Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
Release emotional blocks and reconnect with your inner resilience
What is Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)?
At New Pathways Therapy in Toronto, we offer Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)—a gentle, evidence-informed practice that blends elements of cognitive therapy with acupressure to help calm the nervous system, release emotional blockages, and promote healing.
Also known as "tapping," EFT involves lightly tapping on specific meridian points on the body while speaking about distressing thoughts, feelings, or memories. This somatic and mindful process helps to regulate the body's stress response, allowing unresolved emotions, trauma, and limiting beliefs to be acknowledged and gently transformed.
What can Emotional Freedom Technique support?
EFT has been used effectively for a wide range of mental health concerns, including:
Anxiety and panic
Depression and low self-worth
PTSD and trauma-related symptoms
Phobias and fears
Grief and loss
Chronic pain and physical tension
Self-sabotaging patterns or blocks to growth
Whether you’re dealing with acute emotional pain or seeking to deepen your personal growth, EFT offers a practical and empowering path toward healing.

A Holistic Tool for Transformation
As part of our holistic approach at New Pathways, EFT complements other therapies such as talk therapy, mindfulness, somatic psychotherapy, and trauma-informed care. It helps clients reconnect with the body’s innate wisdom, gently releasing what no longer serves and making space for clarity, calm, and inner strength.
What to Expect
In an EFT session, you’ll work one-on-one with a trained therapist who will guide you through the tapping sequence and help you name and process what’s coming up in a safe and supportive way. No prior experience is necessary. Sessions can be deeply moving, often bringing a sense of lightness, relief, and emotional freedom.
