The Proof that Tapping Works!

The Emotional Freedom Technique: Finally, a Unifying Theory for the Practice of Holistic Nursing, or Too Good to Be True?

 Abstract

The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is defined and described as a clinical procedure for the relief of psychological and physical distress that patients often bring to the attention of nurses. Frequently referred to as "tapping," this technique combines the cognitive reprocessing benefits of exposure and acceptance therapy with the energetic disturbance releases associated with acupuncture and other energy therapies. More than 60 research articles in peer-reviewed journals report a staggering 98% efficacy rate with the use of this procedure from psychological distress (posttraumatic stress disorder, phobias, anxiety, depression, etc.) to physical conditions (asthma, fibromyalgia, pain, seizure disorders, etc.) to performance issues (athletic, academic). Perhaps because of this, this technique has encountered a fair degree of skepticism within the health care community. Easily taught as a self-help aid that patients can administer to themselves, EFT becomes an efficacious tool in the hands of nurses who are seeking whole person approaches for the healing of a wide variety of psychological and physical conditions. A conceptual framework, mechanisms of action, evidence of safety, literature review, and case studies are also included.

Further Evidence

To date there have been many high quality studies done by scientists who have seen the benefits of Tapping and have pushed to prove its effectiveness (efficacy) to the world and provide some very impressive results. 

Dawson Church has been one of the leaders in pushing this and produced a comprehensive report available at this link -

This extensive article concludes: 

1) It reduces symptoms for a variety of psychological conditions including phobias, PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

2) It improves physical symptoms such as pain, and autoimmune conditions such as psoriasis and fibromyalgia.

3) It aids in reducing cravings and promoting weight loss.

4) It produces physiological regulation of the autonomic nervous system and the HPA axis.

5) It can simultaneously reduce a range of psychological conditions, e.g., diminishing anxiety and depression along with PTSD.

6) It can simultaneously reduce both psychological and physiological problems, e.g., fibromyalgia or TBI concurrent with PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

7) It is safe, both when self-administered and when administered by others.

8) It is efficient and cost effective, showing efficacy when delivered to both groups and individuals.

9) It works quickly. Treatment time frames range from one session for phobias to six sessions for PTSD.

10) Early evidence points to its efficacy when it is delivered online.

11) It can play a useful part in early intervention following human-caused and natural disasters.
