Cautions
EFT is a safe procedure with no known negative side-effects, but the following sensible cautions are advised:
- Although EFT can frequently reduce or eliminate both emotional and physical issues, do not discontinue or alter any existing medication without first consulting your doctor.
- EFT should never be used as a substitute for physical medical care. Physical conditions require examination by a qualified medical professional.
- People at risk of severe psychological disturbance, including but not limited to schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, dissociative disorder, clinical OCD or PTSD, are strongly advised to consult with their therapist or doctor before using EFT.
- EFT can have a relaxing or sedating effect which varies with the individual. While this effect is experienced as positive and calming, you are advised not to carry out EFT in situations where full mental alertness is required.
- People with epilepsy may prefer not to use the tapping form of EFT since the rhythmic nature of the tapping may in theory be an epileptic trigger. Touching or gently massaging the points is an alternative for people with this concern.
