EFT is based on the concept that the body's energy system, which includes meridians and chakras, plays a crucial role in our emotional and psychological well-being. By tapping on specific points along these meridians, individuals can release blockages and restore balance to their energy system. This, in turn, can help alleviate a range of emotional and psychological issues, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and phobias.
