When I met Danielle, I was a total unbeliever. I have a herniated disc in my spine for which I am on pain medication at all times. With two young children and a busy schedule, I often find myself overwhelmed by pain anyway, and I was very cynical about how tapping on my head could change anything. Even as Danielle began the treatment, I planned to be politely appreciative, but secretly unaffected. What happened in my body shocked me. The relief was extreme and undeniable. I went without medicine for hours, and felt completely relaxed and elated. She is amazing. I cannot explain why it happened, or what she did, but I have no more doubts about it.

When I began my sessions with Danielle, I never thought I would learn as much as I did. She was touching on things I believed buried. It was emotional, at times painful, but by the end of that first session, I knew I would never feel secondary again. EFT was amazing! She taught me how to control my cravings of food, my anxiety and distrust of men in my life. I learned how to forgive myself and others. In such a short time, I learned so much. It was so easy! This technique - Emotional Freedom. So quick to do...you can change absolutely any facet of your life! I cannot thank her enough. I HIGHLY recommend Danielle and EFT to EVERYONE I come in contact with!

I have lost more than 40 pounds since I began working with Danielle. It was so easy and effortless. I have spent most of my life on one diet or another and NOTHING has been as effective at helping me lose the weight and then maintain the results as hypnosis has been.

I have tried to quit smoking many times in the past 25 years. It is amazing to me how effective hypnosis has been. I have not picked up a cigarette in over 3 years!

We are still learning why EFT works so well. It centers around the profound effects of the subtle energies of the body using the theory that "the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the energy system of the body." Accordingly, EFT is an emotional form of acupuncture except that we do not use needles. Instead, we tap with the fingertips to stimulate certain meridian energy points while the client is "tuned in" to the problem.
The subtle energies that circulate throughout the body have been largely ignored (until recently) by western scientists. As a result, our use of them for emotional and spiritual healing has been sparse at best. With EFT, however, we consider these subtle energies to be the front running cause of emotional upsets. As a result, we generate results that are FAR beyond those of conventional methods.
Further, EFT often provides relief for a very wide range of physical symptoms. This, too, is abundantly clear in the case histories which provide unmistakable evidence of the link between our physical ailments and our emotional issues.
EFT is a Doorway to the new Healing High-Rise. It is where a growing number of newcomers to this exciting field get their start. We now have thousands of practitioners using EFT throughout the world.
What exactly is EFT?
EFT is a unique form of psychological acupuncture that uses the ancient Chinese meridian system to relieve psychological stress and physiological pain. EFT balances the energy system with a tapping procedure, which stimulates designated meridian endpoints on the face and body. Restoring the balance of the energy system neutralizes emotional conflicts at their source, which then allows the body and mind to resume their natural healing abilities. EFT is safe, easy to apply, and is non-invasive.
Designed by Gary Craig, a personal performance coach in California, EFT belongs to a new class of treatments referred to as Energy Psychology. Gary has dedicated his work and life to teaching people how to overcome emotional and physical blocks to success and has been emotionally, spiritually and financially generous with his discoveries. EFT is one of the most effective, efficient, gentle treatment techniques I have come across.
Over 5000 years ago in ancient China, it was discovered that our bodies have meridians, or pathways, through which energy (Chi) flows. It was also observed that when there is an imbalance or blockage in the flow of Chi within the meridians, different types of emotional disturbances appear along with their corresponding mental issues or problems.
In the past 10-20 years the work of several researchers, most notably Dr. Roger J. Callahan and Gary Craig, has proven that the reverse is equally true; that when the energy in the meridians is brought back into balance, the emotions are integrated and restored to their natural state of balance.
Incredible as it may seem, every dis-empowering, negative belief or negative context that we hold is connected with a corresponding imbalance in our energy system and a resulting negative emotion. Correcting the imbalance in the energy system releases the emotion AND the negative belief at the same time.
In simplest terms, EFT is an emotional form of acupuncture except that we do not use needles. Instead, we tap with the fingertips to stimulate certain meridian points while the client is tuned in to the problem. We are still learning why EFT works so well. The existing theory is that the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the energy system of the body.
The subtle energies that circulate throughout the body have been largely ignored (until recently) by western scientists. As a result, our use of them for emotional and spiritual healing has been sparse at best. With EFT, however, we consider these subtle energies to be the front running cause of emotional upsets. As a result, we generate results that are FAR beyond those of conventional methods.
As people experience EFT, most report a profound easing of stress-producing emotions like anxiety and fear, anger and frustration, sadness, even cravings. EFT involves a simple process of tapping on stress-relief points; actually acupuncture points, on the body as we talk about your issue. You do the tapping yourself and, as you learn to tap away the negative emotional charge, you will have a very effective tool to help yourself and others.
Many people are able to go deeper into their issues as EFT peels the layers of the onion and at those levels, real transformation can take place. You may be aware that certain situations tend to upset you. It is as if we have emotional wiring programmed into us from prior experiences. EFT helps us rewire the emotional patterns within so that we are no longer triggered in painful ways. It is literally emotional freedom to feel different, lighter, less burdened by the past, less susceptible to reacting with painful emotion.
Another advantage of EFT is that sessions can be very successfully done over the phone. You can experience this healing work in the convenience of your home, and phone sessions can often be more easily scheduled than office visits, especially if you live at a distance. [Top]
How does it work?
One of the most appealing things about EFT is its simplicity. Even a child can learn it in minutes. You learn one simple tapping process, and no matter what is bothering you, chances are you will feel less bothered after tapping for it. Many times the negative feelings about a specific issue completely resolve and you cannot get them back. Phobias, for example, often lift entirely and people cannot experience the old fear even if they try.
What is at the root of most of our blockages, problems and stress? It is our negative emotion-fear, anger, anxiety, discomfort, resentment, depression, hopelessness, and so forth. As you experience EFT, it feels like letting the air out of the balloon so that you collapse the intensity of the negative emotions, and as you do, you feel more peaceful and centered, see things more clearly and can make better choices.

