She used to be super anxious but now she...

SEBASTIAAN VAN DER SCHRIER
About this episode

"I used to be so overwhelmed and nervous in social situations. Now I am relaxed and enjoy my time in social situations with people."

Salwa's words, the woman you hear from in this interview. She's a former caching client whom I interviewed.

We used EFT to overcome her social anxiety.

EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques and it is an innovative technique that combines modern psychology with ancient Chinese medicine to rapidly release negative emotions.

It can be seen as a psychological form of acupuncture. But instead of using needles, you tap on certain acupressure points on the face and body while you focus on traumatic memories or painful emotions.

However strange it may sound if you hear this for the first time, the process of tapping somehow processes the emotions, and you experience relief.

The tapping is an incredibly effective, yet gentle technique to rapidly neutralise excessive negative emotions like fear, anxiety, hurt, shame, anger, guilt, insecurity, and to clear limiting beliefs like "I'm not good enough", "people don't like me", "there's something wrong with me" and so on.

I've used it to beat my own social anxiety, and the woman whom you hear from is someone who experienced the power of this simple technique as well. 

Now if you want to learn this tapping technique for free you can go to my website and get my free social anxiety starter kit.

In that kit I share how the mainstream approach of changing my thoughts and forcefully facing my fears didn't work for me, and how I used EFT to become anxiety-free.

You'll also get a video series where I teach it to you, and I guide you on screen to having an experience of it. I recently had a comment from someone who said he resolved 40% of his social anxiety with this starter kit alone.

You can get that starter kit here.
