EFT Tapping Scripts

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or Tapping, is a popular form of alternative therapy that involves tapping on certain meridian points (similar to acupuncture but without needles) on the body while focusing on a specific emotion or issue. The technique is based on the belief that negative emotions and physical pain can be relieved by tapping on certain points on the body and reciting specific affirmations.

I have personally been using EFT for 6 years now and credit it to helping me reduce my anxiety, triggers and feelings of overwhelm. EFT made such a positive impact on me that I decided to get my certification as an EFT Practioner so I can teach it to others and use it in my coaching practice.

EFT is often used as a treatment for a variety of conditions, including anxiety, depression, phobias, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is believed that the tapping helps to balance the body’s energy systems and release negative emotions, allowing the individual to feel more relaxed and at ease.

To use EFT, an individual will typically start by identifying a specific emotion or issue that they would like to address. They may then tap on certain points on the body, such as the top of the head, the collarbone, and the side of the hand, while repeating a specific affirmation. The affirmation should be positive and specific to the emotion or issue being addressed.

Here are some sample EFT Tapping Scripts:

• Basic Script:

“Even though I have this [issue], I deeply and completely accept myself.”

“Even though I feel [emotion] about this [issue], I deeply and completely accept myself.”

“Even though I have this [issue], I choose to let it go and move forward in a positive direction.”

“Even though I feel [feeling], I deeply and completely love, accept, honor, trust and respect myself.

(Repeat these phrases as you tap on the tapping points until you feel the fear or tension decrease)

• Script Sample – Fear of Failure:

“Even though I have this fear of failure, I deeply and completely accept myself and my fear.”

“Even though I feel anxious and nervous that I am going to mess things up and make a fool of myself and disappoint people, I deeply and completely accept myself and my feelings.”

“Even though I have this fear of failing and letting myself and others down, I choose to let it go and move forward with confidence and self-assurance.”

“I deeply and completely love, accept, honor, trust and respect myself.”

(Repeat these phrases as you tap on the tapping points until you feel the fear or tension decrease)

• Script Sample – Health & Healing:

“Even though I have this [health issue], I deeply and completely accept myself and my body.”

“Even though I feel [emotion] about this [health issue], I deeply and completely accept myself and my feelings.”

“Even though I have this [health issue], I choose to let it go and focus on healing and feeling better.”

“I deeply and completely love, accept, honor, trust and respect myself.”

(Repeat these phrases as you tap on the tapping points until you feel the fear or tension decrease)

Remember, the key to using EFT effectively is to be specific and to focus on your specific issues and emotions. It’s also important to repeat the phrases with conviction and to tap on the designated points on your body as you say them. You may have to tap on the same issues over a period of time to see positive changes, but they will come!
