That tightness in your chest before a hard conversation. The way your stomach drops before you walk into a room full of people. Logic doesn't reach it. Telling yourself you're fine doesn't touch it. What if you could send a direct signal to your nervous system that you're safe, and actually change the chemistry? Jessica Ortner is a New York Times bestselling author and co-founder of The Tapping Solution, a movement that has brought EFT Tapping to millions worldwide, fueling hundreds of published studies, a massively downloaded app with tens of millions of sessions completed, and work that now extends to veterans, schools, and communities in crisis. In this conversation, you'll explore: What tapping is, where it came from, and how it works. Why positive thinking and reframing often fail, and what the nervous system actually needs to release stress The cortisol study that shows a serious reduction in stress hormones from a single session, and what that means for your daily life How tapping physically rewires the brain's response to food cravings, trauma, and intrusive thoughts, with fMRI data to back it Why your body can hold chronic pain in ways that have nothing to do with the original injury, and tapping might help How to use tapping covertly before a difficult conversation, a big presentation, or a social situation when anxiety tends to take over You don't have to believe this works for it to work. You just have to try it.
