Have you ever felt like you had some much tension and anxiety pinned up in you that you don't know how to deal with it?

Here is an example of one method that I've heard helps people calm their energy when they are feeling overwhelmed and stressed. Check out Kate Moryoussef as she talks about EFT and Tapping.

Kate is based in the UK. She is a well-being coach, EFT coach and she uses a lot of EFT and tapping in her coaching therapy. She realized how beneficial it was before her ADHD diagnosis. Then after her diagnosis she realized how powerful it was to be relieving some of the symptoms of ADHD.

She digs into what EFT/Tapping is, the history of it and the benefits of doing tapping. Then she connects it to ADHD and how it can help a busy mind or body.
