In traditional psychotherapies, the wisdom of the physical body is often neglected and overlooked in favor of brain based thoughts and feelings.

EFT is based on the meridian system of Chinese medicine. According to this system, Chi, the energy of life, flows along certain pathways, or meridians, in our body. The premise of EFT is that the body holds emotional memories and patterns that block the flow of chi energy when they have not had the opportunity to be safely discharged or resolved.

Just as a master electrician knows how to find where crossed wires are shorting out the main circuit board in our homes, an energy psychologist can detect where our flow of energy has been short circuited by stress, shock or trauma. Using EFT, the therapist can help break up blockages and realign the flow of energy.

Energy psychology offers us the opportunity to tell our original story while including dreadful and ‘unspeakable’ things that we couldn’t articulate previously. As we do, we clear cellular memory, habits and patterns within our body. Once these patterns have been cleared, we have the opportunity to rewrite a different ending to our story, bringing greater wisdom and understanding of the situation. As we experience the new narrative viscerally, the healing begins.
