depression after learning EFT, with many recovering completely. The reason for EFTs remarkable results is that it reduces stress, especially stress associated with negative emotions such as anger, guilt, grief, shame and blame. This book will guide you into identifying the traumatic experiences that contribute to stress, and tapping away their emotional charge. Imagine: no drugs, surgery, or demanding treatment regimens; just the powerful medicine of emotional healing, stress reduction, and inner peace.

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a terrible burden to bear. It not only affects people psychologically, robbing them of peace of mind and inner tranquility; it damages them physically. Traumatic stress can result from negative emotional experiences during childhood. It can also arise in adults as a result of war, assault, or similarly traumatic experiences. In scientific studies of war veterans, refugees and other traumatized groups conducted by respected researcher Dawson Church, EFT has been shown to reduce or eliminate PTSD symptoms, sometimes in just a few short sessions. It is based on Clinical EFT, the only version of EFT to be validated in dozens of scientific studies. This manual is the authoritative source for using EFT for PTSD, from the most active researcher in the field. It also contains special sections that gather together the experience of many physicians, psychotherapists, social workers and coaches who have used Clinical EFT for PTSD, and presents a picture of hope and healing.
