EFT treatment
Acupuncture points, which are stimulated during the EFT treatment, are particular locations on the body that are situated along Meridians through which the life-energy is believed to flow. There are about 400 different acupuncture points and about 20 Meridians, connecting these points. The EFT treatment includes patient rating the emotional intensity of their reaction and then repeating an affirmation while stimulating the specific points on the chest. When this is completed, treatment continues with tapping acupressure points, while the individual repeats the phase out loud. The patient’s emotions are measured using the Likert-type scale that requires from individuals to specify their level of agreement or disagreement using the symmetric scale. Benefits of EFT
