Episode 45: Acupressure Tapping in Clinical Practice - A conversation with Jessica Ortner

Anxiety can get in the way of patients achieving their health
goals—especially when a practitioner recommends significant
lifestyle and nutrition changes. Patients may feel suffocated by
the new regimen and then make changes for a while but revert
back—or they may not make them at all. The Emotional Freedom
Technique, also known as tapping, can help patients ease anxiety
and better achieve their health goals. It can also help with the
subjective experience of pain or be used in service of a specific
health goal, like overcoming weight loss resistance. In this
podcast, Dr. Fitzgerald talks to Jessica Ortner, author of The
Tapping Solution for Weight Loss & Body Confidence, about how
tapping could help patients in a functional-medicine clinic
setting. And, together, they walk step-by-step through a round of
tapping so listeners can hear how it’s done (and follow along).
