In this episode... Sebastiaan responds to a viewer's question about how to do EFT tapping in public. He demonstrates "finger tapping", a less noticeable method of tapping on your fingers than tapping on the usual EFT tapping points. However, using this technique to get rid of Social Anxiety in a social situation will not be as effective as traditional tapping. Sebastiaan advised that finger tapping will work better if done simultaneously with the intention to accept and allow the anxiety to happen. You can improve your tapping effectiveness by watching our guided tapping videos regularly.  Get our FREE Mini course: The 7 Secrets to Social Confidence https://bit.ly/socialconfidencepodcast Go here for show notes page. ______ Do you feel awkward in social situations?

In this episode... Sebastiaan shares a comment made by a "7 Day Social Confidence Challenge" participant, named Jeffrey.  During the challenge, participants were asked to tap along with a guided visualization to imagine themselves being socially at ease.  Jeffrey was initially nervous about this exercise, but it helped him realize that he could change and that there was hope. He began to release the emotions associated with this thought while tapping, which led him to realize that he could change.  Seb explains that tapping helps to loosen the validity of limiting beliefs and negative emotions, leading to a positive cycle of progress, results, and motivation.  To learn more, get our FREE Mini course: "The 7 Secrets to Social Confidence" https://bit.ly/socialconfidencepodcast ______ Do you feel awkward in social situations?
