EFT Tapping Therapy

There are no known side effects or risks of acupressure or EFT tapping. It is a safe tool to utilize in clinical settings and by yourself. Individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder are at risk of the tapping sequence becoming a compulsive behavior.

This tool can be used on and by children safely as a way of regulating stress and anxiety. Tapping therapy can be taught as a self-management tool for emotional regulation and positive self-talk. Encouraging children to seek advice and help should the emotions become too distressing or unmanageable is important.

EFT has limitations in terms of processing emotions and trauma. It is a great option for complementary therapy but should not be used as a primary treatment for mental disorders or stress. Evidence surrounding EFT tapping as a viable therapy is little but promising.
