EFT helps me to feel ...

What emotions do you find yourself shying away from? When you feel what is a difficult emotion, try saying when you tap “tapping helps me to feel ...”.

Ask yourself how you know that the emotion you're feeling is fear and not anger for example. What helps you to identify it as fear, what do you feel like when you feel afraid? What do you feel like when you feel angry? jealous? guilty? Keep tapping until you feel the emotion starting to move, leaving you feeling calmer and more able to feel uncomfortable and difficult emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them.

Your tapping might go something like this;

Top of head: Tapping helps me feel this fear

Eyebrow: Even though I don't want to feel it

Side of the eye: Because it's frightening

Under eye: It feels like it could take over

Under the nose: And sometimes it does

Under the chin: And then I panic

Collar bone: And it feels awful

Under the arm: I have to do something to not feel afraid

Top of the head: Because it feels so frightening

Eyebrow: I feel afraid

Side of the eye: I feel afraid

Under the eye: How do I know I feel afraid?

Under the nose: Because I feel it ... (knot in throat, tight stomach, sweating, shallow breathing, tap on how fear shows up for you in your body)

Under the chin: My stomach is in knots

Collar bone: It feels constricting

Under the arm: This fear feels constricting

Top of the head: It feels like it's in control

Eyebrow: And I'm powerless

Side of the eye: It's very hard to do anything but feel afraid sometimes

Under the eye: It's so hard to feel this fear

Under the nose: But I feel it

Under the chin: Otherwise I wouldn't know what fear feels like

Collar bone: I'm afraid of what fully feeling this fear could do to me

Under the arm: So I have to avoid it ...

Or you can keep it really simple and say "EFT helps me to feel fear" as you're tapping on all the points.
