Psychotherapist Viv Fogel introduces us to Emotional Freedom Technique, a gentle, non pathologising and empowering way of working.

Challenging the culture of diagnosis & disorder!

All of our contributors are allies who are concerned about the medicalisation of emotional distress. We do not offer a platform to pathologising ideas and language.

- because labels don't tell truthful stories.

EFT (emotional freedom technique)is a profoundly effective self-regulating and user-friendly resource which involves tapping on various acupoints on the body to allow a flow and release of blocked tension or stuck energy. It is combined with affirming and intentional statements, breath-work and visualisation. Unlike other psycho-energetic methods that need to be ‘done to’ the person by a practitioner, EFT can be self-applied. It is used by teachers in schools and health practitioners, internationally for trauma work, or where language may be barrier, and is gaining mainstream recognition and acceptance.Practising EFT starts to facilitate cognitive shifts: limiting beliefs, phobias and some physical conditions can ease and change. A simple EFT demo, exercise and practice will be included in this introduction – so that you will hopefully experience the benefits.Deceptively simple as EFT appears to be, (even children can learn this) there is a science behind tapping and recent research links, evidence and training info will be included.<h3> </h3> Viv Fogel is a UKCP Psychotherapist &amp; Supervisor (Psychosynthesis) and EFT International (EFTi reg.)
