I recall watching one of the morning "news" TV shows, and a man was showing a "tapping" technique, which I believe, is part of EFT.
There are many national organizations dedicated to helping consumers with finding the right treatment options, on a wide spectrum of "traditional" medicine to complimentary and alternative health practices. Unfortunately, I have not found any information on "EFT" or "tapping" on these credible sites; the sites that do mention EFT have the primary purpose of selling their products (that is, they do not even tell us how to practice EFT until we buy their book/video!).
Deepak Chopra's website (http://www.chopra.com/community), did mention EFT, along with meditation, as a behavioral technique to help "release unconscious fear" (you may view his answer here). After my research, I am unclear if EFT is more similar to acupressure or meditation at this point (have you tried either of these?); maybe Coach Virginia can tell us more about EFT?
However, don't be discouraged by my (lack of) findings. If EFT or tapping has worked for others, you may find it beneficial for yourself! Since you asked about how to learn about EFT, a quick search for "Emotional Freedom Technique" on amazon.com or other online bookstore will result in a dozen books and videos on the subject.
Hope this information helps, rather than adds to the confusion!

The National Centers for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) did not list "EFT" or "tapping" as an evidence-based approach, nor did the American Association of Acupuncturists and Oriental Medicine (AAAOM).
