The Tapping Lotus

Clinical EFT is a Psychophysiological stress reduction technique that uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Prolonged Exposure therapy; It is considered an Energy Psychology modality.

The original Energy Psychology was called TFT – Thought Field Technique developed  by Dr. Roger Callahan in the 1980s'. He developed it from an Ancient Meridian Energy body Map (Mary). In the 1990’s Gary Craig developed TFT into Classic EFT – Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) also known as Tapping. EFT fundamentally combines ancient Chinese Medicine and modern psychology principles. 

Clinical EFT is a practical body/mind self-help method – a process of mindful and intentional tapping (gently, with fingertips) on acupuncture meridian end-points on the face and upper body. For this reason, EFT/Tapping is considered acupuncture without the needles and is a stress reduction technique.

 A Clinical EFT intervention utilizes the same pathways/channels found in traditional Chinese energy medicine, while also capitalizing on our ability to think about or "tune-in" to our problem or issue in proactive ways.

• Clinical EFT is a bridge between talk therapy and body (somatic) therapies, and a way of calming the brain’s stress response.
• Clinical EFT is a more accessible version of EMDR , which is a therapist guided model.
• Clinical EFT can be self-applied as well as a tool used by therapist and coaches with-in sessions.
• Clinical EFT or “tapping” is easy to learn and flexible enough to be used by anyone. It can allow us to transform the way we respond to uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, and troubling memories, (with pain, tension or stress, for example). Whether it is used alone or together with an experienced certified practitioner, EFT/Tapping can bring surprising lasting relief, and change the energy we bring to any life situation.

Matrix Reimprinting (MR) was developed by Karl Dawson in 2010 evolving from EFT Tapping and quantum physics. MR incorporates some familiar components of "parts-work"  or  Internal Family Systems (IFS) along with Clinical EFT.

Matrix Reimprinting (MR) is a new EFT technique to change your relationship to your past and dramatically transform your physical and emotional health in the present.

Matrix Reimprinting evolved from Clinical EFT/Tapping and quantum physics. It's referring to the energy field that we are all connected with. This is an effective technique that facilitates us to enter past events and transform the beliefs formed during traumatic events. Changing these pictures creates both physical and emotional healing and enables us to manifest goals and attract more positive experiences into our lives. By altering remembered thoughts, we can liberate ourselves from anxiety, fear, obsessive-compulsive-disorder, addictions, and more.

Picture Tapping Technique (PTT) was developed by Philip Davis and is a new application of Emotional Freedom Technique. It's equally as gentle and a highly effective fusion of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and art based work. 

PTT is a technique that uses Meridian Tapping along with the power of metaphor and the imagination, to release problems in a painless and indirect way. 

Because the PTT uses metaphor and symbols it often allows access to aspects, thoughts and memories that may be difficult to express either verbally or by using other modalities. 

Clients are frequently amazed and delighted at the way things are painlessly resolved and the connections between events and issues that are brought-to-light.

In PTT the pictures are hand drawn by the client. No artistic ability is required!  Anyone that can hold a pen or crayon and scribble can do it. 

This technique has nothing to do with photographs.  The use of hand drawings allows direct access to the subconscious - where it's believed all issues are stored and their healing takes place. 

Adults as well as children of all ages love to use this technique because drawing is something that anyone can do, and it means they don't have to verbalize their issue or problem. This can be particularly useful when the issue is embarrassing or taboo.
