00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:04.660
Hey there. I am Doctor. Jill Wener. I am a board certified physician,

2
00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:06.339
conscious health meditation

3
00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:07.140
teacher,

4
00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:09.540
an EFT tapping practitioner,

5
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:15.625
podcast host, author, and anti racism educator and allyship coach.

6
00:00:15.625 --> 00:00:21.565
And I am so excited to be talking to you today about the wellness tap, which is an incredible

7
00:00:22.185 --> 00:00:22.925
stress reduction

8
00:00:23.625 --> 00:00:24.125
resource,

9
00:00:24.744 --> 00:00:26.205
that I am offering.

10
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:29.500
I Wener first thank you to for taking time

11
00:00:30.040 --> 00:00:33.900
out of your busy day to watch this video and for

12
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:37.660
starting to consider or getting further along considering

13
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:42.300
taking time for yourself in terms of your own wellness and quality of life.

14
00:00:43.395 --> 00:00:43.895
Tapping

15
00:00:44.515 --> 00:00:50.615
is, an evidence based stress reduction modality that can be used for so much more than just stress.

16
00:00:50.995 --> 00:00:55.095
It is based in acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine.

17
00:00:56.100 --> 00:01:00.200
And instead of using needles, we actually use acupressure or tapping

18
00:01:00.580 --> 00:01:01.320
on different

19
00:01:01.780 --> 00:01:04.920
energy centers or meridians on our face and chest.

20
00:01:05.060 --> 00:01:07.800
And these are scientifically validated energy centers.

21
00:01:08.355 --> 00:01:08.855
And,

22
00:01:09.395 --> 00:01:13.175
what we do is we have whatever it is that is distressing for us,

23
00:01:14.035 --> 00:01:15.415
we say out loud

24
00:01:16.115 --> 00:01:18.435
and tap on these points as we're saying it out loud.

25
00:01:18.435 --> 00:01:22.360
Now we're generally used to perhaps hearing, don't say negative things.

26
00:01:22.360 --> 00:01:25.880
You shouldn't feel negative things or or focus on the positive.

27
00:01:25.880 --> 00:01:29.420
Because if you think about negative things, you're just gonna be feeding that.

28
00:01:29.880 --> 00:01:33.340
Now while I don't advocate for being negative all the time,

29
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:42.845
if we do not process our negative emotions and allow ourselves to have the full range of human emotions, it can be really toxic for us physically and emotionally.

30
00:01:42.905 --> 00:01:47.145
So tapping is a really great way. It's also called the emotional freedom technique or EFT.

31
00:01:47.145 --> 00:01:52.130
It's a really, really great way to sit sit with our uncomfortable emotions and process them in a healthy way.

32
00:01:52.590 --> 00:02:02.290
And the way it works is that as we're tapping and saying the distressing things out loud, we're sending calming signals to the stress center of our brain that actually rewires the way our brain is processing

33
00:02:03.150 --> 00:02:03.650
stress

34
00:02:04.475 --> 00:02:06.655
and distressing stimuli, which is amazing.

35
00:02:07.515 --> 00:02:09.535
Tapping is great for so many reasons.

36
00:02:10.475 --> 00:02:14.315
First off, it can be done in a lot of different settings. It can be done one on one.

37
00:02:14.315 --> 00:02:18.095
It can be done in groups. It can be done interacting with a recorded video.

38
00:02:19.270 --> 00:02:20.569
It works very quickly.

39
00:02:20.950 --> 00:02:25.209
So it can work in as soon as, you know, five or ten minutes. It can give really good,

40
00:02:25.830 --> 00:02:27.530
symptom management of

41
00:02:27.910 --> 00:02:32.730
a distressing emotion. So sadness, anxiety, fear, guilt, any and or any other emotion

42
00:02:33.105 --> 00:02:34.325
in just a few minutes,

43
00:02:34.785 --> 00:02:40.645
that can feel a lot less intense, and the benefits can last a really long time. I also love that

44
00:02:41.665 --> 00:02:43.205
there are very few side effects

45
00:02:43.665 --> 00:02:44.405
other than,

46
00:02:44.945 --> 00:02:45.445
yawning,

47
00:02:45.825 --> 00:02:47.025
sighing, and,

48
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:56.500
sometimes some tears will come, and that's a sign that we're activating the parasympathetic nervous system and moving some of these negative emotions and and and, distressing

49
00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:57.620
symptoms

50
00:02:57.920 --> 00:02:58.900
through our body,

51
00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:00.420
and releasing them.

52
00:03:01.194 --> 00:03:08.495
Tapping is also great because you don't have to do it regularly, so you don't have I I do, also teach meditation, which is done twice a day

53
00:03:08.795 --> 00:03:11.114
through the practice that I teach and that I do.

54
00:03:11.515 --> 00:03:14.555
But tapping, you don't have to do on a regular basis to benefit from it.

55
00:03:14.555 --> 00:03:16.530
You can do it for the first time and get benefits.

