It's Therapeutic Thursday

Today is Therapeutic Thursday at Aortic Hope.

❓Tapping, ever heard of it? Well, simply put EFT stands for “Emotional Freedom Technique,” a protocol developed by Gary Craig that combines elements of Eastern medicine with Western psychology. Tapping is a way of self-soothing and reducing stress and a very fun and easy way.

In Dreahunt, author Andrea Hunt writes extensively about Tapping in an article titled "EFT Tapping & its Life-Changing Importance For Your Emotional Health".

💆‍♀️"EFT tapping is applied to energy meridian points on one’s body following a specific sequence while a person focuses his thoughts and emotions on the issue he or she wants to address. EFT tapping can improves your emotional health as a helpful tool to manage and self-regulate by focusing on emotional and mental health by reducing stress and negative emotions as well as enhancing your self-esteem. Simply put, it makes you feel good to manage your emotions and EFT helps do that." Andrea goes on to say that "According to scientists, EFT tapping, like acupuncture, releases energy to activate a person’s central nervous system and turn off the fight or flight response within the brain. Unlike acupuncture, however, EFT tapping doesn’t require needles, only pressure using the fingers to lightly tap on the points"
