CAUTION -- Be aware of EFT limitations:
"EFT can often provide substantial relief with little or no emotional pain. This is not true for everyone, however.
Psychological trauma can be intense and emotionally painful to deal with.
If you have long-lasting or intense emotional or physical trauma it is essential that you consult your physician
or licensed mental health practitioner before using EFT or any other stress-reduction method.
EFT is not a substitute for medical or mental health treatment. Please share your experiences with EFT with
your healthcare providers."
