Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Emotional Freedom Technique

EFT basically involves serial tapping on acupuncture points, no needles are used, there is no invasive procedure, there are affirmation suggestions, it is an easy, painless, simple but effective method that can be done in minutes. It is realized by applying kinetic energy to certain meridians on the head and chest with the fingertips. The points where the tapping is done are the end points of the meridians in the body. They are located symmetrically on both sides of the body. Since these points are close to the skin surface, they are points that are more easily reached than the deeper buried parts of the meridians. While applying pressure with the fingertips, the individual needs to focus on the problem that bothers him/her. Another thing that needs to be done at the same time is for the person to make positive suggestions to himself/herself vocally.
