Can EFT help me?

After considerable daily experience using EFT by phone for 10 years, it is my opinion that it is difficult to imagine a person who would not receive benefit from Emotional Freedom Technique somewhere in their life – if only in some small or indirect way. To say it another way, I believe that everyone can benefit from EFT; it is simply a matter of what degree improvement will occur. While EFT therapy is not a cure-all, this energy healing therapy is broadly effective for stress relief where most people need help.

The vast majority of the people treated with EFT will experience a noticeable and immediate reduction of emotional stress in regard to the issue that was treated. This can be especially effective in an EFT telephone session. Once we have decided the exact way to apply this energy healing therapy, there is almost always a noticeable change in the negative emotions related to that issue – most of the time considerable or complete relief, and sometimes only partial or very small. Usually, the problem when we reach only a small degree of improvement is due to the limitation of time. I believe that if an individual will allow enough time and repetition for a stubborn or complex problem, EFT will eventually provide considerable or complete relief in most cases. Given enough effort and time, I believe EFT can help even the most difficult issues.

In actual practice in the real world, EFT does not always help every person on every issue, every time. However, it frequently provides positive and lasting benefits to most people on most issues. In addition, it often is able to offer positive and lasting improvement to many people when nothing else has been able to help them.

To answer this most common and basic question, there is no reasonable way to know ahead of time how well – or if – you will respond to EFT. Perhaps the best way to find out if EFT can help a particular challenge for someone is to simply use EFT to learn firsthand what it will do for you.

The only limitation of EFT in helping a person achieve improved emotional and physical health is the limit of the mind to influence these same issues. For this reason, Gary Craig, the founder of Emotional Freedom Technique, suggests that a person should “try EFT on everything!” EFT can assist a wide range of problems, including the following:
