Hello

Some years ago when this was new and not many had heard of it I went to see someone who had me doing this , well to be honest I wanted to laugh as I had never come across it before and I thought they were just taking the fun out of me asking me to do it !

But some years later this method is very popular and people do believe in it and say it works , I have never tried it again after all these years but may give it a go now you have reminded me , like I think now what have we to loose it could help

Take Care x

Hi Rayray27, I do EFT tapping for my anxiety and insomnia, I believe in it..so it works for me(did not learn in counselling, just read about one day).After all anxiety is just bad thoughts...lets replace those with affirmative good thoughts take care

I find the tapping is great if you feel panic. If I feel my heart racing I just start tapping my forehead from one side to the other. When you are doing that for a minute or two you can no longer hear your heart pounding and by the time you stop the pounding your heart has stopped racing. I find it is a great distraction. Do try it.
