What Is EFT Tapping—and How Can It Help After a Breakup?
If you've ever wished there was a simple way to calm your emotions in the moment—without overthinking or spiraling—EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) might be just what you need.
EFT is a gentle, body-based practice that combines acupressure tapping with affirming statements to reduce emotional distress. Think of it as emotional first aid for your nervous system.
What Are the Benefits of EFT?
EFT is backed by research and has been shown to help with:
Emotional regulation and grounding
Anxiety and stress relief
Reducing the intensity of painful memories
Releasing guilt, shame, or self-blame
Cultivating self-compassion and clarity
Supporting trauma and attachment healing
After a breakup, emotions can feel overwhelming—grief, longing, regret, fear. EFT creates space for those feelings to move through you instead of getting stuck.
What Can You Use EFT For?
You can use EFT to support healing in a variety of situations:
When you miss your ex and feel the urge to text them
When you're blaming yourself or feeling "not enough"
When anxiety shows up in your body (tight chest, racing thoughts)
When you want to create a more compassionate inner dialogue
Before sleep, during a wave of sadness, or as a daily self-care ritual
EFT is simple, fast, and can be done anywhere—in just a few minutes a day.

You’ll gently tap on each point while repeating a calming or validating statement. No experience needed—just your hands, your breath, and your willingness to be kind to yourself.
