Emotional Freedom Technique

EFT Tapping Therapy in Columbus, OH 

Calm your body. Clear emotional blocks. Create space for change.

When emotions feel stuck or overwhelming, your body often holds the tension. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), or tapping, is a gentle, body-based approach that helps release emotional distress by calming the nervous system and shifting limiting patterns.

At The Purple Tree, we use EFT as part of an integrative, trauma-informed therapy process. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, or compulsive patterns, tapping can support emotional regulation and help you reconnect with a greater sense of ease and clarity.

What Is EFT Tapping?

EFT is a somatic technique that combines gentle tapping on acupressure points with verbal statements that acknowledge distress, emotions, or beliefs. This process helps:

• Regulate the nervous system

• Decrease emotional overwhelm

• Reduce anxiety, shame, or trauma responses

• Shift stuck beliefs or internalized messages

• Promote a felt sense of calm and self-connection

 Tapping can be a stand-alone approach or used alongside therapies like EMDR, DBT, and trauma-informed talk work depending on your needs and goals. 

When EFT Might Help

• You feel overwhelmed or emotionally flooded

• You can’t “think your way out” of anxiety or shame

• Trauma memories feel stuck in your body

• You get stuck in self-blame, fear, or avoidance

• You’re looking for tools to feel more grounded between sessions

 What Clients Often Experience

• A sense of movement where you once felt stuck
