1.WHAT IS EFT (EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUE), IFS (INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS) & MAT (METAPHYSICAL ANATOMY)

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a quick and simple method of reducing the intensity of traumatic memories. We tap on the acupoints, the endpoints of meridians while saying statements about our problem. We include how we feel, think, and perceive things through sensory perceptions. So, while we tap, we honestly express how we feel/think about the problem.

Stimulating these acupoints reduces limbic arousal in our brains. In addition, it sends a calming signal to the amygdala, which is primarily involved in processing emotions and memories associated with fear and turning this fear response off.

As a result, cortisol and other stress chemicals are not released; instead, it develops brainwaves that reduce fear, and we experience a state of relaxation. Tapping works with all sorts of issues: physical issues, emotional issues, bad habits, repeating cycles, and beliefs that no longer serve us, to name a few.

And/or Metaphysical Anatomy Technique (MAT) is a trauma release modality, researched and developed by Evette Rose. This method allows us to dive deep into our subconscious mind and emotional body to release and heal stored stress, trauma and unwanted energetic influence.

And/or IFS (Internal Family Systems) is a transformative tool that conceives of every human being as a system of protective and wounded inner parts led by a core Self. We believe the mind is naturally multiple and that is a good thing. Just like members of a family, inner parts are forced from their valuable states into extreme roles within us. Self is in everyone. It can’t be damaged. It knows how to heal.
