EFT Practitioner Principles and Fundamentals 3

Question 1

When working with a client on a specific traumatic memory, which EFT approach helps prevent re-traumatization by creating emotional distance?

Accepted Answer

The Tearless Trauma Technique

Answer

The Tearless Trauma Technique asks clients to estimate their distress rather than fully re-experience it, reducing the risk of re-traumatization.

Question 2

In EFT, 'borrowing benefits' refers to which phenomenon?

Accepted Answer

Observers experiencing relief while watching someone else tap

Answer

Borrowing benefits describes the well-documented phenomenon where people tapping along with someone else's session experience relief for their own unrelated issues.

Question 3

A new EFT client has a phobia of dogs. To apply specific event work most effectively, a practitioner should:

Accepted Answer

Identify the earliest or most memorable specific dog-related incident

Answer

EFT is most effective when targeting specific events, and resolving the earliest or core memory often collapses the entire issue.

Question 4

Which statement best describes the role of the affirmation in a standard EFT Setup Statement?

Accepted Answer

It counteracts psychological reversal by affirming self-acceptance regardless of the problem

Answer

The affirmation—typically 'I deeply and completely accept myself'—addresses psychological reversal without requiring the client to believe it fully.

Question 5

When a client's emotional intensity shifts to a completely different emotion mid-session (e.g., from fear to anger), an EFT practitioner should:

Accepted Answer

Recognize this as an aspect shift and tap on the new emotion

Answer

A shift to a new emotion indicates the emergence of a new aspect, which should be addressed with its own Setup Statement and tapping round.
