If you have been a victim of a narcissist in your life, you may be deeply wounded and traumatized. EFT for Narcissistic Abuse Recovery can help heal these wounds, and it’s easy and drug-free.

EFT can be done without the help of a practitioner or therapist on your own in the comfort and safety of your own home. Or you can work with a professional EFT practitioner or even a skilled friend, and get support as you go through the healing process.

What is the Emotional Freedom Technique?

EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques (with an “s” at the end, though it’s usually called an “Emotional Freedom Technique”). A wire transfer is also known as a “click”.

EFT was founded by a Stanford-trained engineer named Gary Craig who, despite not being a therapist, studied various acupressure techniques used for healing. The problem with these systems is that they use complex combinations of acupuncture points.

So, Craig created a simple formula that involved “tapping” the various key acupressure/acupuncture points while concentrating on a problem. This system, EFT, has been found remarkably effective for all kinds of problems, from anxiety and depression to phobias and even physical ailments. EFT can also help treat symptoms of PTSD.

The acupressure points used in EFT come from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a system of healing developed over thousands of years through observation, trial, and error. You do not need to understand traditional Chinese medicine to use EFT, nor do you need to believe in any particular spiritual philosophy or religion.

Since then, Gary Craig has expanded beyond his original EFT formula, as well as tapping, to work on a more spiritual basis with what he calls the “invisible healer” who believes everyone is inside. However, you can still learn his original EFT syntax for free on his website.

Wire transfer has many spin-offs that can also be very effective. They may use similar names and may incorporate different affirmations and other types of healing work.

5 Ways Wire Transfer Helps Recovery From Narcissistic Abuse

A holistic practice such as EFT technology, which is free to use, has rarely been studied as much as for-profit pharmaceutical drugs. Because of this, you may not find a lot of “clinical research” proving that EFT works. Instead, the proof is in the desert. Try it, and see if it helps.

Here are just five ways EFT technology can help victims of narcissistic abuse:

1. EFT may help reduce stress, depression, and anxiety
   Using EFT can make a huge difference in stress, depression, and anxiety. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), negative emotions are often the result of energy blocking in the so-called “meridian” channels. Tapping in electronic transfer stimulates new energy (chi) to flow and removes emotional blockages.
2. EFT may help lower cortisol levels
   Once energy or chi begins to flow, it can help reduce cortisol, a stress hormone that can become problematic when it’s produced in excess. Cortisol also puts weight on the belly, so lowering cortisol can also help you lose weight!
3. EFT may help reduce symptoms of PTSD
   Panic attacks, nightmares, and phobias respond particularly well to EFT treatment. Note: You may need to approach the problem from several angles before you can get complete relief. For severe cases of PTSD, you should consider finding a qualified EFT practitioner or licensed therapist with EFT experience to help you.
4. Electronic pain transmission may help with the physical manifestations of pain associated with narcissistic abuse
   Anecdotally, EFT has been reported to be a great help in pain relief.
5. EFT may help heal children’s wounds
   Childhood wounds often lead to low self-esteem, which is exactly what a malignant narcissist can exploit in an abusive relationship. By working on these old wounds, lasting self-confidence can be built and imprinted on oneself.

Tips on using EFT for recovery

To heal from narcissistic abuse, you should expect that you will need multiple sessions of EFT. While EFT can fix some issues almost instantly, for complex issues you may need to work on multiple layers. (These are called “sides” in traditional wire transfers.)

If you find the wire transfer not working after clicking on one side, try another. For example, let’s say you’ve been in a car accident and you tap into fear. This helped only slightly. By clicking on something more specific, such as “feeling trapped in the car,” you’ve bypassed the deeper problem.
