How it helps people

  • EFT helps clients develop and improve key executive functions, which are the mental skills that help us get things done. These skills are crucial from childhood through adulthood and include:
  • Planning and Prioritization: Learning to organize tasks, set goals, and decide what's most important.
  • Time Management: Developing strategies to allocate time effectively and meet deadlines.
  • Organization and Task Initiation: Improving the ability to start and complete tasks, as well as keep track of materials.
  • Self-Regulation: Enhancing impulse control, emotional regulation, and managing distractions.
  • Working Memory: Strengthening the ability to hold and manipulate information in mind. ​

Through targeted strategies and practice, EFT empowers individuals, whether children, adolescents, or adults, to become more organized, efficient, and successful in their daily lives, academics, and work.
