The Power of Tapping

Healing and Stress Relief With Emotional Freedom Technique

EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique, otherwise known as ‘tapping’, is a healing and stress reduction technique based on Chinese Energy Medicine. Instead of using needles, energy meridians or acupressure points are gently tapped using fingers. It’s a very gentle yet effective form of energetic healing. It’s based on the belief that all physical and emotional problems are blocked energy in the body and once cleared, the energy is released, and the problem is allowed to heal. The tapping balances the energy meridians that become disrupted when we think about or experience an emotionally disturbing experience. Once balanced, the upset is usually resolved. The memory stays, but the emotional charge is gone. 

Overcome Challenges

What Is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis to facilitate change. Hypnosis is a natural method of lulling the conscious mind in order to reach the subconscious. When the subconscious is spoken to directly, old patterns and conditioning can be reprogrammed, and new ideas and positive suggestions can be introduced. These positive suggestions can then be used to help make the changes you desire. Agreed positive suggestions can be placed into the subconscious level of the mind while you are in the relaxed state of hypnosis. During hypnosis, you will never act upon any suggestions that you do not agree with.

Hypnosis can improve the quality of your life in many ways. Deeper insights can be gained using altered states of consciousness achieved during hypnotherapy. You might discover solutions to your problems that have never been resolved through talking about them. Indeed, sometimes, the problem can become further ingrained from repetitively discussing it. Most personal growth will occur when you identify and modify a limiting thought or behaviour. Hypnosis creates an opportunity to remove and reframe that limiting thought on a subconscious level through visualisation and positive suggestion. 

Hypnosis enhances your ability to visualise. It creates a relaxed and focused state of consciousness, which is healthy for the mind and body. While relaxing you’re better able to define and visualise your goals. This can lead to success in your personal development, career, relationships, sport, etc.

Positive suggestions in hypnosis can help you change habitual behaviours you may have been unable to change on your own. These include smoking, binge eating, blushing, lethargy, nail-biting, insomnia, addictions and other stress-related conditions. Positive suggestions can also be used to overcome many common fears, such as flying, public speaking, injections, spiders, driving, socialising and more.

Hypnotherapy can help you overcome a problem that reason, logic, or sound common sense cannot cure. It can treat a behavioural condition or a psychosomatic problem—i.e., a functional illness with no obvious physical cause. Hence, hypnotherapy can clear fear thoughts, remove phobias, build self-confidence, and strengthen personality. It can also remove inhibitions, compulsions, and obsessions. 

The Origins of EFT

From Thought Field Therapy to Emotional Freedom Technique

It was developed from Thought Field Therapy (TFT), which was created in the 1980s by the leading American clinical research psychologist, Dr Roger Callahan, PhD. By using the principle of meridians, the body’s energy points and pathways (acupuncture), Callahan developed a series of tapping algorithms to successfully treat his clients’ emotional problems. He stated that “the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system.” TFT works through your central nervous system and is based on electrical currents in your body. The electromagnetic energy of the body stores memories of both good and bad experiences. By directly addressing the energy flows established by a person’s thoughts, Callahan discovered a way to quickly reduce and eliminate long-standing fears, phobias, anxieties, stress and emotional upsets. 

Gary Craig, a student of Callahan and retired engineer, simplified Callahan’s routine into the basic recipe for EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique.

Releasing Emotional Blockages

Relieve Stress and Anxiety

EFT (Tapping) is very effective in diffusing, reducing and relieving emotional upset, stress and anxiety around a specific event, person or unpleasant and traumatic memories. EFT promotes stress management and stress relief, as well as the reduction and elimination of anxiety and anxiety-related problems. Tapping desensitises you to stressful issues, traumas, or painful memories, which in turn calms and relaxes the mind and body and creates an opportunity to view the situation in a different way. This leads to greater clarity and better decision-making.

