Product Description
A Revolutionary Way to Heal Phobias, Depression, Anxiety, Anger--in Minutes

From the Publisher
Discover the groundbreaking method that instantly allows you to alleviate emotional distress by gently tapping on the particular body parts that correspond to acupuncture meridians. The first book of its kind to give precise instructions on exactly where the tapping spots are located (e.g., on the collarbone, under the eye, on the pinky) without resorting to mystical explanations, unscientific paradigms, and complicated rationalizations, The Tapping Cure shows how you can completely erase a full range of negative emotions in one self-administered session.

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
* Alleviate stress in social or business situations
* Relieve performance anxiety during sporting events or major meetings

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 The Tapping Cure, May 9, 2006

By	C. Shaver (Barto, PA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I used tapping as I was going through EMDR treatment for post-traumatic stress syndrome. The EMDR treatment was very effective but produced large amounts of pain energy that I had to manage in between sessions. Tapping was the only way I could manage this pain. After a tapping sequence, I would go from experiencing overwhelming pain to a feeling of serene peace and calm. As I tapped, the spots were frequently tender, like there was an energy block present. The tapping produced an endorphin- release kind of feeling that was very similar to a post-sex bodily state--completely relaxed. Think about it. These techniques are free. They don't use drugs. They draw on the body's own resources--are non-invasive and non-pharmaceutical. Use tapping as your first line of defense in healing. Tell your doctor about the experience. Hey, go crazy and start a revolution to wean America from the expensive pharmaceuticals that are going to bankrupt our medical system. I couldn't recommend this book more highly.

By	billem "billem" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews

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.

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

By	C. Woods "Discriminating reader" (Wilmington, DE) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
