Emotional Freedom Technique For Dummies by Helena Fone

Published by Wiley, October 2008

Emotional Freedom Technique - or EFT as it's often shortened to - is an increasingly popular self-help/personal-development therapy. Much like CBT and NLP have become hugely well-known and trusted therapies, EFT is expected to become the new 'buzz word' in this type of field. It is a member of the Energy Therapies family - which includes acupuncture, acupressure and shiatsu - and it is often called 'acupuncture without needles'. EFT is said to restore balance to the body and re-programme negative thoughts and behaviours by tapping on specific meridian points in the body. Emotional Freedom Technique For Dummies is a no-nonsense guide to EFT, written by expert Helena Fone, which shows you how to turn negative thoughts in to positive action.

Stop Smoking For Dummies will help smokers choose and stick to a quitting plan, whilst curbing weight gain, dealing with relapse and finding support. Incorporating the latest self-help techniques such as CBT and hypnotherapy, this is the easiest way to stop smoking – and stay stopped!
