No, although it may seem like it in the short term. These emotions are stuck in our bodies and the tapping is a way to release them, often permanently. Sometimes, when you clear one layer of emotion, however, another deeper layer that may seem more intense comes to the surface. You may have uncovered a new, deeper aspect of the original problem and that, ultimately, is a very positive thing, although it may feel a little uncomfortable initially. The trick is to KEEP TAPPING! The feelings you experience will often quickly subside and you will have done a very important piece of healing.
