Two of the most asked questions I get with the Emotional Freedom Technique is, "How long does a session take?" and more importantly, "How long will it take to see some results?"
The first question is easy but the answer doesn'tprovide much in the way of useful information because you can control how long a session lasts. You can easily set a time limit and end your session when the clock says it's time to go. You should make sure you're at a good point when you do end. If you're in the middle of something big when the allotted time is up,you would be wise to keep going until you feel good. And if you are feeling goodand your session timestill has five minutes to go, I wouldn't start on anything else.
Even if you schedule yourselfa one minute EFTsession eachday, you're going to get some benefits.
The second question is really more important for most people. It's also impossible to answer because what seems simple on the outside may be a hornets nest when you get into it. On the other hand, what looks complicated may be easily and quickly resolved.
A person I worked with had a fear of heights. EFT usually produces quick results with fears, eliminating them in as little as five to ten minutes. This person took thirty minutes of tapping just to get her fear down to a point where she could climb on a step stool. With this person, eliminating one problem revealed a deeper layer of the problem and she had many layers.
Another client of mine had developed a resting heart rate of about 95 beats per minute. Her heart rate used to be normal which is around 72 bpm. She had been to numerous doctors and been given all sorts of drugs trying to lower back to where is should be. I taught her the tapping points and we did one "practice" round to make sure she knew how to word her affirmation and knew where and how to tap. Then we did a real round. We didn't even address any psychological aspects. We just tapped on the physical problem. After those two rounds, her pulse was 65 bpm. I knew EFT worked quickly but that result floored me. It amazed her even more.
I never would have guessed either the fear of heights would have taken so long or the heart rate problem would show results so immediately. It's simply impossible toestimate with any certainty how long it's going to take to fix a problem.
It's important to realize that in the world of EFT, considerations about treatment times are a bit skewed. In EFTworld, taking 30 minutes to completely resolve a fear of heights is considered slow. In the world of traditional psychotherapy, it's considered impossible.
