Feeling anxious, stressed or stuck? In this episode of The Inner Pickle Podcast, I introduce one of the most powerful self-help tools I’ve used on myself and my clients for over 18 years. EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), also known as tapping.
EFT combines gentle tapping on acupuncture points with focused attention on a problem, emotion, memory, pain, craving or worry. Research suggests it can help regulate the nervous system, reduce stress and anxiety, and support emotional wellbeing.
In this episode you’ll learn:
⭐️ What EFT tapping is and how it works
⭐️ The science behind EFT and the brain-body connection
⭐️ Why EFT can be helpful for anxiety, stress, cravings and pain
⭐️ How EFT may help with difficult memories from the past
⭐️ How to use EFT for worries about the future
⭐️ A simple step-by-step EFT process you can start using immediately
⭐️ The tapping points I use with clients and students
Whether you’re completely new to EFT or looking for a practical way to calm your nervous system, this episode will give you everything you need to get started. The science behind EFT and the brain-body connection.
