Often, stressful, painful memories from the past feel as terrifying and upsetting today as they did years ago… But what if that could change? Not the memory itself, but your body's panic response to it? Revolutionary neuroscience reveals that while we can't erase what happened, we can completely transform how our nervous system reacts to those memories. In this video, I explain memory reconsolidation—how when you recall a stressful memory, your brain briefly unlocks it and allows it to become “editable”. In this video you'll learn how this works, how EFT Tapping provides the perfect conditions for rewriting stressful memories, and why this explains the rapid, lasting results seen in phobia treatments. From lifelong fears vanishing in minutes to PTSD symptoms dissolving, I'll show you the science behind why so many people have used this technique to stop being controlled by their past. Ready to learn how to finally live in the safety of now, instead of the danger of then? Because that thing that terrified you? It's over. Your nervous system just needs the update.

Anxiety isn't a character flaw—it's your brain's overzealous security system. In this video, I break down the psychology of why anxiety happens, what's actually occurring in your brain during panic, and how EFT Tapping uniquely interrupts the anxiety cycle. You'll learn why traditional coping strategies often fail, how anxiety creates a self-reinforcing loop, and why your brain mistakes modern stress for life-threatening danger. Based on cognitive-behavioral principles and neuroscience research, I'll show you exactly how Tapping works as a pattern interrupt that can calm that feeling of panic within minutes. Studies show Tapping reduces anxiety by an average of 40% per session. Whether you struggle with generalized anxiety, panic attacks, or stress-induced worry, understanding the psychology behind your symptoms—and having a tool that actually works—changes everything.

In this episode of The Tapping Solution Podcast, we're answering the question of "Who invented EFT Tapping?" It’s a question we're asked all the time, and we love sharing the incredible story behind it! It all started with an accidental discovery when a therapist had tried everything in the book to help a woman with a severe water phobia… without success. Until, in a moment of inspiration, he tried something different… In this episode of, you'll get the chance to listen to the full story (complete with real audio clips from the people involved) and find out what happened next. It’s a super fun, 5-minute audio journey where you’ll learn all about the evolution of how Tapping came to be. Sit back, enjoy, and get ready to be surprised and inspired!

For over three decades, Dr. Eric(Rick) Leskowitz has been at the forefront of integrative medicine, exploring the fascinating intersection between conventional Western medicine and energy-based healing approaches. I was fortunate enough to sit down with Dr. Leskowitz for a one-on-one conversation about the evolution of energy medicine, including how techniques like EFT Tapping are transforming our understanding of what’s possible. Our discussion covers everything from the historical resistance to energy-based therapies to his vision for a future where conventional and integrative approaches work hand in hand. This is truly an interview you don’t want to miss!

In this interview Iyanla shares how to purge toxic thoughts and emotions from your life so that you can create a life full of financial abundance, emotional happiness, fulfilling relationships and more... Years before Iyanla became the star of her hit show "Iyanla: Fix My Life" she was stuck in patterns of toxic thoughts and emotions herself. Coping with trauma from childhood abuse, punishing herself emotionally, struggling financially with a poverty consciousness, and so much more. But she learned how to overcome those toxic thoughts and emotions, and create a life full of abundance, joy, and love. Some of the things Iyanla will share with you in this interview include: - How she started using Tapping to change her life nearly 16 years ago, and why she still loves this technique for creating personal change. (And why she always uses this technique with people on her show, even though it's not always shown!) - Why it's important to increase your emotional library to be able to express and release stuck emotions. - The power of love - Why she believes that there is no wound deep enough that love cannot heal, and how you can make the oftentimes difficult shift to finally loving and accepting yourself. - How to overcome lack consciousness. Iyanla struggled with finances even when she was earning over a million dollars a year! She'll share why you need to shift your energy and beliefs around money in order to be able to create abundance, regardless of how much you're earning. - And much more!

