EFT — often called ‘tapping’ — involves tapping on specific points on the face and body while focusing on a distressing thought or feeling. It’s based on the idea that distress is linked to disruptions in the body’s energy system, and that tapping can restore balance. The evidence base is growing but not yet at the level of CBT or EMDR. Many people find it surprisingly effective for anxiety and phobias, particularly as a self-help tool.
