EFT vs. Matrix Reimprinting: What’s the Difference?
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), often called tapping, is a gentle yet powerful tool that combines ancient Chinese acupressure points with modern psychology. By tapping on specific meridian points while focusing on an issue, we can calm the body’s stress response, reduce anxiety, and bring the nervous system back into balance.
Matrix Reimprinting builds on EFT but takes the process even deeper. While EFT works beautifully to reduce the emotional charge around a memory or belief, Matrix Reimprinting helps us step inside those memories, meet our younger selves, and gently transform the imprints that were laid down at the time of trauma or stress.
Think of it this way:
EFT is like clearing the storm clouds so you can feel calm again.
Matrix Reimprinting is like planting new seeds in the soil of your subconscious, allowing you to rewrite the story and create a brighter, more empowered future.
Both techniques are safe, gentle, and profoundly healing — but Matrix often feels more transformational because it helps you not only release the old pain, but also create new, positive imprints in its place.
When I first trained in Matrix Reimprinting, I was struck by how much it opened up connections I hadn’t seen before. One memory that stays with me is of my dad, who worked so hard yet still washed all the dishes after I had baked all day. At the time, I hadn’t realised the depth of that sacrifice — that it was his day off, and still he gave his time to support me. In Matrix work, that moment helped me feel and receive his love in a new way. And even more significant was later to discover that he knew I wasn't his biological Dad! My eldest brother was very angry when he heard this saying "You were his favourite, he loved you the most and yet he knew you weren't even his!"
It’s these kinds of shifts — simple, profound, and deeply healing — that make Matrix Reimprinting such a gift.
Working Together
As a qualified practitioner in both EFT and Matrix Reimprinting, I can support you in moving from fear and pain toward coherence and peace. Together, we can work with your heart’s own wisdom to bring healing, clarity, and a new story of empowerment. Read on:
Matrix Reimprinting builds on the foundations of EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), taking the work to a deeper and more transformative level. Where EFT helps to release emotional blocks by calming the nervous system and reducing the stress response. It was created by Karl Dawson, EFT Master.
Matrix Reimprinting allows us to step into our past experiences and actually transform the way we hold them in our mind and body.
Rather than simply “tapping away” distress, Matrix invites us to connect gently with earlier versions of ourselves — the parts of us that were present at the time of a difficult or traumatic event. By working with compassion and safety, we can bring healing, understanding, and new resources to these younger selves. This changes not just how we feel in the moment, but how those memories live within us, allowing for profound shifts in our beliefs and behaviours today.
How it’s different from EFT alone:
Deeper connection: Instead of just calming a painful memory, we engage directly with it and reframe it in a way that supports growth and healing.
Transformational: We don’t just reduce the charge of the memory — we rewrite how it is stored in the subconscious mind.
Gentle and empowering: There’s no need to relive trauma. We approach the memory as if watching from a safe distance, with tools that ensure you remain grounded and supported.
Wide-reaching benefits: Because we are reshaping the subconscious, shifts often ripple out into physical health, emotional well-being, relationships, and even ancestral patterns.
Matrix Reimprinting is particularly powerful for transforming core beliefs formed in childhood, allowing us to step into a freer, more authentic version of ourselves.
If you’ve tried EFT and felt the relief it can bring, Matrix Reimprinting may be the next step in your healing journey. It takes you beyond simply releasing stress, into rewriting the story you carry — and in doing so, it opens the door to a more peaceful and empowered future.
Not at all — you can do EFT by yourself using the tapping points and some simple phrases. But if you’re working through something very deep or painful, a practitioner can guide you safely and help you go further.
That’s actually a good sign — it means the emotion is moving and being released. If it feels overwhelming, just pause, take a breath, and keep tapping gently until you feel calmer.
As often as you like. Some people use it daily as part of their self-care, others only when something comes up. Even a few minutes can make a difference.
Sometimes feelings rise up before they ease. That can feel uncomfortable in the moment, but it usually settles quickly. If it ever feels too much, stop, breathe, drink some water, and return when you’re ready
