Using emotional freedom technique to treat veterans with PTSD

ReviewPreliminary✓ Source-checked📍 United States

In plain English. This book chapter, written by a coach involved in founding the Veterans Stress Project, advocates for EFT as a faster and more effective treatment than standard therapies for veteran PTSD, citing the project's own data. Because it is a first-person advocacy chapter by someone with a direct stake in EFT's adoption, its statistics should be checked against the primary published Veterans Stress Project papers rather than taken at face value.

What they found

Reports that EFT demonstrated a sustainable 85% success rate, averaging a 63% reduction in PTSD symptoms including TBI symptoms, citing the Veterans Stress Project's initial and replication studies.
