This integrated approach deals more quickly with anxiety or depression and can also help process severe or long-standing trauma without feeling overwhelmed.
I have over 20 years experience using EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques). This science-based practical technique can directly calm the emotional area of the brain, so combining it with more conventional therapies like CBT and Mindfulness makes them more effective.
