Social Anxiety Support

fridays child · 07-16-2009, 02:39 AM

After putting it off for several years, I finally went to a therapist this week. I didn't feel that we connected very well and after my session I did some research on her. I saw that she is associated with these 3 therapies: EFT = Emotional Freedom Technique, BSFF = Be Set Free Fast and TFT = Thought Field Therapy. From the way it sounds, I don't think these would help me and I was curious if anyone else has heard of them before, or have any experience with them.

I'm not familiar with the others, but I do know that EFT is seen as a pseudoscience without any clinical research to back it up:

That's the impression I got as well. I felt a cognitive therapy would be better for me, so I'll keep looking. Thanks.

Definitely keep looking!

It took me a handful of tries before I found one that was right for me, but it was worth it!

EFT works. Very welll, actually. You just need to focus on it and give it a chance.

If you've wanted to know more about EFT and how it's done there's a free online event that will run for 10 consecutive days starting Sunday February 21st at 8 PM Eastern time (U.S.). I'm sure you can jump in late if you don't catch it the first day (today)

Excerpt from site advertisement:
EFT works across the board. This simple meridian tapping
technique can be done one on one, or in a group setting
or YOU can do it - with just yourself.
You will learn everything you need to know about EFT
including self-tapping techniques AND experience group EFT
sessions that can change you in the moment through The
Tapping Summit.

Link=> www.TappingWorldSummit.com.
This is an online virtual audio event. You won't have to make any
phone calls, or download any software to experience the Tapping World
Summit, just connect to the link we have provided for you at the
designated time and days.

What is this? Is someone getting paid to advertise this EFT crap on here? I see all these threads about it here.
