Deep dives
Understanding Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a tapping technique that helps regulate emotional responses and reduce stress. It involves tapping on specific meridian endpoints using two or three fingers, while focusing on negative emotions or thoughts. This action stimulates communication with the amygdala, the brain's alert center, signaling it to calm down and ultimately reducing stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. By facilitating relaxation and promoting positive emotions through the release of serotonin and dopamine, EFT provides a practical tool for emotional regulation, particularly beneficial for children and those experiencing high stress or emotional distress.
