EFT Emotional freedom technique 

EFT- Emotional freedom technique 
is commonly referred to as psychological acupressure. The therapy aims to release emotional blockages within the body's energy system.

What is Emotional Freedom Technique?Emotional Freedom Technique incorporates theories from holistic therapies such as acupressure, energy medicine and neuro-linguistic programming.
In a similar way to acupuncture, EFT looks to release blocked energy by stimulating the meridian points. Rather than using needles however, this therapy uses tapping technique. 
EFT practitioners believe negative emotions and illness are interlinked. Physical problems create emotional responses and emotional problems often manifest as physical symptoms. For this reason, it is important to approach healing in a holistic manner, looking at both emotional and physical energy.
Emotional Freedom Technique aims to tackle both the negative emotions and unbalanced or blocked energy. This is done by tapping meridian points on the body while focusing on the issue. 
This combination of stimulating meridian points whilst thinking about root causes enables the energy system to 'straighten out'. This is believed to eradicate the 'short circuit' to the body's learnt response or negative emotion.
 
EFT works well for recurring problems as they aim to tackle the root cause, rather than simply treating symptoms.
Below is a list of issues people commonly turn to EFT for:
-addiction-depression-fears-phobias-stress-pain management-anxiety-panic attacks-trauma -anger management-weight loss-insomnia
It is important to note that EFT is a complementary therapy and therefore should be used alongside medical advice. If you suffer from any of the above, be sure to speak to your doctor. You should also advise your EFT practitioner if you are undergoing any other form of therapy or are taking medication.
Another consideration to keep in mind is that while EFT does tackle emotional concerns, it should not be used in place of mental health treatment. For some, EFT will not be suitable. Be sure to tell your doctor/mental health practitioner before starting any new therapies.
Is it safe?Emotional Freedom Technique has no known negative side effects and is considered very safe.

Stay hydrated - Emotional Freedom Technique is thought to access electrical energy, and as water conducts electricity it is considered helpful to be well hydrated when tapping. Drinking enough water is generally beneficial to our health anyway, so ensure you are getting the recommended amount of water each day.
