EFT has been developed from the ancient Chinese meridian energy system, and is often referred to “emotional acupuncture” without the needles. It is a psychotherapeutic tool based on a theory that negative emotions are caused by disturbances in the body's energy field and that tapping on the meridians while thinking of a negative emotion alters the body's energy field, restoring it to "balance." EFT can provide relief for many psychological and physical conditions, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, general stress, addictions and phobias.
