Introduction to Emotional Freedom Techniques

Our community is navigating unprecedented levels of anxiety, stress, and uncertainty. Current research shows that stress has reached epidemic proportions, affecting not only our emotional well-being but also our physical health. Now more than ever, accessible tools for calming the nervous system and restoring balance are essential. Mindfulness and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) are both simple, evidencesupported practices. Yet many people find traditional mindfulness or breathwork difficult to access when they’re overwhelmed. EFT offers a more active, hands-on approach that often feels easier to learn and apply in moments of stress. EFT is a practical stressmanagement method that has been shown to reduce the body’s stress response and support immune function. Developed in the 1970s, it has become one of the most widely researched mindbody interventions for stress, anxiety, and PTSD since 2010. Research consistently demonstrates its effectiveness both as a selfcare practice and, when facilitated by a trained practitioner, as a therapeutic intervention.
EFT—often referred to as “tapping”—involves gently tapping on specific energy meridian points to calm the body’s anxiety response. Think of it as acupuncture without needles. The technique uses nine meridian points on the face and upper body in a simple sequence that can be completed in just minutes.
Participants will:
 Learn EFT techniques for selfcare and improved wellbeing
 Understand the science behind EFT and how it works
 Explore research on its effectiveness for stress, anxiety, trauma, and more
 Experience a guided group tapping demonstration
 Identify next steps for building a personalized stressreduction plan
The heart of this presentation is to strengthen the health and resilience of our community.
