EFT Practitioner Tapping Techniques and Protocols 3

Question 1

In the Tearless Trauma Technique, how does the client engage with the traumatic event differently than in standard EFT?

Accepted Answer

They estimate the SUD without fully reliving the memory by staying 'at a distance'

Answer

The Tearless Trauma Technique keeps the client dissociated from the event — they estimate distress without fully associating into it, reducing retraumatization risk.

Question 2

What is a 'tail-ender' in EFT terminology?

Accepted Answer

An unconscious objection or contrary belief that arises after a positive affirmation

Answer

A tail-ender is the inner voice that contradicts a positive affirmation — for example, after 'I deeply love myself,' the mind whispers 'No you don't.'

Question 3

Which scenario BEST demonstrates the concept of 'generalization' in EFT?

Accepted Answer

A client taps on one childhood memory and finds relief from several similar memories spontaneously

Answer

Generalization occurs when resolving one representative memory causes related memories to lose their charge without directly addressing each one.

Question 4

When should an EFT practitioner use 'borrowing benefits' as a technique?

Accepted Answer

When a group taps on their own issues while watching another person's session

Answer

Borrowing benefits occurs in group settings where observers tap on their own issues while witnessing another person's session, often achieving similar relief.

Question 5

What is the primary purpose of including a self-acceptance statement ('I deeply and completely accept myself') in the Setup Statement?

Accepted Answer

To address and correct psychological reversal at the start of the session

Answer

The self-acceptance phrase in the Setup Statement is designed to correct psychological reversal — the subconscious resistance that can block EFT from working.
