Pod #3: What is surrogate tapping and how do I it

Over the last few months the most common questions I have received in my inbox are about surrogate tapping. In this episode we take a detailed look at what surrogate tapping is, theories on why it works, and how to use it.

Show Topic:Surrogate tapping can be one of the most confusing topics when learning Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/EvEFT eveft.html). It can be difficult enough to accept that tapping on the body while tuning into physical and emotional issues can provide relief. It becomes a much more difficult leap to believe that tapping in the same way on our own body will provide relief for someone else.

In the episode we explore what surrogate tapping is and a couple of the current theories on why it can be so effective. In addition to that we explore how surrogate tapping can be beneficial for us even when we think we are doing work for someone else’s issues. Finally we talk about a very simple way you can add surrogate tapping to your tapping tool set.
