Trauma-Focused Tapping

Tapping is often integrated into many of the most effective trauma therapies today, including EMDR. Simple, evidence-based tools like tapping make trauma therapy more accessible and put the power of recovery directly into our clients’ hands.

  • Several tapping techniques, including from EMDR and Emotional Freedom Technique, that can be integrated into virtually any treatment approach 
  • How, why, and when to use them with clients of any age in psychotherapy 
  • Specific uses of tapping techniques in trauma therapy for resourcing
