Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I have to lie on a table or be undressed for EFT sessions or buy expensive supplements?
No, you remain fully dressed at all times. The EFT procedure has you sitting across from the therapist while you tap on stress release points while talking about your issues. I sell no supplements.
- How often do I come for sessions?
Clients generally come once weekly.
- How many sessions will be needed?
The number of sessions needed varies with each individual and the complexity of their condition so it is hard to predict. Benchmarks will be estimated after the first few sessions.
5. How long is each session?
The initial session may be up to 90 minutes for thorough evaluation. Sessions thereafter are up to 50 minutes.
- Does Elaine charge by the minute or by the hour?
No. The initial office session is $95 and sessions thereafter are $65 regardless of duration. All phone EFT sessions are $70 and generally run one hour.
- Can I do EFT over the phone?
Yes. EFT phone sessions are offered by appointment. See the tapping points and procedure by clicking here.
- Are there any published research studies verifying the effectiveness of EFT?
There is published research about EFT and its effectiveness in phobia elimination: Wells , J. of Clincal Paychology, 9/2003. The Wells study has been replicated by Dr. A Harvey Baker and his paper is awaiting publication. To read a summary of his results click here.
Anecdotal reports on EFT effectiveness are numerous.
- Can infants and young children be treated with EFT ?
Yes. Sometimes this is done with parents acting as surrogates.
- Do I need to avoid exposure to allergens after allergy elimination sessions?
We believe that allergen avoidance is usually not necessary for “corrections” to hold.
Gradual exposure to substances in question may be introduced during a session. In cases where there is a history of severe allergic reactions, clients will be cautioned not to resume exposure to that allergen until controlled serial exposures in the office over some period of weeks has demonstrated a stable response to the corrections.
- Do I need to drop traditional medical care and my current medications?
No. EFT is not a substitute for medical treatment. It is helpful to coordinate corrections with the treatment of your physician or other health care provider. Prescribed medications should be adjusted and monitored as appropriate by your physician.
- Will insurance reimburse for these sessions?
No.
- Will I feel worse before I feel better?
Usually not; but if Infectious Agents are part of the problem, their “die off” may release toxins that must be eliminated by the body. We ask the body to do this at a rate that is safe and comfortable for the individual.
- Will I feel immediate relief from my symptoms?
Sometimes relief is immediate for some symptoms. For other folks, the aspects may be complex and the body may need more time to process the healing.
16. Does EFT and NMT work on everything?
Probably not; what does?
- Is this type of health intervention “New Age” or anti-Christian?
No; to the contrary, some of this goes back to Chinese medicine over 5000 years ago. On the other hand, the scientific understanding of the quantum physics involved in the subtle energy patterns of the body is fairly recent.
I am a Christian and see many Spiritual aspects to this healing process. Many of my Christian clients have commented on sensing the Holy Spirit moving in them during EFT sessions when issues were released from deep within.
- How can I purchase the Conquer Emotional Overeating computer interactive tools to use EFT for weight management?
You will be taken directly to their site for information on payment and how to obtain their tools by clicking here.
19. Is it absolutely required to order and use their tools? What if I don’t have access to a computer at home? Can I have phone or office EFT and work on my eating problems without the computer tools?
I strongly recommend you purchase and use their tools so you can do self-directed treatments at home and then discuss these in your individual therapy sessions. This is not an absolute requirement. If on the other hand, you are part of a weight loss therapy group, all participants are expected to do computer interactive treatments between group sessions.
- Can or will we incorporate prayer in my sessions?
At your request, we can incorporate your prayers and mine and the intercession of others in your treatment.
