Summary
What if the reason you keep getting triggered — by a comment, a moment, a relationship dynamic, even a “small” stressor — isn’t about what’s happening now… but about what your body is still holding from then?In today’s episode, I’m joined by Sophia Torini, a Clinical EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) practitioner, to break down what EFT tapping actually is (beyond the TikTok version), why it’s considered evidence-based, and how it can help you process stored emotions so you’re not stuck replaying old patterns on repeat.We talk about how emotions can live in the body (hello, tight chest, knots in your stomach), why so many of us numb out with busyness, scrolling, shopping, or overworking, and what it really means to “process” an emotion without spiraling into the story. Sophia also explains why the years from pregnancy through childhood can be so formative — and how what you saw and felt when you were young can show up later in your relationships, confidence, and nervous system.If you’ve been feeling anxious, reactive, disconnected from your intuition, or like you “know you need to do the work” but you’re scared of what it’ll bring up — this conversation is for you. Listen with an open mind.Learn more from Sophia HEREFollow Sophia on Insta HERE
