The basics of EFT/Tapping can get great results and are easily learnt. Many people get into EFT/Tapping through social media videos and end up developing their own self practice. Self work is highly encouraged to keep on top of stressors as they arise.
However, there are times where working with a practitioner can help for certain concerns and assist you with making your self work more effective.
This series of posts over the next ten weeks highlights these factors to help improve your self practice and indicate when working with an accredited practitioner can lead to deeper, longer lasting benefits.
Factor 1.
Being too general.
This happens a lot when doing pre-scripted social media tapping. The content is very general and while some of it will resonate, there will be aspects particular to your current experience that the content doesn’t address.
Our aim is to be as specific as possible with our wording. If you’re tapping while saying anger but what you’re really feeling is frustration, it won’t have the same effect. Additionally, who or what is that frustration connected to? The more we connect with what is real for us, the more impact EFT/Tapping has.
If you're using EFT/Tapping for self work but feel like you’re just going around in circles, having a few sessions with a practitioner can help you work through this and you will have a better understanding of how you can improve your self practice.
