What is the background of EFT?
The presence and flow of energy around the body has been used by many cultures, notably the Indian and Chinese, and EFT is a true combination of Eastern and Western medicine. EFT evolved from Thought Field Therapy, which was created by US clinical psychologist Roger Callahan. Callahan discovered that stimulating acupressure / energy points led to psychological relief for an anxious client, and through experimentation was able to discover a series of useful points. Gary Craig, who studied with Callahan, identified a comprehensive set of “all purpose” energy points that could be applied to treat any emotional problem. He called this Emotional Freedom Technique, and achieved excellent results with this approach on a wide range of emotional as well as physical problems.
