The Science of EFT Tapping: How Tapping Really Can Reduce Stress and Anxiety With Jacqui Acree

What if you could stop spiralling, calm your nervous system and actually create some space between something happening and your reaction to it?

In this episode, we’re joined by EFT practitioner Jacqui Acree to talk all things EFT tapping, nervous system regulation and why tapping might be far more interesting than you think.

We get into what is EFT, what’s happening in your brain and body when you tap, and why it can be so helpful for stress, anxiety, emotional overwhelm and those reactions that sometimes seem to come out of nowhere.

Jacqui shares how tapping helped her process her own intense reactions, why our present-day responses can be connected to past experiences, and how tapping can help us access a different perspective without bypassing difficult emotions.

We also speak on manifestation, self-trust and procrastination before finishing with a live EFT tapping exercise that you can try for yourself thanks to Jacqui.
