Like this systematic way of tapping is called emotional freedom technique.

Have you heard of this?

EFT.

Have you heard of this before?

I have.

What have you heard about it?

Okay.

Well, let me tell you a little bit about its origins.

According to, and the main source I found of the origins of the emotional freedom technique is unsurprisingly from the emotional freedom technique website.

So like proceed with a nice hefty grain of low sodium salt.

Okay.

Basically, it was pioneered by this guy called Gary Craig, who actually died earlier this year, according to the website.

But basically, he's building on something from the 80s called thought field therapy, which there was an earlier guy, a psychologist, Dr. Roger Callaghan, and he develops this thought field therapy.

And the idea was that if you tapped on meridian points...

while you were in psychological distress.

So acupuncture points, basically.

Yes, exactly.

So there's very specific points on your body, but it was quite a complicated thing.

So there were different sequences for different problems.

There were algorithms for anxiety, for phobias, for trauma.