    "Lindy has helped me process some very difficult situations and make resolutions that have greatly improved my ability to cope.  She has taught me self-calming techniques that I can use anytime, anywhere. Through meditation I have become more punctual and mindful of what I am doing. I am more immune to criticism, and have learned not to take things too personally.  She has given me confidence to handle myself calmly in conflict situations. Lindy is gifted in her ability to articulate a problem, and get to the solution with great rationale. I can not recommend anyone more highly than Lindy, to help anyone struggling with life’s problems."

    "Lindy has helped me release the negative burdens that were preventing me from moving forward in my life.  My relationships are more harmonious and communication has improved.  She has put a smile back on my face.  I now feel I have the strength to deal with any challenges that may arrive in my life."

    "I contacted Lindy in 2010 for help dealing with issues I have struggled with for over 20 years.  As soon as I spoke to her I felt that she was going to be be able to help me.  She has a calmness and warmth which is evident even on the phone.  In person Lindy is totally professional and at the same extroadinarily human - a difficult balance, I would think, yet she is quite comfortable with it.  In the 6 months of sessions that I had with her she helped me recognise the source of my anxieties and the way they had been manifesting in my life, as well as showing me ways to put them into perspective and not let them control me in the future.  I would without hesitation recommend Lindy to anyone, she is not only a wonderful therapist, she is a wonderful person."

    "I came to see Lindy seeking an alternative approach to dealing with depression.  With her easy communication style and sense of humour, I was on the road to recovery from the very first session.  If you want an alternative to popping a pill,then Lindy is the person to see."

    "Thank you so much for helping me to relax and sleep better! Of course my main hope when I initially came to see you was that you would be able to help me communicate better with my loved ones, as well as friends and the rest of the world really ... to be able to say how I felt without feeling guilty. The depth of the relaxation I felt with your techniques has really calmed me down and I do not feel nearly as anxious or nervous at the prospect of the future."

    "I was barely functioning when I decided to make an appointment with Lindy Poirier.  After unsuccessful sessions with both Psychiatrists and Psychologists I was beginning to wonder if I’d ever be able to live normally again.  I didn’t want to go down the road of medication; I’d tried that in the past and found it more of a band-aid solution. I was diagnosed by my GP as having an Anxiety disorder, well let’s say many disorders, which included Generalised anxiety, health anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive and a phobia I had been living with since I was only a small child. Along with this I had debilitating panic attacks and a period of terrifying disassociation.  But that wasn’t all, depression also took hold. I was at the point where I couldn’t work, didn’t socialise and didn’t really leave the house. I wasn’t even able to drive a car because my anxiety was so bad. After only my first session with Lindy I noticed an improvement in my anxiety.  Since seeing Lindy I would say she has completely ‘cured’ me of all my issues, not only the anxiety!  The techniques she taught me proved invaluable in my recovery. I didn’t realise life could be this way, and that I could live it anxiety free.  I took on dancing lessons, applied for a new job and won it, and can now live every day with a freedom I never imagined possible!  I have no hesitations in recommending Lindy and the work that she does, she changed my life!"

    "For me Lindy's program was a revelation and a success. After spending more than 10 years of my life with anxiety I was desperate to find a natural solution to my problems. I was tried of feeling trapped and afraid to live life as it should be and was slowly losing control. As the anxiety increased over time I was increasing in fear of all social situations including any activity outside my control and outside my comfort zone. I needed help and Lindy was able to allow me to overcome my anxiety with her relaxed method of therapy. Since the program, I'm functioning at a level I never thought would be possible to me. I am able to attend functions and events that only a short time ago I would've fearfully declined. The results were not achieved in one session as there were anxieties, fears, panic attacks which needed to be treated and worked through, but now I feel very strong mentally and at ease in my mind. I am now able to continue my life as it should be. The professional guidance and support offered during the sessions made this experience very comfortable and well recommended. Thank you for getting my life back."

