Over  130  clinical studies have shown that using Emotional Freedom Techniques is successful in treating physiological and psychological conditions like, depression, anxiety, pain reduction, phobias, insomnia, weight issues and post traumatic stress.  EFT has been proven to reduce the level of cortisol, the stress hormone in the blood. Clients tend to need fewer sessions for treatment when using EFT.

The International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, The American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis and the Journal of Consulting  and Clinical Psychology provide a range of articles demonstrating the success in using hypnotherapy to treat a wide range of conditions.

Here is a small list of some of the extensive research commissioned over recent decades that demonstrates the effectiveness of hypnotherapy.
