Do not transfer claims between methods
Research on a particular relaxation exercise cannot simply be used to validate SEFT. Check whether the method studied is actually the method being offered.
Decide what to share
You do not have to disclose intimate experiences to ask for support. Ask about touch, tapping and prayer, and whether you can decline a particular part of the session.
Connect it with existing care
If symptoms affect everyday functioning, do not make this session your only step. A mental health professional can assess your needs. Discuss additional approaches without interrupting ongoing care.
Read the source in context
Sources help explain the context and limits of the information; they do not endorse the centre.
