Frequently asked questions about Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)

The most frequently asked question is:

1. Does EFT work on ____________? Newcomers to EFT are constantly curious about whether EFT will work for their particular ailment.

Answer. The short answer to this FAQ is Try EFT on everything. This phrase is often repeated by Gary Craig and regular EFT users. However it is not apparent to the EFT newcomer that this amazing healing technique can be used on literally any issue that is causing discomfort, pain, anxiety or illness. When EFT is properly and persistently applied, healing for ANY issue is about 80% likely. EFT has been shown to provide consistent relief for fears, phobias, anxiety, depression, and a list of more than 100 other illnesses and conditions.

An important caution, especially for the novice is to refrain from attempting to apply EFT to yourself or others if severe psychological problems persist. Although EFT is used by psychologists, psychiatrists and mental health professionals, they already have expertise working with people with mental illnesses. Despite your enthusiasm for EFT, and its ability to provide relief to many, do not go where you do not belong.

2. Why didn’t EFT work on ______?

Answer. Often a failure to budge a particular issue is not a failure of EFT, but a need for the EFT practitioner to be more specific. For example, you may be applying EFT to a problem with constant headaches and the headache won’t budge. Instead of applying EFT to “this headache”, try applying EFT to a more specific description of the headaches which includes the origins of the problem. An example of a more specific phrase is “these constant and persistent headaches that began after I was yelled at by my boss”.

If you are having trouble getting to the core of a problem, I suggest ordering the EFT training DVD’s, in which you view dozens of opportunities to witness the “Art of Delivery” of EFT and get ideas for more specific Setup Phrases or consulting with an EFT practitioner. Seasoned EFT practitioners have developed their own art of delivering EFT and often can help you move forward with your healing when you are stuck.

3. How long does it take to do EFT?

Answer. One round of the shortcut version of EFT typically takes about 3 minutes. Sometimes an issue will dissolve with one round of EFT. Sometimes it requires several rounds of EFT to completely eliminate the distress or discomfort around an issue. The key with EFT is to be persistent.
