Notes from a webinar that may help you to look at how feelings work in a different way and give you a simple tapping routine to help you more easily let go of the feelings, thoughts and behaviours that no longer serve you.
It's a webinar for people who use EFT/Tapping for their self-development or work with other people in a helping capacity. So you will need to know how to tap to get the best out of the experience.
