WHAT DOES THE RESEARCH SAY ABOUT TAPPING?
Tapping is a scientifically proven technique that works quickly and is easy to do. It was discovered by Dr. Callahan in 1980 and has been shown to decrease anxiety by 40% in clinical tests. This technique combines simple ways of understanding how our minds work with ancient knowledge about energy. It's been thoroughly studied and even endorsed by respected institutions like the US Army and Harvard Medical School.
In research, it has shown even better results than Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and is often suggested by therapists for situations where nothing else seems to help. It's a powerful tool to help us perform at our best in both work and life. This self-improvement method not only reduces unhelpful feelings and beliefs, but with regular use, it also boosts our positivity, productivity, and overall well-being.
And the best part? It's incredibly fast to use, fits right into your daily routine, and so easy get started with.
