Everyone experiences stress and anxiety on a daily basis. The way it will manifest in our lives though lies in how we deal with these stressors and anxiety-inducing factors. Sadly, for some people, when stress is not managed properly it will manifest through sickness and other forms of physical symptoms and other problems in behavior. 

In this week’s podcast episode, Dawn Pensack introduces a simple stress management technique that is easy for everyone to do. Dawn is a master practitioner of the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), which she came across when she was under a lot of stress after her first pregnancy. In this episode, we will also talk about how she transitions from being a school teacher to teaching individuals and groups on how to handle and live a calm and happy life, the effects of tapping on people who are undergoing emotional problems, what the tapping process is, and other tapping techniques that are available.
