#23: EFT Tapping Explained: Releasing Emotional Triggers and Reclaiming Your Power with Leo McCarthy

In this episode I'm joined by EFT practitioner Leo McCarthy to explore Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), commonly known as tapping. EFT is a body-based practice that combines elements of psychology with acupressure points along the body's energy meridians. By tapping on specific points while acknowledging emotions and limiting beliefs, EFT helps release stored stress, emotional patterns, and subconscious triggers. Together, we discuss: * What EFT tapping is and how it works * The connection between emotional triggers and the subconscious mind * How tapping helps release anxiety, anger, and limiting beliefs * Why emotional awareness is only the first step toward healing * How tapping can help you reclaim your sense of empowerment About Leo * https://leojmccarthy.com/ * https://www.youtube.com/@leomccarthy7372 * https://open.spotify.com/show/3Xxf3hJ7c1jZmxVT9MGqye?si=9b0f9d00ba3d4992 About Anabel * Visit ⁠⁠www.nunatherapy.com⁠⁠ * https://www.instagram.com/nunatherapy/ * https://www.facebook.com/nunatx/ NOTE: The information shared in this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered medical or professional advice.
