In a world where stress and anxiety are on the rise, many are seeking effective methods to manage psychological challenges. One such method that is gaining ground for its remarkable results is Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). This blog post will explore how EFT, often referred to as «tapping» or mental acupuncture, works and its impact on mental health.
What is EFT?
EFT is a psychological acupressure technique, often referred to as tapping. It combines elements from acupuncture, neurolinguistic programming, energy medicine, and thought field therapy. The method involves tapping lightly on specific meridian points on the body while focusing on a particular emotional stressor or psychological issue.
Fundamental Principles of EFT
The core principle behind EFT is that all negative emotions are due to disturbances in the body’s energy system. By tapping on selected points while thinking about and verbalizing the specific issue, it is claimed that one can restore balance in the energy system, thereby reducing or eliminating the negative symptom.
EFT and Psychological Issues
EFT has proven particularly effective in addressing a range of psychological disorders, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and phobias. What makes EFT appealing is its ability to quickly reduce the emotional impact of memories and incidents that trigger psychological discomfort. This can often be achieved in just a few minutes, and the results are sometimes permanent.
Research Support for EFT
Several studies have supported the effectiveness of EFT. Research indicates that tapping can reduce the production of cortisol, a stress hormone, and increase the production of serotonin, a well-being hormone, contributing to a sense of calm. Furthermore, clinical trials have shown that EFT can be as effective as traditional therapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy, in treating certain psychological conditions.
Personal Stories and Testimonials
The most powerful affirmations of EFT’s effectiveness often come from personal stories and testimonials. Many people from around the world have shared their experiences on how EFT has helped them overcome serious psychological issues and led to significant life improvements. These stories not only underline the method’s potential but also provide hope to those who are still struggling.
Concluding Thoughts
In the quest for better mental health, it is important to keep an open mind about alternative treatments like EFT. While it is not a «one-size-fits-all» solution, EFT has proven to be a valuable method for many seeking peace and emotional freedom. By integrating traditional and modern therapeutic techniques, we can open the doors to new, effective ways to heal. As we continue to explore and understand the influence of energy-based therapies, we can potentially revolutionize the way we treat psychological disorders, offering pathways to peace for those in need.
In this blog post, we have looked at how EFT works, its scientific basis, and personal success stories. It becomes clear that while more research is needed to fully understand and verify EFT’s effectiveness, it offers a promising alternative for those seeking relief and healing in their mental health struggles.
If you talk or understand Norwegian, you can listen to my podcast about the topic.
Change is everywhere. It’s inevitable in both work and life. But why do we resist something that is so natural? Our brain loves comfort – it’s an expert at exaggerating threats and convincing us to stay put. But what if we could learn to embrace change?
Why Do We Resist Change? It’s not because we’re lazy. It’s because of uncertainty. Our reptilian brain is hardwired to keep us safe, not happy. Change feels like a threat, even when it’s an opportunity to grow.
How to Approach Change with Curiosity:
Small Steps Lead to Big Results: Start by switching one habit – your toothpaste, your route to work, or say «yes» to something you’d normally say «no» to. Small choices can lead to significant transformations over time.
Make Your Brain Less Dramatic: When your brain screams «CHAOS!» – breathe. Ask yourself: What’s the worst that can happen? Write down one thing you can learn from the situation.
Remember the Butterfly Effect: Even the smallest actions can have massive consequences. Maybe it’s time to test a tiny change and see how it ripples through the rest of your life.
Conclusion: Change doesn’t have to be scary. It can be innovative, inspiring, and even fun. Take a small step outside your comfort zone today – you never know what might happen!
In today’s digital age, the field of coaching has transcended traditional boundaries, moving from face-to-face interactions to dynamic online environments. At Nomad Coaching, we’ve embraced this shift, and in our latest podcast episode titled «Success in Online Coaching,» we explore the ins and outs of making this transition not just workable, but successful. This blog post delves deeper into the themes discussed in the episode, offering insights and practical advice for aspiring and established online coaches alike.
1. Embracing Technology: The first step to successful online coaching is embracing the technology that makes it possible. From selecting the right platforms for video calls to utilizing tools for scheduling and client management, technology is the backbone of digital coaching. However, it’s not just about using these tools, but mastering them to enhance interaction and ensure a seamless coaching experience.
2. Clear Communication: Effective communication is critical, especially when physical cues are absent. Online coaches need to hone their verbal and written communication skills to ensure clarity and understanding. Setting clear expectations and regular check-ins can help maintain open lines of communication and keep both coach and client aligned with the goals.
3. Building Trust Online: Perhaps the biggest challenge in online coaching is building and maintaining trust without face-to-face interactions. Successful online coaches are adept at creating a sense of presence and reliability that reassures clients. This involves being consistent, punctual, and responsive, and providing a secure and confidential environment for clients to share openly.
4. Customizing Coaching Methods: Online coaching should not be a one-size-fits-all approach. Tailoring your coaching methods to fit the individual needs of each client is essential. This might mean adjusting your techniques based on the client’s personality, preferences, and the specific obstacles they face in their personal or professional lives.
As we navigate the complexities of online coaching, the opportunity to reach a global audience and make a significant impact in their lives grows. By mastering technology, enhancing communication skills, building trust, and customizing our approach, we can achieve great success in this new coaching frontier.

I have been struggling for how to reach my audience and wondering if it’s important to have as many followers as possible or what.
The first thing they all say is that you have to start by understanding who you’re audience are and optimizing your profile to appeal directly to them. Ok, but when you have private people, businesses, schools/universities it’s not that easy.
And then they say that I should have a focus on creating high-quality, consistent content and actively engage with your followers through comments and user-generated content. Well I am doing my best here…
So I did something that many recommend, I asked IA, and wow what an answer. I was kind of blown away…
In seconds I had Defind my goals and objectives, had an audience analysis, content strategy/pillar, a posting schedule, a hashtag strategy and an engagement strategy. So I promise to do it and become better, also in here in my blog.
