What Is Gold Standard EFT?

Gold Standard EFT: Innovative Treatment With Exposure and Acupressuur
Gold Standard EFT combines exposure therapy with acupressure to effectively address emotional and psychological issues. This technique was developed in the 1990s by Gary Craig, based on Thought Field Therapy (TFT) by Roger Callahan. TFT itself drew inspiration from disciplines like Applied Kinesiology and other methods that explored the relationship between physical complaints, reflex points, and muscle testing. John Diamond, a pioneer in shifting kinesiological techniques toward psychological and emotional problems, laid the foundation for the use of meridians and emotion-focused affirmations in the treatment of stress and trauma.

How Does EFT Work?
EFT works by gently tapping on specific acupressure points while the client focuses on a stressful or traumatic memory. This process stimulates the body’s relaxation response and neutralizes the emotional charge of the memory. By disconnecting the stress response from the original trigger, reconditioning of the amygdala in the limbic system—the part of the brain that regulates emotions—takes place. The result? A remarkably fast reduction in emotional reactions, making traumatic memories neutral and manageable.

Why Choose EFT?
EFT offers a powerful intervention that goes beyond traditional exposure therapy by its unique combination with acupressure. This innovative approach leads to rapid, long-lasting results in treating anxiety, trauma, stress-related issues, and more. The scientific evidence is steadily growing, and EFT is increasingly recognized as an effective, evidence-based treatment.
