Emotional Wellbeing and EFT Tapping
EFT Tapping & Matrix Reimprinting
Our experiences can shape how we feel about ourselves, how we respond to challenges and what we believe is possible in our lives. Sometimes, feelings connected to past experiences continue to affect us long after the events themselves have passed.
At Restoring Happiness, Tania Bennett uses Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT tapping) and Matrix Reimprinting to help people explore difficult emotions, recognise limiting beliefs and work towards positive changes in how they feel and respond to life.
Although the two techniques are related, each offers a different approach. Understanding how they work can help you decide which may be suitable for your individual needs.
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)
*Commonly known as EFT tapping*
What is EFT tapping?
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a technique that combines gentle tapping on specific points on the body with a focus on particular emotions, thoughts or experiences. Often simply called tapping, it is used to help people explore and manage emotional distress. Rather than only talking about how you feel, EFT incorporates a physical process that you follow while focusing on the issue you would like to address.
How does Tania use EFT?
During an EFT session, Tania will help you identify a particular feeling, concern or experience you’d like to work on. She will guide you through tapping on a sequence of points on your body while bringing your attention to the associated thoughts and emotions.
The session is tailored to your individual concerns, and you can discuss how you’re feeling as you work through the process. EFT can also be learned and practised independently using guided tapping videos.
What might EFT help with?
EFT may be used to explore and manage a range of emotional concerns, including:
– Stress and feelings of overwhelm
– Anxiety and specific fears or phobias
– Low self-esteem and self-doubt
– Grief and difficult emotions
– Emotional responses to past experiences
– Confidence and performance-related anxiety
Which approach is right for me?
EFT tapping and Matrix Reimprinting are related techniques, and the most suitable approach will depend on your individual circumstances and what you’d like to work on. You don’t need to know which technique you need before making an appointment, Tania will discuss the best approach in your first session.
Matrix Reimprinting
An advanced technique that builds on EFT tapping
What is Matrix Reimprinting?
Matrix Reimprinting is a technique developed from Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) that focuses on the emotional impact of past experiences and the beliefs associated with them.
The approach involves revisiting memories through a guided process, exploring how those experiences may influence your feelings and beliefs today, and working towards a different perspective on what happened.
Rather than simply focusing on the memory itself, Matrix Reimprinting aims to help you explore the meaning you have attached to an experience and how it may continue to affect you.
How does Tania use Matrix Reimprinting?
Tania may use Matrix Reimprinting when a particular memory or past experience appears to be connected to an ongoing emotional concern.
With her guidance, you are supported in exploring the memory and the feelings or beliefs associated with it. The intention is to help you reconsider the beliefs and emotional responses connected to that experience, while working at a pace appropriate to your needs.
What might Matrix Reimprinting help with?
Matrix Reimprinting may be used to explore concerns such as:
– The emotional impact of past trauma or distressing experiences
– Long-standing self-esteem and confidence issues
– Fears and phobias linked to previous events
– Repeating emotional patterns or limiting beliefs
– Difficult feelings associated with childhood experiences
– Emotional barriers affecting relationships or personal goals
