Have you ever found yourself overwhelmed by negative emotions while practicing EFT tapping? If so, you’re not alone. Recently, I stumbled upon a question on the online forum Reddit that possibly resonates with many newcomers to Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT).
The person who wrote the question shared their experience of journaling all their worries, negative feelings, and beliefs. Then, they would recite them while tapping and affirming self-love and acceptance. However, instead of feeling better, they felt worse after tapping sessions, experiencing a tightness in their throat. They wondered if this discomfort was a sign of progress or if they were using the method incorrectly.
In response, I offered some insights that might help others facing similar challenges.
