Tapping, also known as Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), is a therapeutic practice that combines elements of cognitive therapy and acupressure. It involves tapping on specific points on the body, primarily on the face and hands, while focusing on a particular issue or emotion. This technique aims to reduce stress and anxiety by promoting emotional release and balance. The process typically starts with identifying a specific problem, such as fear or trauma. Practitioners then tap on designated meridian points while repeating affirmations related to the issue. Tapping is believed to help clear emotional blockages and restore a sense of well-being.
