​EFT provides an opportunity to work with an emotionally charged experience while processing it in a way that is not overwhelming to the nervous system.  What might normally elicit a fight/flight sympathetic response is experienced in a more regulated way; with this is the potential for new learning, as the original conditioned response is replaced by a re-conditioned or new response. Through neuroplastic re-wiring of the brain, there can be a change to how thoughts, memories, sensations and patterns of behaviors are processed and experienced.
