Paul J. Hermelin is a certified Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) practitioner based out of Sierra Madre, CA and is accredited through EFT International. Paul teaches people how to manage their stress by “tapping” on select acupoints located on the hands, face and upper body, which send electrical impulses through the nervous system to the part of the brain that regulates the body’s stress response. This method, which is partially based on Traditional Chinese Medicine, has a calming effect both on the mind and body, reducing both cortisol and adrenaline levels, helping a person to feel less overwhelmed and become more relaxed and more focused. 

Paul also applies clinical EFT, which combines elements of acupressure, CBT, and exposure therapy, for those clients who want to reduce the intensity of strong, negative emotions or troubling thoughts related to unpleasant memories or difficult moments from their past that still have an unwanted effect on them as adults. By applying clinical EFT and using gentle techniques to keep the nervous system regulated, clients can release emotional blockages and experience a positive shift in their perception of themselves and others to gain a healthier outlook. Paul works with clients across the state of California through video chat (Zoom), and also sees clients in person at his Sierra Madre office. He offers a free, 20-minute online consultation and can be reached either by email at Paul@EFTForAuthenticLiving.com or by phone or text at (626) 660-7942.
