- Eft Tapping What It Is How To Do It And What The Evidence Shows When Overwhelmed
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), developed by Gary Craig, combines tapping specific body points (derived from acupuncture meridians) while making verbal statements about a distressing experience. Multiple randomized trials report reductions in anxiety, PTSD symptoms, and cortisol, but study quality is variable and the control conditions rarely isolate the tapping component. The evidence suggests EFT produces real effects; whether the acupoints are the mechanism or whether the benefits come from the exposure, distraction, or somatic-attention components is genuinely unresolved.
