EFT Tapping facilitates a release of stress and a return to emotional equilibrium.
In today's fast-paced world, we're constantly bombarded by deadlines, distractions, and demands. This relentless pace of life can take a significant toll on our health and happiness.
Feeling overwhelmed with stress can lead to a range of negative emotions, including:
Anxiety: A sense of impending doom or worry about what needs to be done can become pervasive.
Resentment: Constantly being in a rush may result in resentment towards responsibilities, commitments, or even oneself.
Frustration: Constantly battling the demands of stress can foster a sense of frustration with yourself and your circumstances.
Sadness: Overwhelm can overshadow moments of joy, leading to feelings of sadness or emotional numbness.
Guilt: The inability to meet expectations or deadlines can result in guilt, especially if you feel you are letting others down.
Fear: Worries about future outcomes or consequences can create an ongoing sense of fear and dread.
Disconnection: Feeling overwhelmed can cause emotional detachment from people or activities that were once enjoyable and fulfilling.
Self-Doubt: Chronic stress can lead to questioning one's abilities or worth, fostering feelings of inadequacy.
Exhaustion: Emotional and mental fatigue can make it difficult to engage with life fully, leading to feelings of burnout.
Reduced Resilience: Chronic stress can diminish resilience, making it harder to bounce back from challenges affecting overall life satisfaction.
These emotions can significantly impact mental and physical health and overall well-being. Recognizing and addressing these feelings with EFT Tapping is crucial for finding balance and relief.
Tapping, also known as Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), is a therapeutic approach that combines elements of cognitive behavior therapy, exposure therapy and acupressure.
Here's how tapping can help recognize and address feelings that underpin stress:
Identification of Emotions: Tapping begins with identifying specific emotions, feelings or issues causing stress. This process encourages you to articulate your feelings and notice what you are experiencing.
Physical Connection: By tapping on specific acupressure points on the body while focusing on these emotions, you create a mind-body connection which can help you release pent-up energy associated with stress.
Emotional Release: The combination of verbalizing your feelings and tapping on acupressure points facilitates emotional release and reduces the intensity of negative emotions, making them easier to process.
Reframing Thoughts: As we tap together and you release your negative emotions and thought patterns associated with your stress, you have the opportunity to instinctively reframe the situation and transform your negative thought patterns into more constructive and empowering beliefs.
Calming the Nervous System: Tapping activates the body's relaxation response, reducing cortisol and adrenaline levels. This physiological shift can help alleviate feelings of overwhelm and anxiety.
Increased Resilience: Regular tapping can foster emotional resilience, enabling you to better cope with stressors in the future. It reinforces the ability to recognize and address feelings as they arise.
Accessibility: Tapping can be done anywhere and at any time, providing a practical tool for you to manage stress on your own, making it a valuable addition to your stress management strategies.
These emotions can significantly impact mental health and overall well-being. Recognizing and addressing these feelings is crucial for finding balance and relief.
The encouraging news is that we have the ability to rewire our bodies and break free from this dependence on stress.
By tapping on specific acupressure points while focusing on the triggers that cause your stress, you can:
✔ Improve emotional regulation
✔ Release pent-up emotions
✔ Reduce stress and anxiety
✔ Relax and improve your quality of sleep
✔ Create a positive mindset
✔ Increase your energy and motivations
✔ Experience a greater sense of peace and happiness
✔ Boost your confidence and overall being.
In my role as an EFT Tapping Practitioner, I provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore and process your emotional stressors.
In our sessions, we work together to identify your specific stress triggers, the emotions connected to them and the area of the body where you feel the distress. These are often held in place by a number of underlying core issues or adverse experiences.
Let’s imagine this simple example… Imagine that you have a colleague who likes to give you ‘constructive criticism’ on your work. Each time she does you notice you feel angry; you feel a constricted sensation in your throat and a sick feeling in the pit of your stomach. You nod and smile and swallow your feelings.
Tapping on specific acupressure points while tuning in to the energy of this experience and the associated emotions and sensations, you begin to notice you feel calmer and more able to think clearly then a memory may pop up that reminds you an earlier time you felt like this. You may recall a teacher or parent giving you less than positive feedback on your school work. From these experiences you may have formed a belief that you don’t have the right to “answer back” so you learned to smile and nod and swallow your feelings.
Over time in an unhurried, safe, relaxed space we tap on these scenarios and you notice you feel your anger subside and your throat and stomach relax. You sense a growing urge to speak up for yourself to your colleague. You reframe the situation imagining yourself speaking your truth clearly and confidently with your colleague thus feel more empowered, relaxed and healed.
EFT Tapping can help you to discover the emotional freedom to respond with clarity not react from a place of unresolved anger, hurt or fear.
