About Tapping

Tapping, clinically known as Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) or psychological acupressure, is a therapeutic procedure performed by psychologists to address emotional distress and physical discomfort. This mind-body intervention combines elements of cognitive therapy with acupressure by having the patient gently tap with their fingertips on specific meridian points on the face and upper body while focusing on a specific problem or negative emotion. The process is designed to reduce the body's stress response, rewire neural pathways associated with distress, and promote emotional regulation. It is used to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, PTSD, phobias, and chronic pain by calming the amygdala and balancing the body's energy system in a non-invasive, patient-led manner.

PATIENT REVIEW

John Miller, a 58-year-old retired firefighter,...

John Miller, a 58-year-old retired firefighter, had been struggling with intense anxiety and vivid nightmares since his retirement two years ago. The sudden quiet and loss of routine left him feeling adrift, and he was haunted by memories of traumatic calls he'd compartmentalized during his career. He experienced panic attacks, insomnia, and a constant feeling of being 'on edge,' which strained his relationship with his wife. His psychologist, recognizing symptoms of complex PTSD, recommended Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Tapping as a somatic and cognitive tool to help process the trapped trauma without requiring him to verbally relive every detail. John was initially skeptical, calling it 'weird voodoo stuff,' but agreed out of desperation. During sessions, he tapped on specific meridian points while focusing on a distressing memory or physical sensation of anxiety. He was surprised to find the process grounding; the rhythmic tapping gave his restless hands something to do and helped lower his physiological arousal enough to briefly tolerate the painful memories. Over eight weeks, the nightmares decreased in frequency and intensity. He reported feeling 'lighter' and more present with his family. While not a cure, tapping became a tool in his toolkit. His emotional journey moved from skeptical resistance to reluctant hope, and finally to a sense of regained agency. He still has difficult days, but now he has a way to calm the storm.
