AFT (Aromatherapy) Session
Aroma Freedom Technique Practitioner
The Aroma Freedom Technique (AFT) method was designed by Clinical Psychologist, Benjamin Perkus, PhD, in private practice since 1996. AFT combines inhaling specific essential oils with proven psychological principles in a step-by-step process to quickly identify and gently dissolve and release negative thoughts, feelings, and memories. It has been shown to be at least as effective as EMDR and EFT.

Smelling essential oils calms the amygdala, the fight-or-flight decision-maker in the limbic system which is in charge of emotions. By calming the amygdala, the hippocampus, the memory “filing cabinet” of the brain, then knows it is safe to reprocess outdated memories and create new neural pathways. AFT is a fast, gentle, and effective way to become free of these negative events permanently and without side effects. Emotional freedom comes from releasing old unwanted patterns of thought and behavior.
“AFT has replaced most of what I used to do as a psychologist because it is so effective and integrates other approaches I used to use.” -Dr. Perkus
