Tapping Towards Emotional Freedom
Tuesday, February 15, 2011 at 9:00PM

Ever since I was young I've had an infatuation with holistic healing. My father who was diagnosed with prostate cancer when I was 11 was given two years to live. He refused to go the traditional route of chemotherapy and instead developed a holistic program through diet, healing touch, herbs and meditation that allowed him to live another 18 years.
So when I was looking into treatment options with Cameron I took into consideration the benefits of the holistic healing route. One of the fascinating techniques I encountered was EFT {Emotional Freedom Technique}. Through a series of tapping along engegy {pressure} points an individual can lesson their depression, anxiety and encourage a calming state. EFT is also extremely helpful in changing behavior patterns.
Through research on EFT I ran into an impressive product. Tappy the bear. Tappy allows children to get the same benefits as tapping on energy points on themselves by tapping on the same points on the bear. It relaxes the child through the motions of tapping and allows them to become comfortable with the points so they may eventually be able to use it on themselves.
Tappy bear has been met with great affection in our household. Cameron often uses him to calm himself down before going to bed and after large temper tantrums. We've slowly been working on integrating him into his coping skills as soon as he becomes agitated. I think with more practice and time he'll be able regulate his emotions more easily using tappy.
I've been very happy with the progress Cameron has made using Tappy and I am thrilled that we found such a valuable tool.
