Description

EFT sessions are available to veterans with PTSD, pain and other mental health difficulties who have participated in an SWV programme or are currently taking part in one. ​EFT is an evidence-based treatment method with over 100 clinical studies demonstrating its efficacy for issues including anxiety, depression, and PTSD. It has also been shown to be effective at helping people cope with chronic pain and sleep disturbances. The treatment combines elements of exposure therapy, cognitive therapy, and somatic therapy in the form of 'tapping' with the fingers on acupressure points on the face and body. It is safe, non-invasive, and does not require veterans to revisit their trauma in painful detail – something veterans frequently cite as a benefit of the method. Our sessions take place one-on-one with a qualified practitioner, either in-person or online. Veterans also learn EFT techniques to use outside of sessions when needed to reduce symptoms or improve their daily lives. To apply speak to your SWV Mentor.
