This is not an insight-oriented treatment, nor is understanding for the sake of understanding thought to be the mechanism of change. What is fascinating is that when the energetic aspects of the problem are treated the cognitive, emotional, and physical elements of the problem resolve immediately. Clients will typically acknowledge spontaneous and dramatic cognitive shifts instantly after tapping. Again, this is all very strange to conventional therapists, but isn't so unusual to people more familiar with energetic healing. And it is entirely consistent with the tenets of Chinese medicine.
Acupressure is a wonderful self-care tool that one can learn in minutes.
While doctors and chiropractors use acupuncture, that method requires years of education and experience to use properly. However, acupressure is easily taught and uses a similar system to that used in acupuncture. The client, to assist in his healing, is directed to tap specific points on the body. The technique is gentle, quick, and painless. It often brings about rapid and lasting relief.
