EFT Tapping has been around since the 1980’s but it is only in the last 7-8 years that really good quality research has been done to show its effectiveness. It has been used to support weight loss by reducing food cravings, anxiety management, general stress reduction and in a therapy setting for trauma treatment for post-traumatic stress-type disorders.
