Let's Talk About It with Lori Streator EFT Tapping Explained: How to Calm Your Nervous System Quickly with Jackie McDonald
Ever heard of EFT tapping and wondered if it actually works... or if it's just "woo woo"? I sat down with tapping expert Jackie McDonald to break down this evidence-based technique that combines acupuncture points with emotional processing.
Jackie shares her powerful origin story: how tapping found her at her worst as a 19-year-old new mom dealing with multiple traumatic losses to how she's completely transformed her life and built a business with EFT! She also shares a personal story about using tapping to help her critically ill father sit up and walk after being bedridden in the hospital.
This isn't just "woo" - there's real science behind why tapping works, and Jackie explains it all in an accessible, practical way.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
- What EFT tapping actually is and how it works
- How it lowers cortisol, calms the amygdala, and regulates your nervous system in minutes
- Exactly where to tap and what to say (including a live tapping session during the episode)
- How to use tapping while driving, in meetings, or anywhere you need quick anxiety relief
- Mistakes people make when starting to use tapping
Bonus: Jackie walked me through a real-time tapping session, proving how accessible and effective this technique can be for anyone willing to try it. (This begins around 17 minutes and lasts for about 10 minutes). I highly recommend you revisit the episode (you can also watch the video version on my youtube) and follow along to experience it yourself!
Whether you're skeptical, curious, or ready to add another technique to your mental health toolkit, Jackie will change how you think about managing stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm.
