About this listen

What if therapists could feel better at the end of their workday than when they started? Emma, founder of EFT+, reveals the revolutionary approach transforming both therapist wellbeing and client outcomes through the integration of mind, body, and spirit.

Emma's journey from curious 11-year-old reading psychology books to pioneering therapy trainer spans decades of personal exploration and professional evolution. After working across multiple sectors—from HIV/AIDS support to psychiatric care—she discovered Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), commonly known as "tapping." This practice of stimulating acupressure points while addressing emotional issues became what she calls "the missing link" in therapeutic work.

The power of Emma's approach lies in its focus on the therapist's own healing journey. "This is more than doing; this is about being it," she explains, describing how practitioners who work on themselves first can show up differently for clients. This self-regulation creates a profound co-regulatory environment that accelerates healing without the usual pain and resistance of traditional therapy.

Most revolutionary is what Emma calls "borrowing benefits"—how therapists inadvertently heal themselves while helping clients. "I work with six clients a day, so that's six hours a day of me tapping on my stuff by the back door," she shares, explaining why EFT practitioners rarely experience the burnout plaguing many therapists whose self-worth depends on client outcomes.

Emma's vision extends beyond individual practice to systemic change. Research validating EFT's effectiveness is gaining traction, and she predicts mainstream healthcare adoption within twenty years. Her passionate message to the therapy profession? "Drop into your body, lose your mind, come to your senses"—a call to move beyond purely academic approaches toward an embodied practice that honors our complete humanity.

Whether you're a therapist seeking sustainable practice, a healthcare professional exploring complementary approaches, or someone fascinated by the evolution of healing modalities, this conversation offers profound insights into the future of therapy and wellbeing. Discover why accepting yourself exactly as you are might be the most powerful therapeutic tool available.
