Learn from Gary Craig

Gary Craig was the founder of the Emotional Freedom Technique and was notable for offering information on tapping to the world at an affordable price. Gary made his original trainings available online for a very low cost through his site, Palace of Possibilities.

Gary presents tapping from a self-help point of view, so this is not from a clinical point of view. No continuing education hours are offered through his site.

Learn from the founder of EFT

His training includes Spiritual/Optimal EFT, tapping from a more holistic, spiritual perspective, activating "the spiritual healer within".

PUBLICATIONS

As of 2022, more than 700 publications have been presented in journals around the world on a wide variety of subjects. Tapping has been compared to several popular therapy modalities with equal or superior results. While no one modality works for every client, having knowledge and experience with a wide variety of modalities, ensures that the clinician can offer help to their clients.

Google Scholar is a great place to find published articles about tapping. They are often listed under the following descriptors: Emotional Freedom Techniques, Thought Field Therapy, Meridian Tapping Techniques, Brief Multisensory Activation Techniques, Somatic stimulation with Cognitive Reframing, Energy Psychology, and/or Energy Tapping.

EFT Universe also offers many publications on its research page.
