EFT Can Definitely Take Your Postnatal Blues Away
It’s about 1 in 10 mothers develop postnatal depression (PND) after having a baby delivery. It is common for women following childbirth to experience a period of ‘low’ mood. This can range in severity from a mild and normal period of mood disturbance (‘baby blues’), and the most severe and rarest problem (postnatal psychosis). It’s quite normal to feel like this and hormonal responses have been linked to its onset, although this may be just one influence. Good news is that the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a kind of therapy that can be used to help with postpartum depression.
The EFT is known as alternative psychotherapy and can be a great way to expel the negative thoughts that many new moms have once they have given birth to their bouncing joy. It is an elegantly simple yet powerful way of releasing the mental, physical and emotional issues related to PND. EFT is an emotional balancing therapy that works by gently tapping on acupuncture points on the face, hands and torso while focusing on the specific issues, allowing them to come quickly to the surface and then released painlessly without any side-effect.
There are three stages of EFT that someone will actually go through. The first stage is called the Baseline Phase, which is when the treatment is explained and when the new mom gets a chance to explain how she feels and talks about her fears. The next step is known as the Treatment Phase, which is when the process of the pressure on the points of the body is started. This can be difficult for a patient for the reason that it means dealing with the feelings that they have been feeling and not just talking about them.
The final stage is called the Post-Treatment Phase. This is when the new moms will be asked to rate how intense their fear is. This will give the professional a chance to determine whether the EFT treatment was effective or not. The new mom will go through another round of the second phase that’s if the fears have not died-down or she may find that she no longer needs that type of help and just needs the support from her family.
