Mary Ayers – The Tapping Solution for Anxiety Relief
Description Of The Tapping Solution for Anxiety Relief
Are you struggling with feelings of anxiety, being overwhelmed, fatigue, and intense responsibility?
According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the United States age 18 and older, or 18% of the population.
Are you one of those people who constantly has things running on your mind? Who is unable to unwind, making it difficult to find life enjoyable?
Feelings of anxiety, being overwhelmed, fatigue, and intense responsibility have become par for the course in modern life. “This is just the way life is,” we tell ourselves. “It’s hurried, it’s busy, there’s one thing after another, each stacking on top of the next, to the point where sometimes it’s hard to breathe.”
We have developed patterns, ways of being and thinking, that simply do not serve us and are not sustainable. These patterns lead to unknown pains in our bodies; as well as medical conditions that we tend to blame on biological problems like viruses, bacteria, or other outside forces.
These patterns are why we walk around feeling stressed, anxious, and uncomfortable. They’re why we have trouble sleeping and why we can’t drop the weight we want to. They’re why we feel like there’s too much to do, like the stress will never end! They keep us from being present in the moment and enjoying our lives.
But there is a way to change these patterns and let go of our stress and anxiety, to process our negative emotions, and stop repeating negative patterns! These patterns and negative emotions are not our natural state of being.
Tapping, however, has been scientifically proven to rewire the brain and body to bring it back into balance…
Tapping Works to Rewire the Brain and Body to Eliminate Anxiety and Bring Back Balance
Anxiety in our lives is a result of the nervous system of our brain and body being poorly programmed to unconsciously perceive a heightened level of danger that very often does not exist.
Now that’s not to say that some people do not have actual danger in their lives, but most often with anxiety, our nervous system and the fight or flight system of the amygdala in our brain has reached a point where everyday events are bringing us to a heightened state of danger when there is in fact no real danger. Our nervous system has become overly sensitized because of past events and emotions.
But here’s the good news… the latest research is showing that Tapping actually sends a calming signal to the amygdala of the brain, allowing the brain and body to feel safe, and thus the anxiety to dissipate.
Through Tapping we’re actually able to reprogram the brain to no longer be overly sensitized, allowing us to come back to a more natural, balanced state where we can better differentiate between real threats of danger and everyday events.
If You’re New to Tapping, You’re Probably Wondering… “What is Tapping?”
Tapping, otherwise known as EFT or Emotional Freedom Techniques, is a combination of Ancient Chinese Acupressure and Modern Psychology.
It was developed originally by Roger Callahan in the 1980’s and modified and expanded upon by Gary Craig. Since then, thousands of psychologists, psychiatrists, doctors, coaches and individual users have adopted this powerful technique for use on themselves, their clients, family members and more.
This simple technique literally involves “tapping” on the meridian points of our body while saying certain statements, all with the goal of reprogramming the brain and body to get different results.
EFT has been known to work for years by psychologists, therapists, coaches and everyday people. In recent years a major push has been made for more evidence based research and the results have been astounding!
Clinical research studies with EFT are providing impressive results in a variety of areas such as relief from chronic pain, emotional problems, addictions, phobias, post traumatic stress disorder, athletic performance, PTSD, and among other things…yes…amazing results with weight loss!

Powerful Study Reveals EFT Tapping Promotes a Significant Decrease in Anxiety
During the last 5 years we have seen a surge of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) studying EFT Tapping as a treatment for emotional distress. Although several reviews exist, no previous work has presented a quantitative meta-analysis of the effect of EFT treatment on anxiety- until now!
The Tapping Solution Foundation helped fund this powerful study that was just published in the May 2016 edition of The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease “Emotional Freedom Techniques for Anxiety A Systematic Review With Meta-analysis.”
This analysis applied the most stringent study selection using the American Psychological Association’s (APA) Division 12 (Clinical Psychology) Task Force on Empirically Validated Treatments.
This meta-analysis analyzed the results of 14 randomized controlled trials that included an assessment for anxiety and involved a total of 658 participants. It found a “large” treatment effect.
Critical analysis of the findings of these studies is both clinically important and timely, as the practice of EFT continues to gain adoption in the psychotherapy community. And because of its efficacy and ease of use, EFT may possess significant practical advantages to public health outcomes compared with resource-intensive approaches including CBT.
