An integrative, body-mind approach for nervous system regulation and symptom relief

Many clients living with chronic pain, fatigue, IBS, or medically unexplained symptoms also carry a history of trauma, medical distress, or emotional overwhelm. Medical EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a gentle, trauma-aware method that can support the emotional and physiological impacts of these experiences.

It’s beneficial when used in an integrative approach alongside EMDR, Flash Technique, and other somatic therapies.

🌿 A Body-Based Approach to Healing

Medical EFT combines mindful language with light tapping on meridian points to help regulate the nervous system and release stress held in the body. Unlike traditional EFT, the medical application emphasises chronic conditions, long-term stress patterns, and the mind-body connection.

This work can help clients gently process:

• The emotional impact of living with pain or illness
• Early life stress, attachment wounds, and complex trauma
• Medical trauma and fear of symptoms or flare-ups
• Feelings of shame, fear, or frustration around the body

🌀 Why I Don’t Start with Self-Tapping

While many versions of EFT are shared as self-help, in my trauma-informed work, we begin by building safety, connection, and resourcing before introducing tapping. Without this foundation, EFT can sometimes evoke overwhelming emotions or bypass the body’s need for stabilisation.

This is especially important for clients with:

• A history of trauma or dissociation
• Nervous system sensitivity (e.g. fibromyalgia, CFS/ME)
• Medical PTSD or health anxiety
• Longstanding issues with emotional overwhelm

🧠 EFT + EMDR & Flash Technique

In my practice, EFT is often woven into EMDR or used alongside the Flash Technique to help:

• Stabilise before deeper trauma processing
• Ease emotional spikes or physical symptoms during sessions
• Support the nervous system’s ability to stay regulated
• Rebuild a more compassionate relationship with the body

EFT offers a grounding rhythm and sensory input that complements the inner work of memory reprocessing.