56
00:03:16.530 --> 00:03:19.590
You can do it once a week, once a month, once a year, and still benefit.

57
00:03:20.050 --> 00:03:20.790
And, also,

58
00:03:22.209 --> 00:03:24.930
you can do it regularly, or you can just do it as needed.

59
00:03:24.930 --> 00:03:34.155
So if something really distressing happens or upsetting happens, you can tap and feel Wener, and then it's a tool that you can put away and take out when you need it.

60
00:03:34.614 --> 00:03:38.155
It's really good at fitting into the nooks and crannies of

61
00:03:39.495 --> 00:03:44.700
a time. So we all we all are very many people have very full lives.

62
00:03:44.700 --> 00:03:47.360
We might say we're busy or we might say that it's a full life.

63
00:03:47.740 --> 00:03:54.320
And it may feel like we don't have the time to do a practice like this, and so tapping can fit into the nooks and crannies of when we actually have time.

64
00:03:54.635 --> 00:03:55.295
And, also,

65
00:03:56.155 --> 00:04:01.055
for me, meditation is amazing, but what I've learned is that there's no one tool that's gonna

66
00:04:01.594 --> 00:04:02.575
fix everything.

67
00:04:03.114 --> 00:04:05.515
First off, we don't need fixing. We're wonderful as we are.

68
00:04:05.515 --> 00:04:09.420
Second off, there's just not any one thing that's gonna make everything feel better.

69
00:04:10.220 --> 00:04:17.279
And so I like multiple modalities, including meditation and tapping and things like self compassion and then other lifestyle

70
00:04:18.300 --> 00:04:19.200
things as well.

71
00:04:20.540 --> 00:04:24.664
The the tapping is a process a practice that can be done on demand.

72
00:04:24.664 --> 00:04:27.965
And particularly in the wellness tap, you're gonna have

73
00:04:28.425 --> 00:04:29.965
a a stacked library,

74
00:04:30.664 --> 00:04:34.125
that I'm continuing to add to every month of,

75
00:04:35.660 --> 00:04:36.639
of resources

76
00:04:36.940 --> 00:04:42.480
on demand at your fingertips that will help you through very specific emotionally distressing situations.

77
00:04:43.340 --> 00:04:44.560
The tapping points,

78
00:04:45.660 --> 00:04:47.680
are here on the side of the hand,

79
00:04:49.015 --> 00:04:51.275
the top of the head back towards the back of the head,

80
00:04:51.975 --> 00:04:54.315
the inner corner of the eyebrow right here,

81
00:04:55.655 --> 00:04:56.715
side of the eye,

82
00:04:57.655 --> 00:04:58.715
under the eye,

83
00:05:00.135 --> 00:05:01.115
under the nose,

84
00:05:02.295 --> 00:05:03.035
the chin,

85
00:05:04.860 --> 00:05:05.600
the chest,

86
00:05:06.300 --> 00:05:10.220
kind of at the Jill the you go to this little notch here and down an inch and over an inch.

87
00:05:10.220 --> 00:05:14.540
So right here, and you can tap like this or cross over, however you want to do it.

88
00:05:14.540 --> 00:05:18.765
And then the last one is under the arm where a bra strap is or would be.

89
00:05:18.845 --> 00:05:21.905
And I like to tap like this. You can also reach around and tap

90
00:05:22.745 --> 00:05:25.425
Wener you wanna do it, whatever is most comfortable for you.

91
00:05:26.445 --> 00:05:32.145
Tapping can be used, and and those are the tapping points, and we kind of go through those in a rhythmic cyclical way.

92
00:05:32.500 --> 00:05:37.699
You don't have to I take all the guesswork out of it for you so you don't have to figure out what to say or where to tap.

93
00:05:37.699 --> 00:05:42.600
It's a it's a call and response thing where I will do it, and you'll just kind of follow along with what I'm doing.

94
00:05:42.740 --> 00:05:46.335
And I'll give you suggestions on how to make any modifications that you might need.

95
00:05:47.375 --> 00:05:47.875
Tapping

96
00:05:48.414 --> 00:05:51.634
is used for so many things. It's so, so, so versatile.

97
00:05:52.175 --> 00:05:53.634
It's used for trauma,

98
00:05:54.255 --> 00:05:55.074
for PTSD,

99
00:05:55.535 --> 00:05:57.715
phobias, to process COVID trauma,

100
00:05:59.470 --> 00:06:04.850
difficult emotions that come up in any aspect of life, including anxiety and and some depression.

101
00:06:05.470 --> 00:06:10.350
It's really great for acute, new, and chronic pain, so pain you've had for a long time or new pain.

102
00:06:10.350 --> 00:06:12.610
No matter what the cause is, it can still help.

