Ways to Try EFT
An EFT session is something of a combination of instruction, coaching and therapy. At it's most basic even newcomers can sometimes get spectacular results when they download a basic instruction manual for free and experiment on themselves. At the other end of the spectrum, guided by the shining example of Gary Craig, EFT's founder, Master EFT Practitioners have trained for hour upon hour over years refining the art of its use. Highly trained Master and Level 3 EFT Practitioners provide a wonderful resource for those with issues that are more complex or seem initially not to respond, or for those who prefer to have the support and guidance available from a practitioner trained in the many varied applications of EFT and trained in getting to core issues that may be buried or masked by layers of issues ('aspects', in EFT terminology). So you can teach yourself from manual, book or CD, learn at a one-to-one session with a practitioner, or attend a workshop. If you don't fancy working on your issues on your own and can't afford a session or two with a practitioner, you and a close friend could learn EFT together and work as 'EFT buddies', maybe occasionally checking in with a practitioner for guidance. Whichever way you choose, you have the chance to acquire a skill for life that can change your life.
So, to get started you could:
- Download a free instruction manual, then experiment on your own, all for free
- Email me to request a free MSPowerPoint instruction slideshow, then experiment on your own, again all for free!
- Phone or email me to make an appointment for an instruction session, then carry on alone
- Do any of the above together with a good friend, then help each other
- Attend an EFT Self-Help Workshop or EFT Level 1 Course
You might find the videos below help you with either of the first two choices above. These provide an introduction to EFT and the tapping points, but do be aware that there is much more you can achieve and learn through direct contact with an experienced practitioner.

EFT Sessions
Phone or email me to make an appointment for one-to-one EFT instruction followed by coaching/therapy either in person in South Molton, North Devon, UK or over the phone. Such is my confidence in EFT that I offer a money-back guarantee on the first session - if you at the end of the session feel that EFT holds absolutely nothing for you, I will not charge for the session. I do this because EFT will seem very new and unusual to those with no prior experience of meridian energy techniques and you may be hesitant to make a financial commitment, worried whether you will be wasting your money - with my first session money-back guarantee you can try out a session safe in the knowledge that if at the end of the session you were to feel that you wouldn't be able to benefit in any way from EFT you need not pay. So why not give it a try; you have nothing to lose! (and much to gain!!)
DIY EFT or EFT with a Practitioner?
The basic EFT technique is extremely simple and safe, and a great self-help tool. Complete novices can work on themselves or their family applying the ‘basic recipe’ to both emotional and physical issues and regularly experience success rates as high as 50%. However, there is more to EFT than knowing the tapping points and how to construct simple statements. There are many refinements and application skills, which an expert (Level 3 or Master) EFT Practitioner will have spent much time acquiring through both study and practical experience. Typically, success rates when doing EFT with such a practitioner range from 85% upwards.
Therefore if apparently unsuccessful, avoid blaming EFT as a therapy. Lack of results could well reflect your personal level of skill and experience. There is a good chance that working with an experienced EFT practitioner will help you. This need not be expensive (most people who choose to work with a practitioner achieve a major health or performance goal within 1-4 sessions), but will certainly be a worthwhile investment in your future. If you are considering using EFT to deal with any major trauma, long-standing, deep-seated or complex emotional issue, you are advised to do so with the guidance of a suitably trained and qualified practitioner and to be aware that EFT is just as likely to work subtly over time as to provide the one-minute wonder that it has become famous for with simpler issues. Persistence in such instances is vital - you may need the encouragement a practitioner can provide.
There are even reasons why experienced EFT practitioners often choose to work with another practitioner on complex issues of their own, or when they feel stuck.
Here are a few.
- The user’s ability to tune into the problem is the most important factor for success. The 'art of delivery' of the EFT practitioner is in asking questions that lead to the core emotional issues and an experienced practitioner has appropriate training and, as an outsider, is better placed to achieve this.
- Practitioners also know extra tapping points and techniques to help in more difficult cases.
- In cases of overwhelming emotions like severe trauma and abuse, it is advisable to work with an experienced EFT practitioner who can use gentle approaching techniques as well as other skills, and be available to reassure.
- Practitioners can see issues from a third (outsider) perspective.
- It is very healing when someone else sees the beauty in you that you cannot see from where you are.
- Combining the energy and intention of two people that are sharing a single purpose (practitioner and client) has a more powerful effect.
- Sometimes just the fact that a practitioner is tapping on you can make a difference.
- You might just have had enough of tackling your problems on your own and want help from someone who is able to help and support you whilst you recover your own strength and motivation
