Why Clinical EFT Matters: Advanced Tapping with Randi Camirand

 

If you’ve tried EFT tapping before and found it helpful—but incomplete—you’re not alone. Many people sense there is real potential in tapping, yet still feel stuck in anxiety, emotional reactivity, or patterns their body won’t let go of.

​

The difference is not EFT itself.

The difference is Clinical EFT—and how deeply the practitioner is trained to work with your nervous system.

​

I am a certified Clinical EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) practitioner, trained to work with anxiety, trauma, and complex emotional patterns in a way that prioritizes safety, precision, and lasting change.

​

I live in Connecticut and work with clients both locally and online.

​

What Is EFT—and How Does It Work?

 

EFT tapping uses gentle tapping on specific acupressure points while bringing mindful attention to thoughts, emotions, and body sensations.

This combination sends regulating signals to the brain and nervous system. As stress chemistry settles, the body gains access to new options—rather than repeating automatic survival responses.

 

In simple terms, EFT works by:

​

• Calming the stress response

• Reducing emotional charge stored in the body

• Interrupting learned fear and threat patterns

• Helping the nervous system update outdated signals

 

When used skillfully, EFT doesn’t force release. It creates the internal conditions that allow change to occur naturally.

​

Clinical EFT vs. Regular EFT

 

Most people encounter EFT through scripts, affirmations, or online videos. While these approaches can help with everyday stress, they are not designed for trauma, chronic anxiety, or deeply ingrained emotional patterns.

 

Regular EFT typically:

​

• Uses standardized phrases

• Focuses on symptom relief

• Applies tapping broadly, without assessment

• Can overwhelm sensitive or trauma‑impacted nervous systems

 

Clinical EFT is fundamentally different. It is:

​

• Evidence‑based and research‑supported

• Trauma‑informed and nervous‑system specific

• Individually tailored—never scripted

• Sequenced and paced to prevent overwhelm

 

Clinical EFT practitioners are trained to recognize when tapping is helpful—and when it’s not yet appropriate. This distinction matters enormously when working with trauma and anxiety.

​

How My Clinical EFT Training Sets Me Apart

 

Clinical EFT certification requires rigorous training, supervised practice, and demonstrated competence—not just familiarity with tapping points.

What truly sets my work apart is how Clinical EFT is integrated into a much deeper body‑based approach.

 

I do not use tapping as a technique layered onto talk therapy. I work directly with:

​

• Nervous system regulation

• Subtle bodily cues

• Emotional and physiological pacing

• Safety, consent, and attunement

 

Because of my extensive background in mind–body awareness and trauma‑informed practice, I can track what is happening beneath the words—where anxiety is organizing in the body, where attention is leaving, and when the system needs support rather than stimulation.

 

This allows Clinical EFT to be used with precision instead of force.

 

Many practitioners know EFT.
Very few know when, how, and how much to use it.

​

Why This Level of Training Matters

 

Trauma and anxiety live in the body, not just in memory or thought. If the body doesn’t feel safe, insight alone won’t resolve the pattern.

 

Clinical EFT, when practiced at this level, helps the nervous system experience safety while difficult material is contacted—so integration can occur instead of retraumatization.

 

Clients often notice:

​

• Deeper calm rather than temporary relief

• Less reactivity over time, not just in-session

• A growing sense of internal stability

• Increased trust in their body

 

This is not quick-fix tapping.

It is skilled, relational, nervous‑system‑based work.

Working With Me

 

I live in Connecticut and offer online sessions, making this work accessible wherever you are.

 

Clinical EFT is one part of my work—not as a standalone solution, but as a precise tool within a larger process of restoring safety, presence, and connection in the body.

 

If you’ve talked about your experiences, understood them intellectually, and still feel anxiety or trauma living in your body, this approach may finally meet the level where change happens.
