In this conversation, Jessica Ortner discusses Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), commonly known as tapping, and its role in managing anxiety. She explains how anxiety manifests not just in thoughts but also physically in the body. By using tapping, individuals can unlock the memories and thoughts that trigger physical anxiety responses, allowing for a calming effect on the brain and a reconnection with the present moment. Tapping is highly recommended for anxiety management, mind-body connection, stress relief, calming techniques, mental health, and emotional wellness.
