A 3rd study here that has evaluated EFT Tapping for PTSD from a meta analysis POV

This shows the same outcomes as the other 2 🥰

Summary -

Energy psychology, particularly Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), has gained attention as an effective treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The authors conducted a review of several studies to evaluate the effectiveness of EFT in reducing PTSD symptoms. This analysis included 13 studies with 621 participants and followed established reporting guidelines. The findings showed that EFT significantly improved PTSD symptoms compared to baseline levels and was more effective than control treatments. Additionally, EFT also helped reduce anxiety and depression, with these benefits lasting up to three months after treatment. A further analysis of veterans revealed that EFT was particularly effective in reducing PTSD, anxiety, and depression in this group. In conclusion, EFT is a promising treatment for PTSD and its associated symptoms, with effects that can last for several months, especially in veteran populations.

Amongst other studies, a French study using magnetoencephalography (MEG) to study the brain activity of a subject with fear of flying, investigators found that EFT downregulated regions implicated in the fear response (Di Rienzo et al., 2018). It also increased activity in the prefrontal areas active in executive control and the management of emotions.

My students use it to calm themsleves in exam situations - so they can access their thinking brain for that info they studied 😉
