One of my favourite stress management tools is EFT aka Tapping. It’s becoming more and more popular and is being used across the globe in hospitals, psychotherapy clinics, sports fields, business coaching practices, in schools and so much more.
One of the many reasons it’s so powerful is that it’s a very quick and gentle method for reducing the intensity of traumatic memories. There isn’t a single person on the planet who hasn’t had at least some trauma growing up.
For some, these traumatic events were rare and mild. For others, the traumatic events of their childhood were horrific, like genocide, rape, or war.
Most of us fall somewhere in between these two extremes.
Over the years we’ve built up a backlog of traumatic memories, reinforced by negative experiences as young adults. By the time we’re fully grown adults, we’ve formed behaviours and coping strategies based on these experiences.
EFT is a powerful way of releasing emotional memories. Even after just tapping for the first few minutes you are likely to find the intensity of your traumatic recollections rapidly drop.
There are now so many scientific studies of EFT for depression, anxiety, and other psychological problems. They show that people who use EFT recover very quickly, often in just a few sessions.
Having first hand experience of having used it to help me overcome anxiety and depression, I know only too well how powerful a tool it really is. Always work with an experienced practitioner for safest and best results though.
