EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Tapping and Bodytalk

Our mental and emotional health has far-reaching effects on our overall wellbeing. If not properly addressed and released, unhealthy ways of thinking, patterns of behavior, traumas, phobias and the associated negative emotions get stored in the connective tissues of our body in the form of neuropeptides. When we recall traumatic memories or when we are dealing with current stressful situations, our negative emotions get triggered and alter our biochemical balance, thus greatly affecting our physical and mental wellbeing. Fortunately today we have tools at our disposal to effectively deal with these issues, even during these challenging and stressful times. 

Over the course of several years, I studied two of the most amazing healing modalities available: EFT tapping and BodyTalk. When these two modalities are used together as part of a treatment plan, I have seen clients experience profound and lasting results.

EFT Tapping

Simply stated, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a form of acupuncture for the achievement of emotional and mental wellbeing without the use of needles. While researchers continue to study this system in order to better understand whether EFT tapping brings healing by restoring energy flow in the meridian channels or by simply calming down the amygdala alarm system and taking us out of the flight/fight response, there continues to be a growing body of evidence about the effectiveness of EFT in alleviating issues such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, phobias and more.

Although there are many good techniques available to release negative emotions, EFT definitely stands out for its simplicity, effectiveness and astonishingly fast results.

BodyTalk: A Somatic Approach

Have you done a lot of trauma work but still don’t feel like you have really fully healed?

Trauma and associated emotions and physical sensations get stored in various parts of the body, including specific organs, endocrine glands and the nervous system. When a traumatic memory gets retriggered through sensorial inputs, it causes specific emotional and physiological symptoms, depending on the somatic location of the trauma. The simple act of smelling something that is connected to a stressful and unprocessed memory can cause a trauma response without your conscious awareness. Therefore, to fully heal from a traumatic experience and its extensive consequences, it is necessary to become aware of and defuse all the conscious and subconscious reactions that are keeping the trauma response active.  BodyTalk is a type of somatic approach where the therapist is able to help you uncover the full story behind a trauma, the conscious and the subconscious part as well as the specific parts of the body where the traumatic memory has been stored. Then through some specific techniques the therapist is able to assist your body in doing what is designed to: process, release the event and heal.
