Anxiety, the tightness in your chest, shoulders rising up toward your ears, dry mouth, sweaty palms, heart pounding…sound / feel familiar? Anxiety goes hand-in-hand with ADHD, the flip into fight/flight/freeze when you feel overwhelmed, when you tell yourself you are not measuring up (again), when you worry you will fail again. Negative self-talk and fear of what will happen triggers cortisol, the stress response hormone which gears your brain up for action. Cortisol also cuts off the pathways to the think-things-through parts of your brain, the executive function part. Constant stress keeps cortisol levels high, interfering with thought processing, memory, attention and keeping hypervigilance going. That is exhausting !
What if you could drop your anxiety levels in half within 5 minutes? What if you had the tools to do that with you all the time? Tapping is an Emotional Freedom Technique. EFT changes brain chemistry, changes self-perception, opening up more possibilities than fight/flight/freeze reactions. My guest in this episode is Theresa Lear Levine, a Master EFT Practitioner who has lived the overwhelmed anxious life and transformed that into a lower stress confident approach to life. We discuss how EFT works and how to use it, when to use it, and even demonstrate the process! Theresa has many resources available for us to learn more about EFT, many are free and can get you started.
