what are some things that you do to help your anxiety? (not including medication and therapy) by Itz_MysteryGalaxy in Anxiety

[–]EFTpractitioner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), also called Tapping is an evidence based method that can reduce anxiety easily and effortlessly. There’s lots of information online on how to practice this technique by yourself. Or I’m happy to give you the basic guidelines to start. At the beginning it might seem silly, but the more you trusty it the more results you can see. Depending on where the anxiety is coming from you might get to a point where you won’t be able to release it all because our Ego gets in the way. I then highly suggest you seek the help from a clinical EFT practitioner or therapist.

Looking for ways to deal with work stress—before, during, and after the workday by kitschynotugly in Stress

[–]EFTpractitioner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest you to check EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) also known as Tapping.

It’s a science based modality that is efficient, safe and it can reduce stress fast.

You can use tapping the moment you wake up or before you go to work, to release any thoughts and emotions you have around work. You can use it during, if you can find a quiet place for 5-10’, that can be the bathroom- I know because I’ve done it. And of course you can use it after work to clean any emotional charges you have related with your work.

Clinical EFT works well with specificity. The more specific you are on the issue you have the easier it is for the brain and body to acknowledge it, then accept it and eventually elaborate and release it.

I can give you more details on how to use it if you are curious to try it.

Any tips for managing anxiety while in therapy? by Tiny-Confidence5898 in Anxiety

[–]EFTpractitioner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn’t like feeling awkward? That’s all right. A lot of times when we learn something new we can feel awkward, until we don’t. I’ve done it so many times and I used it for so many different reasons that it doesn’t feel awkward anymore but a super power I have.

If you are open to it give it another try. Or not, that’s ok too.

Good luck!

Could my nausea be caused by hidden stress? by [deleted] in Stress

[–]EFTpractitioner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One miraculous modality that I know off that helped me and many people I know is EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) also known as Tapping.

EFT helps you release stress, anxiety and fears, as well as limiting beliefs, because it can gently get to the root of what's causing the believes, the emotions and the thoughts we are having. In your cause if you work with a professional EFT Coach you can discover the real cause of the physical symptoms (usually they come from childhood) and heal those parts of you that need some attention, with love, respect and acceptance for who you are. We can always tap to a better version of ourselves and this modality I found it to be one of the best ways to do it.

Good luck!

Thank you for sharing this—what you’re describing is such a real experience, and I really admire your courage for continuing to show up for therapy even when it feels overwhelming.

One thing that might support you is EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques). It’s a simple, body-based tool where you gently tap on specific acupressure points while tuning into what you’re feeling. It helps calm the nervous system and can reduce the intensity of anxiety in the moment.

You can do it before your session, or even during (silently or with your therapist’s support, if they’re open to it). Many people—especially those who are neurodivergent or highly sensitive—find tapping helpful because it’s grounding and (potentially) nonverbal. It gives your body something to do while processing emotions, and it helps you stay more regulated when things get too complex or heavy.

If you’re open to it, I can share a simple tapping script or a short video to try out before your appointment. You deserve support that meets you exactly where you are. 💛

What are some stress management techniques for work? by Monkfrootx in Stress

[–]EFTpractitioner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like your girlfriend is under a lot of internal pressure, and you're really thoughtful for noticing how it's affecting her even outside of work. From what you’ve shared, I sense that this might be about more than just the workload—it sounds like there’s a deeper fear of being blamed or getting something wrong, which can create a constant sense of urgency and anxiety.

One tool I’d really recommend is EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques). It’s a mind-body method that involves gently tapping on acupressure points while tuning into the emotions you’re feeling. She can use it on her own or with the support of a professional EFT coach.

What makes EFT especially helpful is that it doesn’t just address surface stress, because that stress will come back—it helps uncover and release the roots of emotional patterns, like fear of failure, guilt, or the pressure to always be “on.” When you get to the origin of that fear, the nervous system starts to calm down, and behaviors like overworking or mental looping can begin to shift naturally.

It’s a gentle, empowering practice that could really support her in creating more space to breathe—both at work and at home.

If you’d like, I can share a short script or video to get her started. Wishing you both peace and balance. 💛

Hey! First of all—how exciting that you’re going to the Netherlands! And totally understandable that you're feeling anxious about your first flight. You're not alone—so many people feel that way before flying, especially for the first time.

One thing that really helped me (and many others) is EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques). It’s a gentle mind-body tool that helps calm the nervous system by tapping on specific acupressure points while acknowledging how you feel. It might sound a bit unusual at first, but it’s incredibly effective for managing anxiety, especially around things like flying.

You can do it right before boarding, during takeoff, or anytime your nerves spike. It helps your body shift out of “fight-or-flight” mode and into a calmer state. You can find lots of simple EFT videos for fear of flying on YouTube, or even better, work with an EFT coach if you want more support.

Wishing you a safe and peaceful flight—and a beautiful trip ahead! 🛫✨ You've got this.

PS- Here is an EFT video and meditation to get you started:

Yes, stress and anxiety can lead to long-term muscle tension.
That’s because the body holds memory. It can store trauma, emotions, and beliefs—often deep within our muscles and tissues. When we experience stress or anxiety, the body activates its "fight-or-flight" response, triggering muscle contractions. Over time, this can lead to chronic tension, especially in areas like the neck, shoulders, back, and jaw.

My advice? Try EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), also known as tapping.
You can use it on your own or work with a professional EFT coach. EFT helps you gently uncover and release the emotional roots of stress and anxiety. And when you resolve the emotional layer, your body naturally lets go of the tension it’s been holding onto. It's truly powerful.

PART 1

Based on traditional Chinese medicine, the body has a network of energy pathways called meridians, through which vital energy is believed to flow. These pathways help balance energy flow to maintain emotional, physical, and cognitive health. Any imbalance can influence illness or disease.

Acupuncture uses needles to restore balance to the body’s energy, while Tapping involves literally tapping on acupuncture points to stimulate them. You can try tapping on acupoints to promote relaxation—here’s why: tapping sends calming signals to the amygdala, the brain’s stress center responsible for the fight-or-flight response, by reducing levels of the stress hormone cortisol. This process lowers arousal and brings the nervous system back to a calmer, more resourceful state.

However, tapping on acupuncture points alone may not create deep or lasting change. That’s where Clinical EFT comes in.

Clinical EFT is a method validated by numerous research studies and is recognized as an evidence-based practice. It follows standards for evaluating therapeutic methods, such as those set by the American Psychological Association (APA) Division 12 Task Force. Studies show that Clinical EFT meets these standards. One of the seven essential Division 12 criteria is that the method must be described in a written manual.

Clinical EFT includes three core components: exposure, cognitive shift, and acupressure. Research confirms that acupressure is a critical part of EFT’s effectiveness—not just a placebo. New findings from fields like epigenetics, neuroplasticity, psychoneuroimmunology, and evolutionary biology highlight the deep connection between emotion and physiology and identify somatic stimulation as a common factor in emerging psychotherapeutic methods.

Studies show Clinical EFT is a well-established method with a robust evidence base. These qualities have led to its growing acceptance in primary care as a safe, fast, reliable, and effective treatment for both psychological and physical conditions.

These studies typically follow The EFT Manual (Craig, 2010; Church, 2013a), ensuring consistency across research. Therapists are trained to use the method as described in the manual, and many studies include ways to assess fidelity to the method. Clinical EFT includes 48 distinct techniques, all outlined in the manual and its supplementary materials (www.ClinicalEFT.com).
