HTPA is excited to bring you a new episode in our Expand Your Network – Exploring Self-Care Modalities series!
This presentation features Harriette McDonough, an experienced energy psychology practitioner and trainer, who introduces us to Thought Field Therapy (TFT)—a powerful tapping technique designed to quickly reduce stress, anxiety, and emotional distress by working directly with the body’s energy system.
Often considered the original form of tapping (and the foundation for EFT), TFT uses specific sequences on meridian points to help release emotional intensity and restore balance—sometimes in just minutes.
Used by practitioners worldwide for trauma relief, emotional regulation, and everyday stress, this technique is simple, effective, and can be used anytime, anywhere.
In this episode, you’ll learn:

How to measure emotional intensity (SUD scale)

How to identify and release subconscious blocks
