Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping)
Tapping is a form of energy psychology (EP), which comprises a family of methods designed to improve your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
“Tapping is one of the most direct and powerful ways to peel away those layers of chronic stress.”
— Dr. Mark Hyman
EP methods focus on your thoughts, feelings and emotions while you activate some aspect of the bio-energy system of the body. This usually involves tapping or touching certain places on your body, such as meridian points or chakras. This calms the body, clearing stress and trauma that are held there. The result? It's easier to move on and break through to a more expansive experience of life.
Most EP approaches are gentle and do not require that you relive traumatic memories. In addition, you will often learn self-help methods you can use on your own. EP approaches can rapidly help people reduce strong painful emotions, process traumatic events, shift limiting beliefs and live with greater love.
You can use some energy psychology techniques by yourself and it can also be part of your work with a therapist, coach or other trained professional.
Common examples of energy psychology:
