Student Case Study Shoutouts: Deanna, Christa, Natha
Questions: – What are the key differences between tapping with adults and tapping with children?
– How do you work with defiant or resistant teens?
 – How can EFT be used to help adolescents deal with weight issues and physical wellness?
– How can Energy Psychology help an adolescent deal with bullying?
– How can you introduce EFT to teachers and students? How can you use it in a classroom or testing setting? Hear from one tutor who empowered her students to achieve their best state-test-scores in years using The Basic Recipe?
Notes: – Keep Setup Statements gentle and simple, taking into account the child’s age, their exact phrases, and language that will make them feel accepted and loved – Kids respond quickly to EP because neural pathways are not as hardwired
– ALLOW resistance and defiance by mirroring the child’s feelings back to them (while tapping) ie. “This is so stupid. I hate tapping! What a dumb thing to do! Why is my mom making me do this! There is nothing wrong with me!”
– Introduce EFT to children with simple analogies. Use relatable explanations that normalize their fight or flight symptoms ie. “When you feel bad, 80% of blood goes away from your brain; How well are you going to do on a test if you only have 20% of your blood!?”
– Introduce EFT to parents by Keeping it simple too! Share the research and success stories. Draw parallels to the tools they already use ie. “Acupressure combined with talk therapy is really effective and I’d love to introduce that to your child. It is a tool they can use on their own when they feel low.”
– Adolescents feel alone and isolated after trauma, so engage their peers in group tapping. On this call we hear about a teen who healed the trauma of rape by feeling the support and validation of her friends in a group tapping session.
