Clinical Applications of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) for Anxiety

In this course, Dr. Peta Stapleton (Ph.D.; Professor, Bond University; Chair of Graduate Research) defines EFT as a stress reduction technique which can improve an ever-broadening range of conditions through tapping on eight basic acupuncture points. Stapleton goes over the “basic recipe” for tapping but spends major portions of the lecture summarising the history of research into EFT – with an emphasis on applications to anxiety – and now including numerous meta-analyses and DELPHI studies with experts. She finishes the lecture with the exciting news that the American Psychological Association has approved her to lead an international team to submit an evaluation of EFT for PTSD to be added to their evidence-based list of psychological therapies.
