Chronic pain is more than “just pain.” We usually try to address the physical pain itself with medicine and physical interventions, but often it also is important to address the emotional challenges that the pain creates in our lives.

The emotional ramifications can be overwhelming when chronic pain not only affects our ability to move or think straight, but also affects our relationships, performance at work, what we can eat, or even our ability to get up or leave the house. Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) may be able to help you manage how chronic pain affects you, as well as help reduce the pain itself.

EFT is well known for quickly and efficiently helping people reduce or eliminate issues that affect their life. EFT (a.k.a., “Tapping”) is a gentle process that involves using your fingertips to tap acupuncture points on your head, face and torso while thinking about a specific problem/issue.

This process helps not only the body’s meridian energy system to rebalance, but also the brain to rewire its typical patterns and responses to emotional or physical issues, bringing relief and healing to those issues. EFT can be practitioner guided or done as a self-help method, and may bring long lasting relief and change to feelings, thoughts, memories, and physical challenges.

Scientific research continues to demonstrate EFT’s effectiveness for a wide variety of conditions including reductions in physical pain, anxiety, emotional stress, depression, PTSD, food cravings/weight loss issues, phobias and more. In fact, over 100 scientific papers about EFT have been published in peer-reviewed medical and psychology journals that include over 50 randomized controlled trials, 5 meta analyses, outcome studies, and review articles (https://www.efttappingtraining.com/eft-research/).