    "Recently I was looking for some avenues to improve my current level of mental health. I have been in the self actualisation/self improvement field and also the spiritual field for over 20 years, and have been very happy with my development and current sense of well being. However, I was looking for a way to transform to an even greater level of awareness. I wanted to create a shift from feeling pretty good to feeling great and being really content in each moment, independent of external circumstances. I felt there were two areas that could be restricting me and that were possibly creating some resistance to where I knew I could be.  I wanted someone accredited, professional, and who had the expertise to go deep into the subconscious.


    A lovely friend of mine who owns SA’s largest self help/religious book store recommended Lindy Poirier. In total I had 11 sessions with Lindy, all which were greatly embraced and appreciated. In a short time I began to see some major changes take place. I was able to release a major childhood trauma, as well as accelerate my self worth to a whole new level, which in turn, created a greater level of wealth. Not only this, as the weeks transpired, other shifts took place and I quickly reached way beyond the anticipated expectations and entered new paradigms. I thank Lindy for the assistance that I needed with creating these transformations. I highly recommend Lindy to anyone who is looking for an affordable, professional way to release their obstacles, raise their awareness and open themselves up to an even greater experience of life."

    "When I first went to Lindy my daily life was becoming more and more consumed with my issues. I was extremely unhappy and it was not only affecting me, but also my family. My initial consultation brought immediate relief to my peace of mind and as the sessions continued I had constant improvement. I can now think about these issues, discuss them and then let them go; they no longer consume me. I am no longer trying to be the person everyone else wants me to be and it has been liberating discovering the real me and that I'm okay.


    I went to Lindy with an open mind and not knowing what to expect and found a professional, kind, caring, down to earth person who is an extremely good listener and practical wiht an amazing sense of humour. She has helped me feel good about myself, given me coping techniques and has enabled me to look at life differently.


    It is hard to put into words the difference Lindy has made not only to my life but also my family, but I am constantly heard to say "thank you Lindy".  I have had no hesitation recommending Lindy and I will continue to do so!"

    "From a very early age I exhibited some rather unusual ‘psychic abilities’ and have been able to hear voices from the other realms, which at times has left me in a very uncomfortable state both physically and mentally. There were times when I felt my brain was literally going to explode and life felt like it was spiraling out of control.


    The intensity of the events increased with age, until I reached a point where I knew I would need to access help in order to become more aware of what was happening and to try and figure out how I could become comfortable with it all.


    Finding the right person to help with my situation has been no easy task I can assure you, and I have searched far and wide. One day I found Lindy Poirier and after a few delicately probing questions, realized this was the woman for me. Lindy put my mind at ease straight away and assured me that no problem was insurmountable.


    The work with Lindy has been life changing. I now have a much greater understanding of what has been happening to me throughout my life and have finally reached a point where I am comfortable in my own skin. In fact, now I actually enjoy and embrace my ‘gifts’. I will be forever in debt to Lindy for turning the light on and I have chosen to continue working with her in order to learn as much as I possibly can. With knowledge comes power and greater control of our ‘selves’. And I am sitting in a far far better place now, than I was 12 months ago when I first walked into Lindy’s office."

    "I first came to Lindy at one of the lowest points of my life.  I was going through significant personal changes and was not coping at all well emotionally.  I had seen counsellors, who while good to help me clarify the problem, weren't doing anything to help me modify the underpinning drivers for my behaviours.  After an initial 'crisis session' with Lindy we started on a series of hypnotherapy sessions which were brilliant in terms of both helping me relax and in reprogramming some of the very negative subconscious thoughts that had been endemic in my mind for a long time.  After a while, the change in my outlook become apparent not only to me, but to those around me, who remarked that I seemed to be in a' much better space' than I had been previously.  At the end of the sessions I felt far more prepared to cope with some of the challenges I will continue to face - the problems are still there, but I know that I can overcome them now and if I ever feel like I am starting to slip again then I will be back to see Lindy without hesitation."
