About the EFT Method
The EFT method was developed by Gary Craig in the 1990s. Craig was trained as an engineer and was deeply interested in psychology and in effective methods for treating emotional problems.
EFT is based on the theory that negative emotions and experiences are linked to disruptions in the flow of energy in the body (i.e., electrical impulses). Stimulating specific points on the body while simultaneously focusing on problematic thoughts or emotions is intended to restore energetic balance and facilitate the effective processing of difficult experiences.
Gary Craig made EFT publicly available, which contributed to its widespread adoption as both a self-help tool and a therapeutic method.
