EFT in Meudon
EFT, short for Emotional Freedom Technique, combines light tapping on points of the face and upper body with putting what you feel into words. At the Emolution centre, Sophie Wajda has practised it for ten years.
What it involves
EFT was developed in the United States in the 1990s by Gary Craig. It draws on points used in traditional Chinese medicine, stimulated here by simple fingertip tapping.
As you tap, you name the emotion or situation that weighs on you. This combination aims to lower the emotional intensity and help you step back.
Who it's for
- Anxiety, worry, going round in circles.
- Overwhelming emotions: anger, sadness, guilt.
- Fears and apprehension: flying, public speaking, exams.
- Memories that still hurt.
What happens in a session
- You describe what brings you here and rate the intensity of your emotion.
- Sophie guides you through the rounds of tapping, putting words to what you are going through.
- You rate the intensity again and keep going until it drops.
- You leave with the technique so you can practise it on your own.
