About the Book

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT, or “tapping”) is a rapidly growing practice that involves tapping two fingers along specific acupuncture points in order to improve memory and sleep and to relieve stress, anxiety, and pain. While memory loss is a natural part of the aging process, many experience memory issues for reasons other than aging. Stress, anxiety and depression can cause forgetfulness, confusion, difficulty concentrating and other issues that disrupt daily activities, and research suggests that we can ease memory impairments caused by stress with effective coping mechanisms like tapping.
Offering real client stories and outcomes from research, this is a comprehensive guide to EFT tapping. Focused on improving memory, it offers practical applications for tapping that can alleviate everyday forgetfulness (like difficulty recalling peoples’ names), supercharge learning processes in people of all ages, and treat dementia.

Memory Improvement Through Tapping is filled with clear and concise research, as well as examples for how to use tapping/EFT in the moment, to help reduce stress and ultimately help you retain information in your brain and remember where you left your keys (and why you walked into a room amongst other things)! She uses practical and easy to apply suggestions to help you feel like you are empowered by your mind, not as though you are losing it. The results are consistently and astoundingly effective, as I have used it myself many times (personally and with clients). I have been tapping for well over 25 years and I am forever a student to keep learning how we can use tapping to improve our lives. I highly recommend this book and suggest you keep it handy…you will refer to it over and over again!”—Julie Schiffman, MSW, tapping expert
