I was just wondering if anybody has heard of that Emotional Freedom Technique by Gary Craig. I know it is based on a similar concept that has been around for quite awhile and it is a "tapping" version of accupuncture. I downloaded the free manual the other day and I actually tried it. I wasn't "cured" of my anxiety by any means, but I did feel more relaxed after I did it. It prolly has to do more with distraction and focus thinking than the program actually working. I was also wondering if anybody has tried hypnosis or accupuncture for anxiety. I think I may be doing my thesis on something along the lines of alternative healing methods (because my instructor HATES what he calls "quack" psychology, even herbal supplements and I am totally into holistic healing, lol, and I dont HATE this instructor but I certainly don't love him either ;) with GAD, panic disorder, OCD and PTSD. Just curious if anyone of you has tried any "alternative" methods, whether they worked for you or not. :)

SheriAnn,
That's great you found a therapist that supported this technique!! I fear so many of them are ready to shoot down alternative methods like this. Unfortunately, I live in a hole-in-the-wall town, lol, we only have a Kmart and Wal-Mart if that tells ya anything so I haven't been able to locate anybody that practices EFT in this area. I did sign up for the newsletter and have gotten a couple of them so far. I love reading the testimonials. I am contemplating spending the money and getting the DVD's, I am the biggest cheapskate in the world so I am trying to talk myself into it right now :).
Thanks for the links Jan, I will definitely be checking them out. :)
Thanks all for the replies!!
