EFT Provides Relief from Emotional Problems & Phobias
Millions of people have used EFT to address problems such as phobias, PSTD, trauma, etc., where in most cases EFT provided significant relief and often released the fears or pain completely. Although EFT is not 100% effective in all cases, in general it provides noticeable improvement of the problem and often provides astounding results.

Many EFT practitioners are psychotherapists, counselors, hypnotherapies and other medical practitioners such as doctors, nurses, acupuncturists who use it for its effectiveness and speedy results. Please note, however, that EFT is not "therapy" in the normal sense, because it does not require any in-depth analysis of the client's issues. And it can be self-applied.

How EFT Works: Gary Craig’s Theory of EFT
Gary Craig, the founder of EFT, explains that unbalanced or blocked emotions are contributors to physical pain, diseases, and of course, to fears and phobias.

The basic EFT technique involves holding a disturbing memory or emotion in mind and simultaneously using the fingers to tap on a series of specific acupuncture points on the body that correspond to meridians used in Chinese medicine. It is like acupuncture without needles, and it takes only a few minutes to do the basic technique.

The theory behind EFT is that negative emotions are caused by disturbances in the body's energy field. By thinking of a negative emotion and tapping on the meridians at the same time, the body's energy field is restored to a balanced state.

Subjectively, people feel that the emotion, fear or phobia no longer has a “grip” on them or that the pain is reduced. They therefore feel freer from the influence of these emotions and more able to act successfully.

While EFT has produced remarkable clinical results, it must still be considered to be in the experimental stage. However, validating studies are now underway. Read more about EFT research at: http://www.emofree.com/Articles.aspx?id=22

EFT and Life Coaching are a Great Match
When I started working with EFT I instantly knew that it would revolutionize my coaching practice. As a personal Life Coach I help you uncover problems and issues that hold you back, identify your strengths and values, and then create a plan for achieving your goals.

Using proven Life Coaching techniques at different stages, I help you gain new insights or perspectives, release fears and beliefs, and build new useful habits, and implement your action plan. Click to learn how coaching works

I have found that the most time-consuming stage of coaching is often the release of fears and unhelpful beliefs. EFT has the potential to speed up this process – and make it easier and more successful. You can move through blocks in minutes instead of hours or weeks.

Once EFT has released the blocks, the Life Coaching techniques can be more effective and help you integrate your newly gained insights and behaviors.

Freya’s Personal Experience with EFT
I am still in awe how fast EFT can remove blocks and create a major life change in only one session. Even if I don’t always see this fast response to EFT, I see significant changes that become noticeable after two or three months. I have noticed that issues not directly addressed with EFT also disappear. Gary Craig calls this the “generalization effect” of EFT, where overall emotional balance is increased.

Fear of snakes
I live in a small house in the country, surrounded by farms. Every year in fall non-poisonous snakes find their way into my basement. Once in a while they show up in my kitchen and bathroom. Being from Germany I am not used to snakes and was always very afraid to catch them.

To prevent the scare of having snakes show up in my living area, I go every fall into the basement to catch all the snakes I can find and transport them far away into the fields. For 8 years this has been a task that afforded all the willpower and courage I have. I would go into the basement sweating and with shaking knees.

Thanks to EFT those times are over. I used EFT on my fear of snakes, my reaction to how they move and smell, and the fear of them dropping from the ceiling to the ground. Now I can go into the basement and collect snakes without shaking knees and with only a slightly elevated heart beat!

Public Speaking Fears
In most cases EFT has a positive effect on emotional issues and often can fully dissolve them. For example, I have worked with a student who had a fear of public speaking. After only a single EFT session she was free of the fear and ready to speak in front of strangers, which she did immediately!

Releasing the Need to “Be Perfect”
Some time ago I worked with a client on the issue of “having to be perfect.” I had coached her about the same issue on and off for a year. Once we applied EFT she could finally start to release some of the emotions around being perfect and begin to address other issues that were too challenging before.

Clearing Blocks about Money
I have used EFT on my attitude of scarcity about money. This issue had held back my business for quite a while. I used the EFT process to release the fear of not being able to earn enough money and to move beyond my deep belief that I actually didn’t deserve money. The result was a natural embracing of the concept that abundance of money is natural and appropriate in my life. This has had a huge impact on my business and personal life.

The Energizing Effect of EFT
Another advantage EFT brings to coaching is the energizing effect that often comes with the tapping. EFT can increase your physical and emotional energy, thereby helping you to achieve challenging goals.

Just one session and my public speaking nervousness is GONE!
Good news! I couldn’t have made myself nervous if I tried – and I actually DID try! I went to bed; slept like a log – got up; drove off to the presentation all packed up and organized; got up in front of the group and did not have ONE SECOND of anxiety, hand sweating, muscle twitching, drooling, heart palpitations, sweaty face, shallow breathing, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, nervous stomach, depression, high blood pressure, low blood pressure, fainting, or ANYTHING! HA! Thank you!! You did an awesome job ... and I shared your brochure with 2 people in the group today, too… … This is a wonderful technique and you are the perfect practitioner! --K.C. Seattle

Freya’s Two Hats: Life Coach & EFT Practitioner
Freya, the EFT Practitioner
As a certified EFT practitioner my goal is to help clients release emotional problems such as fear of public speaking, exam anxiety, or physical issues such as headaches, and other body pains. In these cases I use Life Coaching tools to uncover important aspects around the fear that needs to be tapped. Coaching techniques such as deep listening and asking insightful questions help me to be more successful as EFT practitioner.

Some clients sign up after EFT sessions. Once a client loses a long-held fear or belief a whole new world of possibilities opens in front of him/her. Life Coaching can help to leverage these new possibilities into a successful life change. That’s why I offer my EFT clients a Free Introductory Life Coaching Session.

Freya, the Professional Life Coach
As a Life Coach my goal is to help you achieve your goals. During coaching you gain clarity on what you want, develop a vision and set goals. Once you are moving towards your goals I help you identify obstacles (fears, beliefs) that might hold you back.

If issues are very intense and the coaching approach of talking you through that issue becomes time consuming, I use EFT as a fast and painless method to move forward. Once the fear or belief has been released I put my Life Coach hat back on and we make progress on the foundation of greater emotional freedom to open up new possibilities for you.

Please note: My PhD is in human biology where I specialized in cancer research, but I am not a medical doctor, licensed physical or mental health professional, or therapist. My spiritual path has led me to become a trained Life Coach, Advanced EFT Practitioner, and ordained minister interested in techniques that help my clients to live the life they love. If your condition requires the specialized attention of an MD or licensed psychologist, I recommend that you work with an appropriately trained therapist or doctor of your choice.

While EFT has produced remarkable clinical results, it must still be considered to be in the experimental stage and thus practitioners and the public must take complete responsibility for their use of it. Please consult qualified health practitioners regarding any mental or physical health conditions you may have and your use of EFT.
