What is Tapping EFT?
by
EFT tapping is a combination of ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology, now known as energy psychology. It’s an easy-to-learn technique that involves “tapping” on the meridian points of the body while repeating statements that help us focus on an issue from which we’re seeking relief.
EFT offered by mental health professionals as part of a holistic mental health treatment plan is covered by most insurance companies who offer mental health coverage. Sessions range in cost from $100 to $200 with an average being $130.
