The two most common questions asked by those new to tapping are “Does tapping work?” and “How do we know tapping works?” As someone who loves tapping, it’s great that I can share my personal first hand experience of tapping, but for some people it just isn’t enough.
In this conversation David Feinstein and I talk about six criteria to determine whether or not tapping works. Then we move on to what the scientific research has shown as to why tapping works.
I believe this information is useful for a couple of reasons. First, when we know how something works, it makes it easier for us to get the most out of the tool. Second, when we know how and why it works, it makes it much easier to explain to others.
I think this is an essential conversation for anyone who taps and would like to share tapping with others.

This episode is so amazingly helpful for conceptualizing the mechanisms by which EFT works, both for myself and for my clients. As much as I love EFT, I know how important it is to have a basis in science and in research, so that many others in the world will be open to hearing about its many benefits, and to try it out. Thank you Gene and David for this very illuminating episode!
If I for some odd reason I had the power to do so, I would make this required listening for all tapping certification programs. Personally, to embed this info, I will listen to it at least three times this week and teach it to two other people.
I couldn’t agree more Tom!
An easy way to take in and assimilate this valuable research. Thanks Gene! And thank you David.
