Emotional Freedom Techniques

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a powerful tool for rapidly eliminating emotional and physical problems. It involves gently tapping on specific acupuncture points in the body. EFT is based on the premise that 85% of the cause of all negative emotions and physical problems is a disruption in the body’s energy system. This class will demonstrate techniques that can then be practiced independently or in groups. Teacher Elaine Chernoff, Ph.D. has been a psychotherapist for 38 years.
