The emotional freedom technique (EFT) is successful for physical pain and emotional distress. EFT is sometimes referred to as psychological acupressure. People who use this technique believe tapping the body can create a balance in your energy system and treat pain. I use this technique when a sudden attack of anxiety occurs.

EFT is a successful practice for anxiety, depression, phobias, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). There is an element of surprise when some of those disorders happen. EFT is an excellent practice to help you when suddenly you are attacked by something or someone that triggers you.
