    paper All About Tapping - Article for THE WELL

    This article that I wrote for THE WELL introduces the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), a practice that combines acupressure and psychological principles to alleviate stress, anxiety, and pain. The piece delves into the science behind EFT, highlighting its clinical efficacy in reducing cortisol levels and improving overall well-being.
