FOR PRACTITIONERS

​​

"One of the big benefits of Clean Language with EFT is that it means the practitioner does not have to work so hard.  This is great for new practitioners who do not have the experience to know what to say in some situations with a client.  Clean Language makes the client come up with the words." - Philip Davis, Creator of Picture Tapping Technique

Clean Language can deeply enrich EFT sessions by helping clients stay grounded in their own experience without practitioner interference.

​

​

• Stay present and kind with clients who need to talk it through

​

"Through the use of Clean Language in our EFT tapping sessions, Daniel helped me uncover and gently shift deep emotional patterns I didn’t even realize were holding me back."

​​

🌱 What is Clean Language?

 

Clean Language is a communication method originally discovered by David Grove. It was then further developed by James Lawley & Penny Tompkins and expanded by Judy Rees and Wendy Sullivan.

 

It uses specific, non-leading questions to explore a client’s inner world, especially metaphors, without introducing the practitioner’s assumptions.

 

It’s designed to respect the client’s language, pace, and internal logic.

​

🧩 Why Integrate it with EFT?

 

• Enhances rapport and trust.

• Helps the client discover their own deeper insights and metaphoric structures.

• Keeps tapping targets clean and clear.

• Prevents practitioner bias from muddying the process.

​

 

🛠️ The Basic Clean Questions

 

The core “clean” questions that can be immediately useful in EFT:

 

• “What kind of X is that X?”

• “Is there anything else about X?”

• “Where is X?” or “Whereabouts is X?”

• “That X is like what?” (X = client’s word or phrase)

• "What happens just before X?"

 

For example: Client says, “I feel stuck.” You might ask, “What kind of stuck is that stuck?” or “And where is that stuck?”

​

​

🎯 How to Use It in a Tapping Session

 

Before tapping: Use Clean Questions to explore the emotional landscape.

 

During: Pause tapping occasionally to deepen with Clean Questions.

 

After: Help the client process shifts by staying with their own metaphors and images.

​

 

📚 Keep It Simple

 

Clean Language isn’t a whole new modality—it’s a precision tool that complements EFT.

 

You don’t need to master all 60+ questions. Just a few go a long way.

🧠 Experience a Clean Language question yourself:

Ask: “When you’re working at your best as an EFT practitioner,
it’s like...what?”

Then use Clean Questions to explore your metaphor.

Feel the effect!
