Group Workshops in Acupressure Tapping for Emotions What is Acupressure Tapping? Acupressure tapping is a way to alleviate both physical and psychological symptoms by addressing their emotional content. It is rapidly gaining recognition among health care professionals worldwide, and is one of several techniques used in the field of Energy Psychology. You apply the technique to yourself, tapping with your fingers on specific points. Words, spoken aloud or silently, are also used, to help focus your attention. Introductory Group This group is for those who are are new to acupressure tapping, and wish to learn how to manage symptoms such as anxiety, anger and irritability, stress, physical pain, addictive cravings, or sleep problems. Over four weeks, group members will learn the technique through guided hands-on practice, and will be able to work on issues or symptoms of their choice. Because the technique works even if group members do not share details of the issues that they are working on, full confidentiality can be maintained. There will be ample opportunities to ask questions, and exercises will be given for home practice between sessions. Intermediate to Advanced Group This four-week group is for those who have a basic understanding of acupressure tapping and some experience with using it, or have completed the Introductory Group. Group members will refine their skills and work in greater depth on their issues. The art of uncovering underlying and related aspects of a problem will be demonstrated and practiced. Additional methods will be taught for resolving blocks to progress, and for increasing your ability to achieve your desired goals. A group will start once a minimum of four members have enrolled. The maximum group size is eight people. The group setting is not appropriate for dealing with severe symptoms of trauma, such as flashbacks and nightmares, or with severe depression and grief, explosive anger or other extremely intense emotions. Those who wish to learn acupressure tapping for such issues can be seen individually. Return to Services main page.
