Emotional Freedom Emotional Freedom TechniqueTechniqueTMTM
Premise:Premise:The cause of all exaggerated or abnormal emotional reactions is a disturbance or blockage in the body’s energy system (Involves subconscious mind and interpretation).
Distorted or blocked energy shows up in the body as some type of distress, disturbance or illness
The Chinese have been telling us this for thousands of years.

Emotional Freedom Emotional Freedom TechniqueTechniqueTMTM
Traditional Psychology:Traditional Psychology:Change your thinking and your emotional response changes. This is difficult to do. (Emotional charge still present). It’s like talking to a pre-recorded tape; there is no mechanism to change it.
This is because neurons that fire together wire together and are not easy to unwire even though the brain exhibits Neuroplasticity. It takes 21 day to change a habit (conditioned response), maybe.

Emotional Freedom Emotional Freedom TechniqueTechniqueTMTM
EFT Psychology:EFT Psychology:Change your emotional response by removing the excess emotional charge and your beliefs/thinking changes as well as behaviors. This is easy to do with EFT. Basically, we erase and reprogram the tape!
There is plenty of evidence that EFT unwires previously wired conditioned responses rapidly and easily.
