    Understanding Codependency Through EFT: Insights and Techniques

    The salient point of this podcast episode revolves around the exploration of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and its profound implications for emotional health and well-being. I am joined by Sophia Torini, an expert in the field, as we delve into the intricacies of EFT, which combines cognitive psychotherapy with the practice of tapping on specific acupuncture points on the body.
