SPIRITUAL CRAP

Look, we need to talk about tapping (EFT). Yes, it looks weird. Yes, you might feel silly doing it. But stick with me here – especially if your brain tends to go “SQUIRREL!” mid-session like mine does.

Here’s the thing: While you can totally tap on your own (and I’ll teach you how), I’ve found that having a digital guide can be a game-changer. Why? Because sometimes your brain is too busy freaking out to remember what to do next. It’s like trying to follow a recipe while your kitchen’s on fire.

My Go-To Tapping Guides (That Won’t Make You Cringe)

The Tapping Solution App Think of it as your pocket therapist, minus the awkward small talk. Here’s why it works for my scattered brain:

• It’s like GPS for your emotions: “Feeling lost? Turn left at anxiety, right at overwhelm…”
• Perfect for those “I can’t even” moments when your brain’s too fried to DIY
• Covers everything from “Help, I can’t sleep” to “Why did I say that thing 10 years ago?”

Brad Yates’ Program Imagine if your chill friend who makes great dad jokes was also a tapping expert. That’s Brad. Here’s why I love his stuff:

• He gets it. Like, really gets it. No toxic positivity here
• Makes tapping feel less “woo-woo” and more “oh, this actually makes sense”
• Perfect for when you’re feeling weird about feeling weird (meta, right?)

Why Having a Guide Rocks (Especially for Chaos Brains)

Listen, I love DIY as much as the next person with 47 unfinished projects. But sometimes having a guide just works better. It’s like having a spotter at the gym – sure, you could lift alone, but why risk dropping the emotional equivalent of a barbell on your toe?

With guided tapping:

• You don’t have to remember what comes next (because your brain’s already full of song lyrics and random facts)
• Someone else puts words to your feelings (when your emotion vocabulary is stuck on “ugh”)
• You stay focused(ish) instead of wandering off to reorganize your sock drawer mid-session

The Bottom Line

Could you figure out tapping on your own? Sure. Just like you could probably figure out how to make sourdough bread by watching squirrels (don’t ask me how, but I bet there’s a way). But why make it harder than it needs to be?

These tools are like training wheels for your emotional bicycle. Use them until you feel confident enough to ride solo – or keep using them forever. No judgment here. Whatever works for your beautifully chaotic brain is the right way to do it.

P.S. Yes, you’ll still feel silly tapping in public. But that’s what bathroom breaks are for. I won’t tell if you don’t.