Wayne was an internationally renowned author and speaker in the fields of self-development and spiritual growth. Over the four decades of his career, he wrote more than 40 books, including 21 New York Times bestsellers. In this interview, you’ll hear some of Wayne’s story and how at the age of 34 he drove to Biloxi, Mississippi to visit the grave of his father, an alcoholic and an abusive man who had abandoned him, his mother and two brothers when he was just an infant. Although his father had died 10 years earlier, Wayne had only just found out about his death. He drove to the grave that day with a level of anger so great, so deep from years of built up hurt, that he had two tasks in mind: To find out if it was even acknowledged on his death certificate that Wayne was his son, and to literally "pee" on the grave of the father that he held all this hatred, anger and resentment towards for 34 years. What came out of that visit, however, completely and forever changed his life. It is one of the most beautiful stories you'll ever hear. It shares a message of forgiveness, and it's power to transform, that is truly life-changing.

Never has there been a more important time, in my lifetime, than 2020 to cultivate hope. A pandemic, racial anxiety, quarantining… it can all be a little overwhelming, to say the least! So how do we go about pushing forward and envisioning a better future for ourselves in the midst of all this challenge? How do we go about seeing it better, so that we can make it better? It all starts… with hope. Today’s conversation is all about cultivating hope to drive our lives forward. We’ll dive deep into understanding how without hope, we feel powerless to create change in our lives. Without hope, we lack motivation to move forward, to be resilient, to push through adversity to reach our goals. When we lack hope, we stay stuck in fear, constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop, expecting the worst to happen. Hope allows us to tolerate failures and disappointments to keep moving forward in creating the life, and the world, that we want. When we learn to cultivate hope, which is a learned behavior, not simply an emotion, we stay motivated in taking action towards what we want in life. We’ll not only talk about hope, but also do Tapping to cultivate hope! !!! start_highlights The definition of hope is a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. It is about allowing yourself to dream. Hope is about having the ability to influence and direct your future in the direction you want. The opposite of feeling powerlessness. In order to be hopeful and move toward a future we want, we have to be flexible and be able to tolerate failure and disappointment, recognizing that this does not define us as who we are. Hope is a learned behavior and we need to recognize that this learned experience is one we can work through, addressing safety first to cultivate hope and create an empowering future. Real hope carries with it confidence and desire and faith and anticipation and aspiration…important emotions that allow us to drive ourselves forward. Tapping will help lower the intensity of past events and traumas that support a belief that we can’t be hopeful, and it also opens us up to create new experiences and cultivate new beliefs to overpower the negative beliefs and move you forward in a positive direction. start_timestamps Episode Start: 00:01:17 About the Tapping Solution App: 00:01:54 Definition of Hope: 00:05:08 Why we want to cultivate hope: 00:08:22 Hope is a learned behavior: 00:13:28 Hope is also about an emotion under the words: 00:16:00 Can you feel hopeful and visualize an empowering future?: 00:17:30 How our amygdala helps us feel safe and how tapping helps: 00:18:18 Tapping Session on Hope: 00:24:55 Intro Intensity Rating: 00:25:01 End of Tapping Intensity Rating: 00:33:56 Closing: 00:13:48 start_transcript Alex Ortner: Hey guys, Alex here with the Tapping Solution Podcast and the Tapping Solution App. I am so excited to be here with you today because for the very first time I’m not only recording this via audio, I’m actually recording the video as well, which I’m personally excited about. I’m an expressive person, I like to be able to show my emotions, I am an emotional person. And so, I’m excited to actually record it via video so we can share this on YouTube and Facebook and all the other social media platforms. So, if you’re watching me here via video, thank you, you can see my mic.

I might actually share a little special surprise about the app at the end of this podcast so stay tuned for that. I’m excited for that. So, today’s conversation is gonna be all about hope. It’s about, how do we cultivate hope to drive our lives forward. And, hope is a really important emotion, it’s a really important practice for us to have on an ongoing basis. I actually just finished recording a master class for our tapping insiders, that’s why I decided to record this particular podcast today, because I wanted to share some of the messages that I shared with our tapping insiders club. And so, you know, I want to start off just by defining what exactly hope is and we will do tapping today, don’t worry, we always do tapping on these podcasts as well. We’ll talk about how we use tapping to actually cultivate that hope in to drive our emotions to change any underlying challenges that we have. And, I’ll talk about specifically what those things are that keep us from allowing ourselves to feel hopeful. And, I know that right now we’re in the middle of a, literally a global pandemic with Covid 19. And, I know that there’s a lot of stress around race

