Research into Emotional Freedom Technique (or tapping) began in the 1990s. This blog post includes excerpts of Dr Peta Stapleton’s work, and her book The Science of Tapping; as well as several links to research papers on EFT.

Grab yourself a cuppa and read up… Pain – tap on the physical sensations, rate it out of 10, and keep tapping until the number comes down Stress – figure out where in your body you feel stressed (face? head? chest?) and tap on those physical feelings.

Great question. The truthful answer is, I don’t know why you should… I don’t know anything about you! But at a guess, perhaps you’ve heard good things? All I know right now, is that something about it has piqued your interest. Maybe you’re wondering what all the fuss is about? The reason you should try […]
