EFT for Student Stress – Just in Time for the new school year!
As we start a new school year (maybe a new school, starting the GCSE or A Level years), stress levels can skyrocket—but there's a science-backed way to keep calm and stay focused. In a randomised controlled study by R. Rogers & S. Sears (2015), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) showed remarkable results in reducing stress in students:
Two groups received 15–20 minutes of treatment:
🔹 Sham Acupressure Group: Stress reduced by 8.1%
🔹 EFT Group: Stress reduced by a massive 39.3%
That’s nearly 5x more effective than the placebo!
Whether it’s peer or academic pressure, homewoke overload or general anxiety, EFT is a quick, effective, evidence-based tool to help students regulate stress and stay grounded.
