Learn about Tapping/EFT Therapy

Local Organization Scheduled to Give Introduction and Demonstration on Tapping

Tapping for Peace EFT Group Practice will be presenting An Introduction and Demonstration to Tapping/EFT Therapy. EFT/Tapping is a brain based/somatic technique used for the healing of trauma and other stress related issues. It is often described as a combination of ancient Chinese acupuncture (without the needles) and modern psychology.

Eric Leskowitz, MD, Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, stated the following: "Based on my clinical experience and reading of the research literature, EFT/Tapping is the treatment of choice for rapid intervention in traumatic situations like Newtown, that trigger overwhelming emotions in individuals and groups. It's use can prevent the future development of full-blown PTSD by empowering people to develop control over their own nervous systems.

The program will also include a group demonstration and time for questions.
