What is EFT?

EFT or Emotional Freedom Techniques are a proven way to make direct contact with the bodies stored energy fields also known as meridian points. There is a direct connection between our physical bodies and our minds, as the mind strongly has the ability to affect our health. An example of this would be an individual who suffered a heart attack as a direct result of feeling stressed out emotionally. Our bodies are a clutch of complex muscle groups and energy fields (meridian points), and often our minds will connect an emotion to an experience or memory, and the negative emotion will become stored if there is a disruption between the time it occurs and the brain fails to file it away into the subconscious mind. The individual is then consequently left with emotions or feelings that can be disruptive and reoccurring throughout their lives. EFT can assist the dilution of negative thoughts and emotions by applying pressure (gentle tapping with fingers) to the negative emotion to be dispersed accordingly. EFT is an extremely useful and powerful tool and is pain free and quick. It can be used for a myriad of problematic factors, and is especially profound when administered in conjunction with hypnosis.

What is EMDR?

EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization Reprogramming is a tool used by experienced therapists to realign the brains memory fields for a more desired outcome. It can be used to eradicate emotional trauma in memory for example rape cases and Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. The client is not required to articulate verbally their distress when recalling a difficult memory, which in itself can be of great comfort to a client who would otherwise feel uncomfortable verbalising their pain again to a therapist, instead all that is required is that they follow the instructions and guidance of the therapist and connect their emotional experience through visualisation only. EMDR for me is without doubt one of the most profound and immediate therapies and is especially accurate for the dispersment of Phobias and exceptional traumatic events. The brain will link the event and the memory together continually presenting a detrimental feeling or emotion for an individual to experience in a reoccurring manner. EMDR works by realigning the brain to separate the emotion and the memory successfully so that although the memory will remain for the individual (that is that they will not simply forget it), the nasty part – the emotion, will be neutralised, and so the individual can then experience a relief from their negative emotion.
