Technique where a practitioner or caregiver taps on themselves with intention for a person unable to practice EFT directly: infants, young children, sedated patients, animals, or distant persons.
EFT protocols specifically adapted by age group — from tapping games with 4-7 year olds to adolescent empowerment — to reduce school anxiety, phobias, trauma, and improve self-esteem.
EFT protocols adapted for perinatal care: pregnancy (nausea, prenatal anxiety, tokophobia), birth preparation, labor pain management, and postpartum (baby blues, postpartum depression, birth trauma). EFT is non-invasive, medication-free, and can be self-applied. Based on Chatwin et al. (2016) and Stapleton et al. (2019).
Group protocol where each participant taps simultaneously on their own problem while a volunteer works with the therapist, generating shared therapeutic benefits through resonance effect.
EFT-tapping adapted for couples work: mirror tapping, surrogate tapping, forgiveness protocol and relational trigger treatment. Not to be confused with Sue Johnson's EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy). Applications for recurring conflicts, communication problems, infidelity, jealousy, desire loss and co-dependency.
