Does EFT ever make emotional problems worse? Can EFT cause a person to feel worse?
To Top A Generally, not. However, when there are a great many issues and a great many negative core beliefs, a client’s issues and aspects are so complex that each time one is healed, another soon surfaces, so it may appear as if matters are getting worse. This kind of client can feel lighter at the end of a session and then within hours or days, begin to feel depressed or heavy or in pain again. This pain is not caused by EFT itself but instead by the result of starting to address unresolved issues – this may be a challenge to experience but is also the start of deeper healing.
