Episode 23 Tapping using EFT for Birth Trauma
Manage episode 311395934 series 3117766
The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or "tapping") has been around for a while. I learned it in my masters training 13 odd years ago, but then dismissed it. I allowed an old mentor to let me believe it was too "wu wu" and not scientific enough. Now that I've been working through some of my own old traumas and programming, I've come back to it.
I like it because it's something practical you can teach yourself (and your kids!). Tapping is like using psychological acupressure. By that, I mean it uses principles from Traditional Chinese Medicine where you stimulate meridian points. I LOVED using acupressure and acupuncture for pregnancy and birth, and we now have the MRI studies to show that the brain floods with endorphins.
Just about every form of therapy also uses coping statements, affirmations and positive self-talk. The way that we speak to ourselves impacts our subconscious, our confidence, the way we view our reality and thus shows up in every choice and every behaviour.
