Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), often referred to as “tapping,” is a structured therapeutic approach that combines gentle stimulation of acupuncture points with cognitive focus on a specific issue or memory.

Because of this connection, EFT is sometimes described as an energy psychology or energy therapy intervention.

The good news is that self-confidence can be developed and strengthened over time, with the right mindset and practices. In this blog, we will explore what self-confidence is, why it is important, and how to build it.
