My Gentle Caution While the results shown on this website are extraordinary, there is no assurance that others will have the same experience.

Emotional Freedom Technique is still considered an experimental modality but personally I haven’t experienced any side effects when applying these techniques providing treatment protocols and suggestion have been followed.

However, this doesn’t mean that you won’t experience or perceive negative or unpleasant side effects. Therefore, we ask that you take note of the following:
  • Always use common sense when using EFT on yourself and do not go beyond your personal ability
  • You agree to accept full responsibility for your own emotional and physical wellbeing when using EFT.
  • Don’t attempt to treat deep or serious issues on yourself or others without appropriate formal training in Emotional Freedom Technique or with/and correct medical advice and assistance.

Panic Attacks

EFT can assist a person experiencing panic attacks in two ways

Firstly, EFT allows the person to effectively deal with panic attacks or the fears of a panic attack on a day to day basis. At the same time EFT can be very effective in dealing with the past issues that have contributed to the panic attacks in the first place. Clients use the technique as symptoms arise or deal with the aprehension of an inpending attack. Most clients report a significant reduction in their symptoms within the first few weeks of regularly applying the technique to themselves.

So what are Panic Attacks?

Sufferers of panic attacks often report a fear or sense of dying, "going crazy," or experiencing a heart attack or "flashing vision," feeling faint or nauseated, a numb sensation throughout the body, heavy breathing, hyperventilation, or losing control of themselves.

    The most common symptoms may include:
  • Trembling
  • Shortness of breath
  • Heart palpitations
  • Chest pain or tightness
  • Hot and/or Cold flashes. Burning Sensations
  • Sweating
  • Nausea
  • Dizziness or slight vertigo. Light headedness
  • Hyperventilation
  • Sensations of choking or smothering
  • Paresthesias (tingling sensations)
  • Burning sensations
    • These physical symptoms are interpreted with alarm in people prone to panic attacks. Some people also suffer from tunnel vision, mostly due to blood flow leaving the head to more critical parts of the body in defense. These feelings may provoke a strong urge to escape or flee the place where the attack began (a consequence of the sympathetic "fight-or-flight response") in which the hormone which causes this response is released in significant amounts. This response floods the body with hormones, particularly epinephrine (adrenaline), that aid it in defending against harm.

Often the onset of shortness of breath and chest pain are the predominant symptoms, the sufferer incorrectly appraises this as a sign or symptom of a heart attack. This can result in the person experiencing a panic attack seeking treatment in an emergency room.

Panic attacks are distinguished from other forms of anxiety by their intensity and their sudden, episodic nature. They are often experienced in conjunction with anxiety disorders and other psychological conditions, although panic attacks are not usually indicative of a mental disorder.
