Did you mean to say EFT Tapping? I have watched YouTube videos about it, and you can start doing it yourself, now. I don't think it would *hurt* anything to try it. I had difficulty finding a therapist experienced in doing it, though. But I'm hoping it works out for you!

I have tried this just recently it has helped me. I used EFT tapping for emotional anxious responses which I have been getting and by doing them the anxiety is still there but i dont go in to fight or flight mode.

There are people on YouTube who will demonstrate what to do.

I have a colleage, a therapist who uses it as one of several therapies. She has really good things to say about it; her clients give her good feedback and many feel an immediate difference. A lot of people who have tried it through her try it because conventional therapy only gets them to a certain point before they reach a plateau. I have never tried it and from what I remember it is not covered by insurance (don’t quote me on that). I am just relaying what she has told me about it.

I feel vindicated with the current EFT publicity. For most of my life, my habitual "drumming" has been as one of my more irritating habits and attacked on all fronts. It was one of my more stubborn symptoms and I still haven't kicked the habit. I am happy tapping that it finally has a cultural blessing. The blessing hits my senses like hope for the human species.

Take that, you self-appointed critics! Another batch of scathing critic reviews bites the dust! though the critics might have a point about the need for discretion. Math class might not have been the best place to tap along to "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" with traumatized adolescent enthusiasm. Balance in all things.

Arfie I do the same thing haha :) I totally get it.

It didn't help me, but hey, definitely worth giving a try. I've known a couple of people who absolutely swear by it.

I just looked this up on-line, and am going to try an adapted method of it. I tap my feet and touch my hands together in certain situations.

I truly think I may have found a technique to help me with the pain that I am aware of, and I've been doing some of the touches already.

Thank you for sharing. And, I'm aware of it not working for some people. I have to say that the more I learn about the way I react to stress, the easier it is for me to see how self soothing touches would give me the sensation of relaxation in the moment.

Hope it works for you!

Thank you all for the feedback! I’m at the point where I’m willing to try anything. Right now my anixity is at a high point because I am try to face a fear I’ve had for as long as I can remember at any giving day I do have anixity, but right now it’s sky rocketing, but I’m so tired of letting it run my life. I’m praying this can help me through it. If anyone has any tips or trick you use to help with anixity or flight or fight I’d gladly appreciate it!
Sorry about the typo I did me EFT tapping.
Thank you all again!

I'm with you! You can do this! Good for you for trying something new. Hoping it helps you! Is there something in particular that you are anxious about currently, that you care to share so that maybe we can help with specific tips?

I've heard great things about it, but haven't experienced it personally. I have anxiety, as do my children. They were actually trained in Transcendental Meditation to help their anxiety, and the one who does it twice a day, every day says it saved his life. After his first training session, he came out and said he'd never felt such peace in his life. I am saving up for myself to do it too. Might be something to look into.
