For #MentalHealthAwareness Month, we’re leveling up with a 12-minute video showcasing tapping therapy - or Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), a mind-body therapy based on acupuncture, which works by tapping acupressure points on the body with your fingertips. Research suggests EFT can relieve stress, PTSD, and worry. Many thanks to Holly O’Dea who has donated her time for these videos. Holly is an Online Support Community facilitator at Partnership to End Addiction, and a Mayo Clinic Certified Wellness Coach. Learn more about Holly at odeawellness.com.
