How
effective are EFT and TFT?
Who can
holistic health techniques help? Do
the techniques at Advanced Health Services resolve all problems?
|
Energy Meridian-Based techniques come under many names. The most common ones are Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and Thought Field TherapyÔ (TFT). They are a family of healing aids used worldwide by those in the healing professions for restoring emotional balance. This allows you to let go of difficult feelings such as anxiety, fear, guilt, anger, depression and many more. The techniques are also effective in relieving a variety of physical symptoms including pain, headaches and nausea.
Are EFT and
TFT’s effects due to placebo or distraction?
NO.
Placebo effects require some belief in a process. EFT and TFT work despite being a
skeptic. Although the techniques may appear to be distracting, it will not work if in fact
the person is distracted. That is why the person usually repeats a phrase that allows him
to connect to or “tune into” the problem.
What
does “Holistic” mean?
The term
“Holistic” has been around for thousands of years in many different cultures
throughout the world. Holistic Health describes everything that makes up and influences
you as “a whole person.” Our thoughts, feelings, environmental influences, level
of exercise, eating habits, relationships and more, all come together to make who we are
physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually or in other words, “the whole
person.”
Has any research been carried out to document the effectiveness of holistic healing methods?
Studies have been conducted documenting the positive effectiveness of specific energy Meridian-Based techniques using Heart Rate Variability (HRV) equipment. Research is being conducted at Florida State University in the treatment of trauma and anxiety at the “Psychological Stress Research Program.” They’ve been using TFT with outstanding results since 1995. Currently the American Holistic Nurses’ Association has on-going research published monthly on the effectiveness of a variety of alternative healing modalities. There are also many universities, hospitals, and medical schools throughout the U.S. that currently have holistic educational programs in progress.
Are there any negative side effects or discomfort involved when experiencing energy based natural health methods?
By comparison to many other processes, the techniques are quite gentle and rarely have any side effects. They are often combined with or used instead of other procedures because of its gentle nature. The rarely reported side effects have been momentary feelings of dizziness, a brief flushed or tingling sensation in the face or body, or feeling sleepy. The techniques use no instruments nor do they require you to talk at length about your problem.
How
does the cost and time involved using complementary and holistic techniques compare to
traditional therapies?
Traditional
therapies can last years and cost thousands of dollars. Drugs may have unwanted side
effects or other invasive equipment may be involved. Using energy based techniques with a
documented success rate of 85-90% the rapid results are not only impressive, but are
significantly cost effective as compared to traditional therapies. The first session at
Advanced health Services may last up to an hour and a half, with follow-up sessions
lasting about an hour. Currently insurance does not cover the cost of these services, but
at $100.00 per hour, the long-term savings are considerably significant.
