About this listen

This book presents the research and evidence behind Emotional Freedom Technique in an easy-to-read manner and also offers client stories of their experiences. Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT or tapping) is a growing field in the self-help area, but only in the last decade has it become the focus of clinical and scientific trials to test its effectiveness. This book offers the missing piece of this self-applied stress management tool: how and why it works. The Science Behind Tapping takes the mounting science and the research behind EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and unpacks it in a compelling but simple, straightforward way for the average reader. Dr. Peta Stapleton, Ph.D., Australia's main EFT researcher, shares remarkable case studies and evidence for how tapping can treat a host of issues, including PTSD, stress and anxiety, depression, food cravings and weight issues, issues with children and adolescents, and more! No other book exists that explains why and how tapping works, and Dr. Peta Stapleton is uniquely poised to present the published research and teaching expertise to form this book.This audio product contains a PDF with supporting material, and the PDF is available to download.

Critic reviews

“Dr. Peta Stapleton’s The Science behind Tapping is a wonderfully thorough review and grounding in Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and other tapping therapies, covering current research, theory, and applications. This book is an important and greatly needed addition to the literature, as well as a handy resource and reference for practitioners, researchers, and consumers.”
— Fred P. Gallo, Ph.D., DCEP, former ACEP president and author of Energy Psychology, Energy Tapping for Trauma, and Energy Diagnostic and Treatment Methods

“The thousands of people worldwide who have already experienced the incredible trauma release and healing effects of the EFT/tapping therapies know how effective these techniques are. The main barrier to EFT being accepted by mainstream medicine has been the lack of researched-based evidence. In this brilliant book, Dr. Stapleton uses her extensive experience, passion, and drive to bring together this much-needed research information, alongside real-life client experiences.”
— Karl Dawson, EFTMRA director of training, founding EFT master, author of Transform Your Beliefs, Transform Your Life

“The Science behind Tapping is a much-needed and timely book! It is a treasure trove of all the science and research behind several tapping techniques, written in an easy-to-understand manner. Peta has delivered a vital resource, complete with client stories of the lived experience, that everyone should read.”
— Jessica Ortner, New York Times best-selling author of The Tapping Solution for Weight Loss and Body Confidence

“Living in such turbulent times, a book of this caliber is desperately needed as we navigate our way through an abundance of self-care techniques.”
— Kate Helder, director of Mind Heart Connect

It is good when the author reads the audiobook as the passion is able to shrine through. Here the book itself is also recommended as it is dense and packed full with precise figures and details. Wow! A gem of a book for EFT skeptics, lovers and practitioners alike.

Rigorous and fantastic!
