**8.3 Emotional freedom technique**

EFT is a gentle psychological intervention that may be readily taught and given by oneself. Subjects gently touch acupressure sites on the head, body, and hands with their fingertips, relating this to speaking certain sentences. According to recent systematic evaluations, EFT is useful for several psychiatric illnesses, including lowering presentation and test-taking anxiety and improving sports performance. According to new research, EFT is a viable therapy for students' presentation and exam anxiety. For example, EFT was demonstrated to dramatically reduce presentation anxiety in university students and looked into the effects of EFT and Progressive Muscular Relaxation (PMR) on exam anxiety among Turkish university students [35]. This can be beneficial in institutions of higher learning where presentations are highly regarded as a mode of learning.
