Tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique) When I talk about pain, I am referring to all types of pain. The pain of body aches and mental states such as grief, loss, fear, anxiety, panic and depression. Tapping (E.F.T.) is an innovative technique that uses behavioral therapy and acupressure points to manage pain in a variety of ways. You can learn to tap on these points and use the setup protocol for a variety of situations. Recently, another dog attacked my dog. As I pulled my dog away, I fell and tripped on the sidewalk. I felt frozen and did not feel I could get up. The thought of tapping entered my mind. In just a few minutes of tapping, I was able to release the pain and fear associated with this experience. Surprisingly to me, I was able to talk to the dog owner in a calm way and find out more about her dog with some resolution. When I got home, I reflected on the process that I teach many of my clients. Through this direct experience, I was able to rely on my knowledge with greater confidence that it works. There are many studies about the effects of Tapping showing that the tapping process lowers your cortisol level so effectively that researchers are astounded by the results. Cortisol is the hormone that increases when we get triggered by pain in physical or emotional experiences. I invite you to call me and learn this safe and effective way to deal with your pain.
