i tend to find it is very much a case of the subject receiving the treatments ability to be open minded. if the subject thinks it will not help at all then there is very little chance it will be effective. however, in most cases it can work very well to relax the mind and stimulate blood flow. This can lead to pain relief and result in a quicker body healing process which i have personally used. i think it is very effective but can only be part of the treatment, not a one stop fix.

I think you have to have a pretty open mind when trying this therapy. I've been shown how to do it and unfortunately it all seemed a bit too weird for me however I'm sure there are benefits for some people. Not sure whether it has more success for mental or physical problems but it seems to target certain points on the body which are linked to different problems or energies.

EFT (I usually call it 'tapping') is very, very effective. Super simple, and works. Plenty of free information on what it is, how to use it, etc. available online (try Nick Ortner...currently running the - free - 2012 Tapping World Summit). There's usually only one reason why it doesn't work - the same reason any protocol doesn't work - you don't do it.

I have used EFT many times over several years and it always works. It doesn't matter what the problem is, whether physical or emotional. I downloaded a manual a while back. The process is very easy to learn. I like the original treatment best but some people have altered the process and claim good results too.

I've never heard of this technique but I'd be more than interested to know more. I have a son with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and possibly a touch of autism too. He's extremely intelligent but can't work due to the demands of his OCD (consantly washing his hands for one). No matter how effective this treatment might be, it would be up to my son to agree to it. Unfortunately that might be a big problem, he's 32 and doesn't agree to much when it comes to trying treatments.
