Ph.D. Roberta Temes Ph.D. (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 23, 2006

The Tapping Cure is an astoundingly easy and somewhat mystifying process that offers great results in the treatment of a variety of psychological problems. It takes only a few minutes, requires no medication and no talk therapy, and can completely erase a full range of negative emotions—from phobia, to trauma, to performance anxiety—in just a single session. In The Tapping Cure Dr. Temes, a seasoned psychotherapist, teaches readers how to tap themselves to eradicate their own symptoms. It is the first book of its kind to give precise instructions on where the tapping should occur—e.g., on the collarbone, under the eye, on the pinky—without resorting to mystical explanations, unscientific paradigms, and complicated pseudo-psychoanalytic rationalizations. The Tapping Cure is sure to help a great many people—psychological sufferers, the worried-well, and therapists with increasing numbers of patients requesting the treatment, which is fast becoming known in mainstream circles just like other once fringe therapies before it.

Seasoned psychotherapist Roberta Temes teaches you how and where to tap in order to eradicate your symptoms. Requiring no medication and no talk therapy, tapping is easy to learn and implement. In just a few minutes, you can:

* Calm anger
* Relieve guilt
* Ease anxiety and depression
* Overcome Addictions
* Heal Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
* Overcome everyday phobias, such as fear of flying, dogs, and public speaking

Including a special chapter on tapping for children and infants, The Tapping Cure shows you how to stop a baby from crying and a toddler from throwing a tantrum; tapping can also help older children to control their anger and learn resiliency.

There are no tricks, no mumbo-jumbo: tapping is fast, it's easy--and the results are irrefutable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tapping just plain WORKS, May 9, 2006

By

This review is from: The Tapping Cure: A Revolutionary System for Rapid Relief from Phobias, Anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and More (Paperback)

I used this book to learn to build my self-esteem (yes, it does that too) and to try to get rid of a terrible memory that had become an obsession. I was doubtful at first but minutes after my tapping session (I read the book and then tapped for about 20 minutes), I felt completely better. The memory is still there but it doesn't bother me. I'm free! You don't even have to read the entire book to learn how to tap -- just read the first three chapters and then find the section that pertains to your problem.

I've told all my friends about this book and they've all seen the same results. It's unbelievable. The author admits that tapping isn't for people with chemical problems like clinical depression or schizophrenia. This book is more for everyone's everyday, normal problems. I was also cured of an out-of-control temper. This book should be in every home.

This review is from: The Tapping Cure: A Revolutionary System for Rapid Relief from Phobias, Anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and More (Paperback)

I love this book! It's a quick read cover to cover. Tapping has helped me relax sleep better and more...The principle of tapping is very straight forward and works.
My wife and I tap each other before going to sleep, we find we both sleep better plus it has an added bonus it improves our sex life in no uncertain terms., 10 minutes of tapping before in bed could change your life. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to enjoy life to the fullest. I would be interested if others had similar experiences.

How could something so simple be so effective? I was skeptical at first, but the Tapping Cure is easy, it's fun, and it works! The book gives clear step-by-step instructions -- like having a personal coach.

A great tool to have for stressful times.