The EFT process is simple:
While holding a problem in mind and feeling the feelings associated with that problem (tuning in to it), you tap with your fingers on specific acupuncture points. This opens the meridians and balances your energy.
EFT, used in conjunction with hypnotherapy is an extremely successful technique. The tapping process can be used with clients who are in hypnosis. Once the emotional charge is released, they are asked to imagine themselves in the future free of this emotional intensity. They often see themselves behaving in completely new, emotionally healthy ways. Because the subconscious mind does not differentiate between visualization and reality, the emotional freedom they have imagined can become the natural way of being for this person. [Top]

What is impressive about EFT?
Effective - EFT reduces emotional and physical pain by at least half more than 90% of the time and eliminates the pain of the specific issue completely about 70% of the time.
Rapid - Most problems are eliminated in anywhere from one to three sessions of 60 to 90 minutes. Some are gone within the first few minutes.
Non-invasive - You or the therapist tap(s) gently on specific points on your face, upper body, and hand. No drugs, no surgery, no equipment, no pain.
Gentle - You do not have to revisit an experience to heal its effects. EFT works even if you are unwilling or unable to describe an issue or event.
Long lasting - The benefits of EFT are often permanent from a single session.
Inclusive - EFT does not conflict with any other forms of treatment of any kind. There are no side effects or contraindications.
Portable - You learn basic forms of EFT in the session, to use for the issue that brought you to the session or for anything else.
Universal - EFT works with all ages, and even with animals.
And most of all, EFT works in the real world. [Top]
The fact that you can do the Emotional Freedom Technique on yourself anywhere, everywhere - all it takes is a few minutes and your own hands - makes EFT remarkable in all ways in psychology and self-help.
Without very little training, you really can use EFT to help yourself in moments of doubt and fear, in the middle of the night, or when you are on your own. [Top]