103
00:06:12.935 --> 00:06:14.155
It's great for processing,

104
00:06:14.775 --> 00:06:15.275
relationship

105
00:06:15.895 --> 00:06:17.195
difficulties or perhaps,

106
00:06:17.575 --> 00:06:20.295
you know, difficult interactions you've had or,

107
00:06:21.495 --> 00:06:23.035
it could also be used to process

108
00:06:23.335 --> 00:06:25.355
the end of a marriage or a breakup,

109
00:06:25.990 --> 00:06:28.250
the, you know, death of a loved one,

110
00:06:29.669 --> 00:06:31.370
a child going off to college,

111
00:06:32.150 --> 00:06:33.910
lots of different ways that we can,

112
00:06:35.030 --> 00:06:38.310
use tapping also to address self limiting beliefs and and,

113
00:06:38.630 --> 00:06:42.645
making difficult choices. So there's so, so, so many different ways to to use it.

114
00:06:43.585 --> 00:06:44.565
And it's really

115
00:06:45.585 --> 00:06:50.465
a respite from a lot of the overwhelming feelings that we might experience in the world today.

116
00:06:50.465 --> 00:06:54.560
It's a it's a pretty chaotic world out there, and it it can get to you.

117
00:06:54.560 --> 00:07:03.060
So it's a really great respite from that, and it can also help you feel better very quickly in a way that is processing the emotion and not running away from it.

118
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:04.979
I first learned about tapping,

119
00:07:07.155 --> 00:07:11.255
in 2017. I was teaching my meditation course at a conference for women physicians,

120
00:07:11.875 --> 00:07:19.815
and some of the other guests there were a psychologist and psychiatrist who use tapping for their PTSD patients at the, VA.

121
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.540
So for veterans who have trauma from, from combat.

122
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:24.980
And

123
00:07:25.520 --> 00:07:25.920
I,

124
00:07:26.400 --> 00:07:28.400
met a practitioner and I, and I loved it then.

125
00:07:28.400 --> 00:07:30.800
And I didn't, I thought about doing some additional training.

126
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:33.220
And then I met a woman here in Atlanta.

127
00:07:33.775 --> 00:07:38.755
I was going through some personal, pretty intense personal stuff. And after one session with her,

128
00:07:39.615 --> 00:07:43.715
I felt like myself for the first time in months, and that was pretty massive for me.

129
00:07:43.775 --> 00:07:52.210
And so I worked with her for about a year and a half and then decided I wanted to become a practitioner, trained with her, and then have gotten, a lot more additional training as well.

130
00:07:53.470 --> 00:07:57.710
And it's helped me with so much. It's helped helps me in the moment with difficult emotions.

131
00:07:57.710 --> 00:08:00.290
It helped me with a lot of my self limiting beliefs around,

132
00:08:00.750 --> 00:08:01.730
love and relationships.

133
00:08:02.194 --> 00:08:04.215
It's helped me with difficult interactions,

134
00:08:04.595 --> 00:08:09.315
with family and friends. And I used it also a lot in the, anti racism space.

135
00:08:09.315 --> 00:08:15.960
I do a lot of work in that space, and it's part of what I do in my own personal journey and my outward work, and it's also part of what I do.

136
00:08:16.039 --> 00:08:18.699
I I help the people in my anti racism education

137
00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:23.020
using tapping as a way to process the uncomfortable emotions that come up for them.

138
00:08:24.440 --> 00:08:32.184
What you're gonna get in the wellness tab is access to a tapping resource library that I've been compiling for the last eight months.

139
00:08:32.565 --> 00:08:37.044
There's different topics, and then there's specific tapping sequences within that topic.

140
00:08:37.044 --> 00:08:44.790
So you're gonna notice when you when you join that the top the topics are very specific, and that's because the more specific you get with tapping, the Wener.

141
00:08:44.949 --> 00:08:47.670
And all of the different topics are are able to be modified.

142
00:08:47.670 --> 00:08:50.810
And in each video, I give examples of how you might modify it.

143
00:08:51.029 --> 00:08:57.525
So not only are you getting access to this on demand resource library Wener if you have an emotion, you can go look and find the right emotion,

144
00:08:58.085 --> 00:09:02.105
the right tapping meditation and do that anywhere between ten and fifteen minutes.

145
00:09:02.885 --> 00:09:06.985
I also offer, as part of the wellness tap, one free

146
00:09:07.605 --> 00:09:08.345
live group

147
00:09:08.885 --> 00:09:10.345

That's a $59 value.

155
00:09:31.375 --> 00:09:31.875
And,

156
00:09:33.855 --> 00:09:37.555
also some really great built in accountability tools. So there's so much.

157
00:09:37.800 --> 00:09:41.820
There's a live act live component, but sometimes people really just want

158
00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:47.000
something they can access right away in the privacy of their own home without getting anyone else involved.

159
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:52.380
And there is a ton of resources, and new resources are added each month, which will be delivered to you by email.

160
00:09:54.355 --> 00:09:57.394
I already mentioned this, but but it may feel overwhelming.

161
00:09:57.394 --> 00:09:59.495
Like, what is this tapping thing, and how do I know?

162
00:10:00.035 --> 00:10:03.795
It's $89 a month, and you can quit anytime. So you can try it out.

163
00:10:03.795 --> 00:10:08.375
