Emotional Freedom Technique
The emotional freedom technique is a common approach to treat PTSD. In a series of many sessions, you will learn how to tap some rhythms on your collarbones, face, head, and hands while actively reframing the memories of the trauma. This procedure is usually applied with exposure and cognitive therapies. Many studies have suggested that the emotional freedom technique can be effective in alleviating symptoms of PTSD, such as pain, depression, and anxiety. It is possible to use tapping on your own. However, it is better to work with a licensed, trained therapist to ensure effectiveness. [3]
