EFT has yielded exciting results for relieving emotional and physical distress. While no distressing side effects have been reported to my knowledge, this does not preclude this from happening. IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE THESE TECHNIQUES, YOU MUST AGREE TO TAKE FULL REPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELF AND OTHERS WHILE WORKING WITH THEM. You may wish to consult a trained EFT practitioner if you have concerns. If you continue on with the process, you are agreeing to take full responsibility for yourself and others when applying the EFT technique, and shall not hold the founder, Gary Craig, myself nor anyone else associated with EFT responsible for any adverse side effects or outcomes you may encounter.
If you agree to the above disclaimer, please continue…
