EFT for Fibromyalgia

With Special Guest: Lauren Fonvielle

EFT — the Emotional Freedom Technique, also known as tapping — has long been recognized as a powerful tool for reducing pain, stress, and emotional trauma. A 2020 study showed that a one-hour group EFT session reduced cortisol production by 43%. EFT can also be an effective pain management strategy that can be used alongside other medications and therapies with no side effects.

Since fibromyalgia is a condition known to keep patients stuck in a state of fight-or-flight, it makes sense to explore tools that can help reduce this overactive fight-or-flight stress response.

Listen in as Tami interviews Lauren Fonvielle, EFT Practitioner and coach, and hear how you can add EFT as a powerful tool in your fibromyalgia toolbox. Be sure to listen through to the end of this episode to hear Lauren’s guided “tap-along” session that you can try for yourself!

Key Points

EFT stands for the Emotional Freedom Technique and is also referred to as tapping.
EFT sends a message to the brain that you’re not in fight-or-flight and can reduce cortisol by up to 40%.
EFT can be used for a wide variety of conditions, ranging from anxiety, stress, and overwhelm to physical conditions and can also help with things like limiting beliefs.
EFT can create space between the trauma that has happened and the experience or the sensation in your body.
When you’re in a state of fight-or-flight the prefrontal cortex goes offline. By reducing the amount of cortisol being produced in your body, EFT can help bring that prefrontal cortex back online.
You can be in pain, but you don’t necessarily have to be in agony. You don’t have to have the emotional component.
