EFT Tapping: EFT for Childhood Neglect

EFT Tap Along #13

In this EFT video demo, EFT Expert Dawson Church, PhD, uses EFT for childhood trauma with an EFT workshop participant who revisits a childhood trauma from having to move and leave behind her home, family and friends. The event is triggered by remembering seeing a childhood toy bear sitting in the window of the home she was moving from and feeling suddenly saddened and as if she was abandoning the bear and the emotions around leaving everything for a new place. Several research studies have documented this phenomenon, called “Borrowing Benefits.” This series of videos shows clients working on their issues, and we invite you to Borrow Benefits with them. Instructions appear at the start of each session; you can skip through them once you’re used to the procedure.

EFT tapping, or Emotional Freedom Techniques, is a powerful self-help method based on research showing that emotional trauma contributes greatly to disease.

Clinical trials have shown that EFT tapping is able to rapidly reduce the emotional impact of memories and incidents that trigger emotional distress. Once the distress is reduced or removed, the body can often rebalance itself, and accelerate healing. EFT uses elements of Cognitive Therapy and Exposure Therapy, and combines them with Acupressure, in the form of fingertip tapping on 12 acupuncture points. Over 20 clinical trials published in peer-reviewed medical and psychology journals have demonstrated that EFT is effective for phobias, anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, pain, and other problems.
