Emotional Freedom Techniques for Dyslexia: A Case Study

McCallion, F. · Energy Psychology Journal · 2012

Case series👥 1 participantsPreliminary✓ Source-checked📍 United Kingdom
In plain English. A single client with dyslexia underwent three EFT sessions targeting specific emotional memories, and afterward showed marked improvement in reading fluency and reduced disorientation. As a single case study, this cannot establish whether EFT would work similarly for others with dyslexia, and the author explicitly notes this requires further study.

people took part

By the end of 3 connected EFT sessions addressing specific teacher-related events, prebirth issues, and the birth process, the client was able to read easily and fluently, sequence and understand sequences, with disorientation reduced to no longer being an issue.
