Most of us have known it as tapping. What it's doing is, we are tapping on end meridian points." "We tap on these end meridian points…and what that does is, it sends a calming signal to the brain." "It's actually been shown, just doing one round of EFT, your levels of cortisol can go down 24% versus traditional talk therapy is 14%." "The tapping basically neutralizes that negative emotion." "The beauty of tapping is really accepting yourself where you are." "Just by tapping, you are decreasing stress in your body." "What's really key with the tapping is we get really specific to an event. What did you hear? What did you see?...We want to clear all of the 5 senses of that event." "Allow them to use their words and feel the emotions…Feel it, tap while you're doing it, and allow it to release. Release the negative charge."   How to Connect with Laura Dixon: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dixonvitality/?hl=en  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/laura.dixon.1481169    Dana Kay Resources: Website: https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ADHDThriveInstitute/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adhdthriveinstitute/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ADHDThriveInstitute  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/adhd-thrive-institute/mycompany/  Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.ph/adhdthriveinstitute/  Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@adhd_thriveinstitute    International Best Selling Book, Thriving with ADHD – https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/book/  Free Reduce ADHD Symptoms Naturally Masterclass – https://bit.ly/3GAbFQl   ADHD Parenting Course – https://info.adhdthriveinstitute.com/parentingadhd ADHD Thrive Method 4 Kids Program – https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/packages/