How can you create an inner peace, growing each day towards a lasting, wholesome and positive state of being? In this episode, Jessica is speaking with Rick Hanson, Ph.D., a psychologist and best-selling author who has created an easy to follow road map, to help us cultivate our real human potential and truly grow from our everyday experiences. We routinely work hard to have useful experiences, which will have no lasting impact on the brain and our growth, unless we can receive the powerful experience into ourselves and really take it in. This requires humility and a vulnerable understanding that can become hardwired into our nervous system, and as Rick says, “turning states into traits”. Tune in as Rick teaches us strategies on how to work with our thoughts and feelings, truly growing from them rather than just being with them. Rick is offering 3 free meditation downloads as well as the first chapter of Neurodarma for free The post TS 091 – Finding your Highest Happiness with Rick Hanson appeared first on .

Managing family, health, work and now adding a global pandemic to the mix can really have an effect on our emotions. Some call it a “roller coaster” of emotions, in which some days we may feel great and others we feel too overwhelmed to do anything at all. Today we’re going to talk about why it’s so important to feel and process these emotions particularly during this time, and how we can create balance when we’re all dealing with so much uncertainty. We’ll talk about strategies on how to effectively process your emotions, step up as a leader without burning out, and reduce the trauma response. We’ll even do some tapping. If you want to go straight to the tapping, skip ahead to 17:49. Join me today and let’s focus on you and your self-care habits!

Have you ever had a desire to “fix” yourself and then this backfires on you? Although the intentions are good, sometimes wanting to change or “fix” how we are, might be thwarting our natural being and who we truly are at our core. Today, we’re speaking with Ph.D., psychologist, author, teacher and my friend Tara Brach to help loosen the grip of difficult emotions and limiting beliefs that separate us from our naturalness. Tara explains, as we develop, the layers of protection that we are constantly adding solidify, creating whom we think we’re supposed to be. Eventually, we are identified by who we’ve created with our protective layers, forgetting who is looking through behind the mask. But we can come back to our true goodness and with real conscious intention…we can wake up from the “trance of unworthiness”. You will truly be amazed with Tara’s simple, but life-changing meditation practice using the acronym RAIN, to bring presence and compassion to any moment of change or struggle and transform our pain and anger into love. About Tara: Tara Brach’s teachings blend Western psychology and Eastern spiritual practices, mindful attention to our inner life, and a full, compassionate engagement with our world. The result is a distinctive voice in Western Buddhism, one that offers a wise and caring approach to freeing ourselves and society from suffering. In addition to numerous articles, videos, and hundreds of recorded talks, Tara is the author of the book Radical Acceptance (2003) and True Refuge: Finding Peace & Freedom in Your Own Awakened Heart (Bantam, 2013). She has a son, Narayan, and lives in Great Falls, VA, with her husband, Jonathan Foust; their 2 dogs; and her mother, Nancy Brach.

As the Coronavirus spreads, so does uncertainty and anxiety. It’s important to stay informed as to all the ways we can take preventative measures.

The intention of this tapping meditation is to help you release that anxiety so that you can support your immune system, feel more at peace, and feel empowered to take any steps necessary to protect yourself.

Did you know there are 3 things that are absolutely critical for your health? And that most people only focus on the first 2. As a culture we are generally obsessive about these first 2, but we do not pay nearly enough attention to the 3rd thing. You’re probably wondering… what are those 3 things?! I’ll tell you all about them… on episode #86 of The Tapping Solution Podcast! During this podcast you’ll get to listen in on a live talk I did to over 5,000 women at the Rise Conference in Dallas, TX this year.

1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused before they reach age 18. This statistic is staggering and deeply troubling especially when you consider that EVERY 92 SECONDS, AN AMERICAN IS SEXUALLY ASSAULTED. And every 9 minutes, that victim is a child. Meanwhile, only 5 out of every 1,000 perpetrators will end up in prison. While only 1/2 of 1% end up in prison, the victims are often left to feel imprisoned by their experience, with life-long feelings of guilt, shame, anger, and other negative emotions that severely limit their ability to feel safe and free to live the life they want. Which is why I have a special guest on today’s podcast with me. She is not only an EFT Tapping expert and trauma specialist, she is also my very loving and amazing wife, Karen Ortner. During this session, you’ll learn specific things you can do right now to use Tapping to heal from Sexual Trauma.
