EFT Tapping for Mental Health

EFT Tapping (or Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a mental health tool.

As May is Mental Health Awareness Month, I’d like to highlight how tapping can support your well-being.

While there are many therapeutic approaches, what makes EFT unique is that it’s also somatic-based.

It goes beyond just talk therapy or trying to process challenges at the mental level alone.

As you tap 🙌 on specific acupressure points, you bring focused attention to your thoughts and feelings—the stress impacting your mental health.

At the same time, you are also noticing what is happening physically when you are under stress.

Instead of sweeping things under the carpet, you acknowledge and work through your inner experiences.

You’re creating a safe space to process these experiences while calming your nervous system.

EFT can be used for daily coping, or for deeper transformation by working through root issues.

It is evidence-based and supported by research studies.

As a mind-body approach, it supports emotional, mental, and physical well-being.

DM “Training” if you’d like to learn how to tap within a structured, trauma-informed framework—whether for self-help or to support your clients.

Are you familiar with celebrities like Tony Robbins, Hugh Jackman and Jason Segel?

Well, they share one thing in common - Tapping.

✨ "Tapping is a breakthrough, research-backed technique that I've used in my life and seen people around the world get incredible results with.” Tony Robbins, renowned motivational speaker and personal development coach

✨ "I don't just endorse this work from the sidelines. I use it myself. I've tapped before massive events. I've tapped in my personal life. I've tapped when I needed to shift my state fast. It's part of my own toolkit, right alongside the methods I've taught for decades.” Tony Robbins, used Tapping for 20 years

✨ "Quite simply, Tapping changed my life. It is the first tool I've found to stop looping and stressful thoughts in their tracks. And beyond that, it has managed to undo and rewrite the programming which starts the loops in the first place.” Jason Segel, actor and screenwriter

✨ “I’ve used Tapping myself. It's simple, powerful, and it works. REWIRED reveals the groundbreaking science and deeply human stories behind Tapping, showing how this simple practice can unlock calm in even the busiest mind." Hugh Jackman, actor playing Wolverine

A new book on Tapping, Rewired, is set to be available on Amazon soon. Another book, Tapping into Your Best Life, featuring a line up of stories was also recently published. Get these books!

Not forgetting, there are others like Prince Harry, Queen Camilla, Madonna, and more who are also known to have used Tapping as a tool to release fear, stress, and emotional overwhelm.

Beyond the growing visibility, what is great is how this practice is being integrated—across high-performance, entertainment, and everyday life.

And the Secret? 😍
EFT Tapping can be used both as an emotional regulation tool for daily stresses or for deep transformational purposes (such as for clearing past trauma).

Your brain can react not only to what’s real, but also to what you vividly imagine.

According to neuroscience, here’s what’s happening:

The brain uses overlapping neural pathways for both real experiences and imagined ones.

So when you mentally rehearse a stressful conversation or fearful situation, your brain and body can respond as if it’s actually happening.

That’s why you might notice:
- a faster heartbeat
- muscle tension
- a surge of stress.

It also explains why:
- you feel anxious thinking about the future
- athletes use visualization to improve performance
- past trauma can still feel very present in the body.

Brain imaging studies even show that when you rehearse something mentally, your brain is “practicing” it.

Over time, the thoughts you repeat begin to shape what you expect—and what you expect starts to feel real.

These patterns don’t just stay in your mind.

They can also be stored in the body as emotional tension and automatic reactions.

While the brain can tell the difference between real and imagined experiences, your body often reacts before that awareness kicks in.

And this is where EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) tapping can help.

By tapping on specific acupressure points while acknowledging what you feel, you calm your nervous system and interrupt the stress response.

Instead of reinforcing the same mental patterns, you create space for new, more regulated responses.

Over time, tapping helps release stored tension and shift how you respond—mentally, emotionally, and physically.

DM "tap" if you'd like to work on breaking free from anxious loops or negative emotional patterns together.

What is EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques)?

At first, EFT seems strange 🤔- there is the tapping action that you need to apply while bringing attention to your stressful thoughts and feelings for processing the problem that you face.

And you may even wonder if it is a valid tool that can help you to release anxiety, tension or overwhelm.

Fortunately, psychological research studies have already shown that it is 🙂

The research findings are…

1) EFT is an integrative mind–body therapy for stress and trauma.

2) Key “active ingredients” include acupoint tapping, exposure within window of tolerance, self-compassion, and focused attention.

3) These drive mechanisms like reducing dysregulation, lowering emotional avoidance, cognitive restructuring, and memory reconsolidation.

✨Tens and thousands of people have already reported improvements in their mental health after tapping. And studies show that the results stay!

✨Suitable for those keen on self-help or if you are a Coach, Counsellor or Wellness Practitioner looking to add a powerful evidence-based tool for working with clients.

I've just completed watching the hit C-drama Pursuit of Jade on Netflix.

Oh boy, what a journey!

The ups, downs and the in-betweens...an emotional but inspiring storyline.

If anything, the story reveals how our past shapes the way we love today.

I've distilled this revelation with 3 specific examples.

[Spoiler Alert] Read it over here

What C-drama "Pursuit of Jade" tells us, how childhood experiences shape the way we love

23/04/2026

Ever felt overwhelmed by anger, sadness, or shame over something seemingly small?

Well, that could point to a trigger.

It's a pattern especially if you are constantly being triggered and you react excessively.

Emotional triggers are not just about what’s happening now—they're clues pointing to what’s unresolved within.

A sharp tone, a dismissive glance, or feeling ignored can instantly activate old wounds from childhood, past relationships, or trauma.

Well, the trigger isn’t the problem.

Rather, it’s an invitation—to pause, feel, and understand what part of you is asking for attention, healing, or boundaries.

