Just be prepared for information overload so take your time with this book as I did. I have much appreciation for Donna and David for sharing their life's work to create this wonderful book.

Energy psychology is a fairly "new" development within the psychology field as it's still being unpacked by diving into changing signals sent to your brain to help manage extreme emotions. This in itself is amazing and you can already tell the type of situations, people, or moments this could be extremely useful. Tapping is the method of approach to make this happen.

What I loved off the bat was how Donna and David went through to test this book by each chapter seeking feedback from beta groups to make sure each portion made sense. You can tell the love and work that went into this. The book takes you through the following: how to do tapping, basic tapping protocol, ways you can apply tapping (sadness, anxiety, depression, etc), relationship management, and managing disasters. This will be something that I will be incorporating into my daily life as it's a growing tool that hope more people become aware of.


Big thanks to NetGalley, Sounds True Publishing, and of course Donna Eden/David Feinstein, PhD for their incredible work for this ARC.

Thank you NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review!

I had not heard of this topic prior to reading this book, but this is 100% a great place to start. This book is so thorough and is a great resource for anyone interested in Tapping.

Interesting read, packed with information. I have read other books that refer to this as EFT etc. and eveyone take is alittle different but the foundation is very common to Chinese’s Accupuncture.
So anyone interested in these topics could benefit from reading this book. And its opinion on the topic.

This is a very long and comprehensive book on tapping. It felt a little overwhelming for me but is likely to be very helpful for someone wanting to do a really deep dive into the topic.

I found this book to be very practical, very well organized and helpful. I feel like the use of diagrams really helps you tap into the hands on aspect of this practice. I'm very grateful for this book.

EFT is a self care technique that doesn’t hurt to try and experiment with. Alternative methods to take our heath into our hands is making its way back. I first heard of Ms Eden and tapping 20 years ag when I attended a EFT workshop. People need more choices to self care and organic techniques. Thank you for this ARC!

this is a good book for counselors and social workers who are new to emotional freedom tapping and how it works. It is a great introductory book that gives basic information on how it works and exercises you can do with your clients.

Donna Eden’s book, Tapping, Self-Healing with the Transformative Power of Energy Psychology,
is a wonderful offering which provides information about the energy healing modality of tapping. This energy-based technique can be effective in helping restore and support a healthful state in the mind and body.

The book is informative, practical and well worth reading and re-reading. I would definitely recommend it to others as a valuable resource which may truly impact your life.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sounds True Publishing for a review copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

As a longtime tapper (EFT), I viscerally know and understand the importance of the healing that it offers. In this comprehensive book, the well-loved authors take us even deeper into the process and the many ways it can help us. I especially appreciated the section on using EFT Tapping for habits and addictions, and look forward to immersing myself in their teaching once the book is published.

Thanks to Netgalley, the author and publisher, for an advance reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I've been interested in learning more about tapping, so when I saw this book on NetGalley, it seemed meant to be. The book itself did not disappoint. At 415 pages, if they're hoping to become the new "go-to" book about tapping, they are well on the way to their goal. I particularly appreciate that there are 6 whole chapters dedicated to how to apply tapping to specific issues: worry/anxiety/PTSD; sadness/depression; habits/addictions; peak performance; relationships; and "when disaster strikes". This is just the resource I was hoping to find, and it's given me a tremendous amount of guidance and specific tips on how to incorporate tapping into my life.

Oh, and if you doubt the credibility of tapping - the authors helpfully provide numerous scientific reference for studies that have demonstrated the benefits. Is it the placebo effect? I don't personally think so, but even if it is, it's still making a demonstrable difference. And I'm always looking for the scientific proofs to back up claims.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an eARC for my unbiased review.

I had heard of Tapping in passing and looked to this book to read more about it. This is a very detailed book in terms of procedures to follow for many typical stress triggers. The technique itself is based on energy psychology combining aspects of introspection, affirmation, and acupressure. It comes across as a simpler / reduced technique which has some parallels in mindfulness practice (especially dealing with affirmations), yoga and acupressure. Research apparently indicates benefits in many conditions leading to a more positive outlook and better balance. The authors have mentioned practicing this with their patients since many years, with good results. I had expected to find more material on the conceptual framework, how it works, parallels & differences with other techniques. There is a lot of similar content repeated across conditions, and the book could have been a lot crisper. More illustrations would have been good as well.

This book provides a framework to close the gap between ancient wisdom and hopes for the future.
It’s a call to action giving possibilities, new ways of understanding our psyche.
A new transformative force within the field of energy psychology by stimulating energy points on the skins:
- unlock hidden potential
- shifts occur
- energy blockades are released
- mental balance is restored
We become an active part of our brain’s change, turning negative emotions as stress/fear/trauma into positive
response with problem solving/stress management. We create tools allowing us to greater resilience in life.

I was very happy to be able to read this ARC, as I have been using the 'tapping' technique for about a year now due to a history of depression and anxiety; coupled with a TBI (traumatic brain injury) I needed all the help I could get.

"Tapping energy points on the skin while bringing problems and goals to mind changes the brain in ways that help to overcome those challenges and support those aspirations. This stimulating practice places an astonishingly effective tool into your hands, quite literally."

It is a simple approach but very effective treatment and this book definitely goes in-depth into this practice. Try it out and you'll start seeing the benefits.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

Oh, how I wish this book was available in kindle edition now! It would have made it so much easier to read it!
This is not a quick-fix band-aid type of self-help book. Far from it.
It is lengthy, it goes deep, and it has an explanation behind everything, there are answers to all the whys you may have when you first come across something you have never heard or met before.
I think this is the most perfect book for those who think that contemporary psychology and psychotherapy are somewhat lacking depth and holistic approach. It is all in there, in this book. All the depth you may have ever lacked.

This is a must-have resource to help one improve mental health, resiliency, and live a more full and happy life. It is full of great strategies, advice, and easy to implement ideas. This is one I'll return to again and again. Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.
