Chronic pain can really impact almost every aspect of our lives. So today, you’re going to learn how Tapping can support you, the connection between pain and stress and what you can do to experience relief.
The Research Behind Tapping for Pain
Twenty five years ago, there was no research about Tapping and pain. People were just trying it. And it was amazing to see the positive results over and over again, even without the research. Now, hundreds of studies have been done at this point.
Dr. Peter Stapleton is a pioneer leading the way with HT research. She shared results with Julie from a recent study and in this trial, they investigated the effects of using EFT intervention on brain activation with 24 adults who were suffering from chronic pain.
Using MRI technology, they found that the pain-modulating and catastrophising areas in the brain significantly reduced after using EFT in a six week period of time – a total of 12 hours.
