Tapping Into Behavior Change: ABA Meets EFT, Manifestation, and Mindset

Listen Later

Can you really blend evidence-based ABA with energy work like tapping and manifestation? In this episode of EveryDay ABA, the hosts interview intuitive mindset and manifestation coach Elizabeth Plancon to explore how behavior analysis intersects with nervous system regulation, self-talk, and somatic healing. Plancon discusses how practices such as EFT tapping, breathwork, and affirmations align with behavior-analytic concepts like motivating operations, rule-governed behavior, and self-management. She guides listeners through a live tapping session and offers insight into how nervous system regulation supports sustainable behavior change. Drawing from both behavior science and popular mindset literature—including the works of Skinner, Seligman, Dispenza, and Goddard—this episode offers a unique blend of practical tools and theory. The conversation provides a behavior-analytic lens on intuition, energy work, and everyday wellness.
