The Genius of Clinical EFT is: (Negative thinking) You can pull up what bothers you And turn it off—on purpose! You can do it with focus and intention, using acupressure points which connect millions of neurons, throughout your body. Here’s how we do this…

FIRST -- Identify your Specific Issue Types of issues that often Respond to Clinical EFT: Physical issue or pain Bothersome memory Food Craving Addictive Craving Phobia Anxiety, depression Work related stressors ….and many more

Name and Rate & Rate the Issue ASK, “If I really got into this issue (name it…) How much would it bother me right NOW? » Rate: from 0 – (in this case, no “pain”) to 10 – (pretty intense pain)

Tap Side of Hand 3 times, using the “Karate Chop Point” …While stating the Issue (Acceptance of the problem is a key concept) “Even though I have this… (name the specific issue.)” (Include Where, When and Who) “I honor and respect myself and how I feel” Be sure to give your issue a very specific name. This is essential to working the intensity down Effectively!

Set Up and Reminder Phrases 1.Choose a specific emotion or physical discomfort to address. 2.Test the intensity of the emotion/physical discomfort (0-10, no discomfort to extreme discomfort (10)). 3.Create a name or title for your issue. 4.Create your Set-Up statement. 5.Tap on your points using your Reminder Phrases. 6.Re-test the intensity of the problem 7.Begin the Set-up sequence: Tap on the KC point saying, “Even though I still have some of this anxiety…or sharp pain between my shoulder blades, I deeply and completely accept myself.” Do this three times. 8.Repeat the Reminder Phrases as you tap through each point (TH through UA). 9.Repeat these steps until you have worked each emotional aspect to 0. As you proceed you may uncover multiple emotions to address.

Tap face and body points Use 1 or 2 hands, on either side of the body, as you are most comfortable. Top of the Head TH Eyebrow EB Side of the Eye SE Under the Eye UE Under Nose UN Chin Point Ch Collarbone CB Under the Arm UA (four inches below armpit)
