Often referred to as Psychological Acupuncture, EFT has been shown to be more cost effective  & sustainable within 6-10 sessions compared to the gold standard therapies that take on average 24 sessions to get the same results. This is why EFT Tapping is used as one of the major tools within TheJoyHut coaching process.

EFT uses our own fingertips (rather than needles) to tap on acupressure points on the body that in turn, regulates the Autonomic Nervous System (the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems). This produces a calming response for the mind and body and decreases the arousal of the limbic system (the ‘seat of emotion’ in the brain) and other stress responses that are normally generated during stress or trauma. This evidence based technique has been shown to stabilise the brains emotional centres, increase the functioning of our prefrontal cortex (our thinking mind) when we are triggered and we then can work toward more happiness and fulfilment. EFT combines cognitive therapy, somatic intervention and the PRIMO VASCULAR SYSTEM that conducts energy throughout the body. It targets the stress response so we can target many various conditions because stress is common across different areas of challenge. EFT helps to ‘soothe’ us by:

• regulating cortisol and other stress hormones,
• increasing growth hormone production,
• repairs and supports the body by elevating immune system markers,
• reducing pain, depression, anxiety, blood pressure and even cravings and more!

This allows us to manage our energy, change how we approach and respond to life situations, challenges and step out of fight, flight or freeze survival mode when there are healthier ways to thrive.

NLP is the ‘language of the nervous system’ that uses a blend of sciences that see the human system as a biocomputer. Our thought patterns are like the ‘software’ of our ‘computer’ (the brain). So if we look at how we are thinking and behaving in unhealthy ways, the system can be reprogrammed, upgraded and a new ‘software’ can be installed, that allow us to achieve the results we want. What we think about directly affects how we feel and the decisions that we make and NLP techniques can help us gain more success because our limiting beliefs and automatic default coping patterns are no longer stopping us. As a result, our expectations of the future changes and we ‘re-program’ the nervous system towards a solution-orientated approach. New beneficial ‘habits’ of thinking can then be installed through language and imagery, creating new pathways in our nervous system that allow us produce more effective habits and responses to life.

The aim of Energy Psychology/Intuitive Work is to restore harmony. By looking at the relationship between the energetic system and the mind, physical body and spiritual aspects of us as a whole, we can stimulate the body’s natural healing ability and increase self-awareness. It is within the Energy System that transmutation of the energy around us from a higher frequency to a lower frequency occurs. This allows use of this energy within the physical body. The conversion of energy is useful for the wellbeing of the individual and occurs that through a process similar to the way food is digested into the physical system. The vital energy is metabolised by being absorbed and broken up and sent along energy channels. This energy is sent to the Nervous System, Endocrine gland and blood to nourish the body. Forms of ‘dis-ease’ either within the mind, body, emotion or spiritual aspects can occur with energy blocks and imbalance. Non-invasive approaches to supporting energy exchange and communication between the body, field and life force can assist with the following: reduction of stress & trauma impact, anxiety, pain, unhealthy patterns, recovery, menopausal symptoms, and increase relaxation, vitality, concentration, performance, greater personal growth, fulfilment and purpose.

The aim of any form of hypnosis is to assist people to heal through an ultimate state of self-control using imagination. This empowering technique brings the client to a heightened state of awareness (relaxation) and powerful neurological change at the subconscious level. Milton Erickson was an American Psychiatrist, noted for his often unconventional approach to psychotherapy. He taught that the subconscious mind is creative, solution-generated and often positive with its own awareness, interests, responses and learnings. It is believe that all learning and behaviour is formed at a subconscious level when we are very young and we haven’t yet developed the critical thinking part of our brains. So all change is made deep at a subconscious level and how we interpret information will determine our experience. All problems of the imagination have solutions within the imagination. Through suggestive language, levels of relaxations and intention, we can work around the critical mind hardwires in the brain by around age 7. Forms of hypnosis can help the conscious and subconscious minds to be congruent and reduce internal conflict and unhealthy beliefs we picked up on as a child. The benefit of such techniques allows us to tap into greater resources and strengths, teaching us to direct our own mind in order to make changes that we desire to make because we regain rapport with ourselves.
