August 27, 2026 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Emotional Freedom Techniques (also known as EFT orTapping) can help you. In an EFT session, you focus your thoughts on something that has upset or caused your emotional distress. Then you gently tap on certain facial and upper body acupressure points (no needles)!. This quickly and effectively reduces the emotional intensity related to that experience, thereby reducing stress levels which promotes clearer thinking and peace of mind.
