The amygdala, a tiny almond shaped organ in your brain acts like a thermostat regulating your emotional wellbeing.

The hippocampus is the part of your brain that stores all your memories. When you experience something negative, the memory of that experience creates a tiny indentation on the hippocampus. When the indentation is made, a distress signal is sent to the amygdala which then changes your emotional state.

When you encounter one of these stressful situations, your past negative memory that is stored on the hippocampus is activated. It then sends a distress signal to the amygdala, which in turn alters your body’s emotional wellbeing. You suddenly feel stressed, sad, angry, or tense.

Although, we commonly do not remember the past experiences that ignite our triggers, our unconscious mind always does which then evokes a particular habit or coping mechanism to deal with the current situation: some people drink, others shop, many light up a cigarette, and people who are overweight eat.

The good news is, you can train your brain to react differently in these situations using The Tap Well Method™. By tapping on specific acupressure points while you are feeling the certain undesirable emotion, a flood of serotonin enters the hippocampus and washes over the negative memory that was causing the undesired reaction.

Brain imaging devices show us that once the serotonin enters the brain, the negative memory that once was an indentation on the hippocampus is smoothed over. This deactivates the body’s distress signal which enables you to experience the situation without having a negative reaction to it.

By using this technique on a regular basis to control cravings and emotional urges, you will lose weight, and keep it off for a lifetime and conquer your emotional eating habits so you can finally achieve the life you deserve.

Expert Endorsements

Dr. Richard Petty, founder of the Integrated Medicine Program in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania, called it extraordinary to witness the instant and sustained relief this method produced for people who held long time patterns that prevented them from living their best lives.

Best-selling author, Cheryl Richardson, has identified this method as the “top-healing tool for the 21st century.”
 

And Dr. Norm Shealy, stated that when you use this dynamic method to remove emotional trauma that "...physical symptoms are helped too.”

 “A large study involving over 29,000 people was conducted using these tapping methods that proved to be successful in 87% of the subjects.”  (Andrade & Feinstein, 2003)

The Tap Well Method™ combines the best practices from EFT, Neurolinguistic Reprogramming and EMDR making it a supercharged self- healing modality. Below find expert’s endorsements and empirical research for these methods:

Studies and research on the efficiency of acupressure:

(Radiology 1999; 212:133-41 “Studies using functional MR imaging show a reduction of blood flow to the amygdala (the brains alarm center) that corresponds to an easing of emotional and physical pain. The same research found that acupressure increased serotonin, a mood regulating chemical in the brain.”
"EFT offers great healing benefits."

(Anesthesiology 2004; 21:13-19) “Studies using EEG brain wave activity and auditory responsiveness to measure states of consciousness found that acupressure could produce similarities in consciousness to people who are under anesthesia.” Deepak Chopra, MD

(Wolpe, 1958) “When highly effective acupressure points are combined with some of the best behavioral and cognitive interventions from modern psychology, the methods become very powerful and rapid treatments for stress, anxiety, and traumas of all sizes.”

Studies and research on the efficiency of Neurolinguistic Reprogramming:

Konefal (1992) found that, "Results confirm the effectiveness of neurolinguistic programming in lowering trait anxiety and increasing the sense of internal control" Konefal J, Duncan R, Reese, M: "Effect of Neurolinguistic Programming Training on Trait Anxiety and Internal Locus of Control." Psychological Reports, 70:819-832, 1992

Genser-Medlitsch & Schütz (1997) tested the effects of NLP master practitioners working on 55 clients with severe DSM conditions, many of whom were on psychiatric drugs. The control group of 60 had milder symptoms. After treatment of the NLP group, 2% felt no different, 98% felt better or much better, none felt worse (control group: 48% no different, 36% better, 15% worse). After therapy, the clients who received NLP scored higher in their perception of themselves as in control of their lives (with a difference at 10% significance level), reduced their use of drugs, used more successful coping methods, and reduced symptoms such as anxiety, aggression, paranoid thinking, social insecurity, compulsive behaviours, and depression. Positive changes in 25 of 33 symptom areas (76%) occurred as a result of NLP, positive changes in 3 areas occurred in both NLP and control groups. The researchers concluded "It could be established that, in principle, NLP is effective in accordance with the therapeutic objective." (Genser-Medlitsch & Schütz, 1997, "Does Neuro-Linguistic psychotherapy have effect?" Martina Genser-Medlitsch; Peter Schätz, ·TZ-NLP, Wiederhofergasse 4, A-1090, Wien, Austria)

Frank, 1997, using NLP in social work, approx translation from German - "The question about impact of the individual NLP interventions (the Meta model, verbal and nonverbales Pacing and leading, the attention of the body language as well as the Reframing models) [was responded] particularly positively ... The social educators consider the feedback of the client and the secondary profit of the problem behavior now substantially more intensively. Enormous changes were registered also in the formulation of goals and the attention to their ecological compatibility. Moreover, very many of the people indicated that they could increase their adaptability, feel technically more competent and make a more intensive self reflection ... According to these positive experiences the answer to the question whether NLP is meaningful as further training for social paedagogues, has fallen out very optimistically."

Lee, C., et al., Treatment of PTSD: Stress inoculation training with prolonged exposure compared to EMDR. Journal of Clinical Psychology, 2002. 58(9): p. 1071-1089. “EMDR proved significantly better than stress inoculation training with prolonged exposure in a study with 24 participants diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder. Although reduction in symptom severity was equivalent post treatment, at follow-up, EMDR lead to greater gains on both self report and observer rated measures of PTSD and self report measures of depression. In another study of 22 participants who had also been diagnosed with PTSD, both EMDR and prolonged exposure were found to be effective post treatment. Participants receiving EMDR appeared to improve quicker in that 70% had reached a level of clinically significant improvement in PTSD after three EMDR sessions compared to only 17% in the prolonged exposure condition.

American Psychiatric Association (2004). Practice Guideline for the treatment of patients with acute stress disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder. Arlington, VA: American Psychiatric Association Practice Guidelines. “Based on the evidence of controlled research both the practice guidelines of the American Psychiatric Association and the Department of Veterans Affairs and Defense have placed EMDR in the highest category of effectiveness and research support in the treatment of trauma. This status is reflected in a number of international guidelines where EMDR is a recommended treatment for trauma.”

Edmond, T., A. Rubin, and K. Wambach, The effectiveness of EMDR with adult female survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Social Work Research, 1999. 23(2): p. 103-116. “EMDR has been demonstrated to have significant advantages over usual treatment for PTSD in an HMO setting, and improvement was maintained at a six month follow-up. EMDR has been shown to be effective on measures of trauma, depression and anxiety in women and men who have been sexually abused as children.”
