Here are some of the recent appearances EFT and other Energy Psychology techniques have made on TV and in the press.

On TV

Fear of Flying. Channel 4, 24th August, 2006
Lawrence Leyton uses EFT and NLP to address different aspects of flying phobia. Resulted in in 38 out of 40 of the phobics being able to successfully (and comfortably) take a flight. Particularly notable was that during the flight itself, EFT was the participants' tool of choice for dealing with remaining anxieties.

In the Press

Tapping away at the fear. The Times, February 17 2007.
Case study of one man's (successful) results of using EFT for the fear of flying.  Also of interest is the mini article underneath looking at the evidence for EFT. The results of a comparative trial of normal EFT, tapping "non-meridian points" and tapping a doll, versus no treatment at all, is very interesting. While some might think they cast doubt on EFT, they equally provide support for the efficacy of surrogate tapping!

The journalist uses EFT to help help her play darts performance and then runs through a host of different practitioners using it for different applications.
(Don't be put off by the picture of the lady getting a back massage - this has nothing to with EFT!)

Tap away the trauma. The Times online, August 13, 2005
Particularly interesting for it's inclusion of Dr Phil Mollan, an experienced hospital clinical psychologist, who uses EFT regularly in his work.
