No, EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique. Based on Field Therapy (which you may hear people like Paul McKenna talk about frequently), Gary Craig in the US developed the technique considerably further and called it EFT.
I like EFT personally because to my mind it partners up two very powerful techniques that I already practice. The first is Karate. Well, not exactly karate, but pressure points. We know that the Chinese use these meridian points and nodes for all sorts of therapies (particularly acupuncture) but martial artists also know that pressure points are extremely sensitive. The second technique is NLP (see my post about NLP on this blog). Part of NLP is about using language to reinforce positive messages. EFT partners the physical (meridian points) with the mental (positive language) to create results that are therapeutic.
OK, EFT isn't for everyone - different techniques work for different people not just because of any scientifically proven efficacy but because of what an individual is personally happy to believe.
I took a level 1 course in EFT here in the UK with a lovely lady called Alison Munro. I had the opportunity to use EFT very shortly after completing the course when I was in the US, visiting a friend.
I use it regularly to help myself with challenges and problems and difficulties or just to make myself feel better when I'm ill.
It is not a catch all, cure all for me, but it certainly is a great tool to have in my portfolio of personal skills. I'd love to do Level 2 at some point, but life is very busy running the business and all the many other things I do that occupy my time.
