What Does EFT Tapping Stand For?

A common question for those new to the world of EFT Tapping is “What does EFT Tapping stand for?”

So EFT stands for the Emotional Freedom Technique or more accurately, the Emotional Freedom Techniques.

It’s a technique that was founded by Gary Craig in the 1990s,  and Tapping is referencing the process where you tap on acupuncture points on the body. So this is tapping.

Tapping was technically founded by a man named Roger Callahan but was then adopted by Gary Craig, creating the process we now called EFT or EFT tapping.

So that’s what EFT Tapping stands for — The Emotional Freedom Techniques,  Tapping.