Instead of judging yourself for reacting, try asking:
What am I really feeling?
Where have I felt this before?

Awareness is the first step.

Healing begins when we stop avoiding the trigger but to work on releasing the emotional charge that stems from the past.

Hence, the memory can remain but you are no longer bothered by it.

And applying EFT is one way that we can tap to release the attachment tied to the story.

So that you are no longer excessively reactive to the trigger - be it a sharp tone, a dismissive glance, or feeling ignored.

A shift from the inside-out can translate to an improvement in
✨confidence,
✨relationships,
✨success and
✨well-being.

DM me if you need help to break the emotional association tied to the trigger, so that you can start to experience greater freedom, ease and confidence!

Not every love story 💕 falls apart because of a lack of love.

In C-drama Pursuit of Jade, love was always there—
but so much was left unsaid.

Feelings were implied,
intentions misunderstood,
and timing… never quite right.

Sometimes it’s not love that’s missing—
but clarity, communication,
and the courage to be vulnerable 🙏.

🤔So where in your life are things left unsaid?

Because the right words, at the right time,
can change everything.

✨If this resonates, start with an honest conversation.

✨Go deep.

Because being true to your feelings takes courage…

and as the Pursuit of Jade reminds us,
having the right support towards feeling safe might just be the turning point.

DM me if you need help 🙂

Most people see coaching as way to help others improve their lives.

But in truth, while coaching others, I've drastically improved mine too.

It has taught me how to really listen — not to respond, fix, or advise.

It has stretched me to sit with open questions, without rushing to conclusions.

It has challenged me to navigate uncertainty and ambiguity, again and again.

These have helped me to improve my own personal life, shift the relationships with my loved ones and forge an authentic path for my business.

Perhaps most humbling of all —
it reminds me that I am always a work in progress.

As a coach, I don’t just support growth… I live it.

Even after a decade of helping clients,
I continue to invest in my own development.
I continue to hire and work with coaches.
I reflect, unlearn, and evolve — so that I can show up more fully for the people I serve.

The truth is:
The learning in a coaching conversation doesn’t belong to just one person.
Sometimes, I walk away with as many insights as my client does.
Sometimes, even more.

The line between who is “coaching” and who is “learning” becomes beautifully blurred :-)

And maybe that’s what makes this work so powerful.

Coaching isn’t about having all the answers.

It’s about being willing to grow — alongside someone else — in the space of not knowing.

If you've ever wondered what EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is about from the psychology angle, click over to read the article

https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychology/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2026.1672132/full

What I have gathered from the psychology research article…

1) EFT is an integrative mind–body therapy for stress and trauma, combining somatic tapping with psychological processes.

2) Key “active ingredients” include acupoint tapping, exposure within window of tolerance, self-compassion, and focused attention.

3) These drive mechanisms like reducing dysregulation, lowering emotional avoidance, cognitive restructuring, and memory reconsolidation.

The article also
1) counters the claims by sceptics or naysayers (eg. that it is pseudoscience, “purple hat”, etc.)
2) compares EFT and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - a method that is popular).

I didn't read the entire paper word for word, and may have to spend time dissecting all that it says.

But it’s enough (and comforting) to know how EFT works from a psychology angle 🙂

There are already thousands and thousands of results that are attributed to EFT tapping. So it is proven, beyond clinical trials.

What we are seeing now is not the beginning, but the accumulation phase—where research is catching up with practice!

Keep tapping 💕

In the past few days, from the separate conversations I had with coaches, I found out that a few of them share a common experience: low energy levels.

So if you are feeling depleted too, here's a tapping script that may help you with a boost.

Tap on Side of the Hand...
Even though I don’t feel energised right now,
I accept that this is how I feel.

Even though my body feels heavy and tired,
I honour where I am today.

Even though I can't seem to get going,
I love and accept myself anyway.

Top of Head
This low energy in my body

Eyebrow
This lack of energy

Side of Eye
Feeling so drained

Under Eye
My body feels tired

Under Nose
My body feels heavy

Chin
I can't seem to get going

Collarbone
Everything feels like effort

Under Arm
So much heaviness in my system

Top of the Head
Maybe I’ve been pushing too hard

Eyebrow
Maybe I haven’t been listening to my body

Side of Eye
It’s okay to feel this way

Under the Eye
I don’t have to force myself right now

Under the Nose
I can acknowledge what I need

Chin
Even if that means slowing down

Collarbone
Even if that means resting

Under the Arm
I give myself permission to pause.

Take a deep breath in and out and assess how you now feel.

If you are still feeling low, repeat the steps and then reassess. Hopefully, you start to feel better :)

But if you are still unable to get going, it may mean that there are deeper issues that need to be addressed. Reflect on where your lack of energy is coming from and what is actually hindering you.

Reach out to me if you have further questions or need assistance! DM "energy"!

Curious about what inner work is about? 🤔

Inner work isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about reconnecting with who you were
before you learned
to shrink,
to overgive,
to stay quiet,
to survive.

So many of the parts you carry today
once kept you safe.

But what protected you then
may be limiting you now.

Inner work is learning to gently meet those parts…
to create enough safety within
so they no longer have to work so hard.

Not pushing them away.
Not trying to fix them.
But listening, understanding, and integrating.
Inner work is essentially reclaiming all these parts.

And as you TAP into safety
and calm your survival response,
your capacity expands—
to hold more, feel more, and come home to your whole self.

Clients report to the following results after inner work:
✨ Greater ease in how they handle their stressful situations.
✨ Less reactive in their relationships.
✨ Improved confidence in how they show up.
✨ Reduced burnout.
✨ Improvement in sales and business.
✨ Greater well-being.

💐If this resonates, take a breath…
and ask yourself:
Which part of me is asking to be seen or heard?
