EFT
Emotional freedom technique (EFT) or "tapping" is a method some people use to help manage emotions and troubling thoughts and lower their stress and anxiety. Using EFT, you tap your fingertips on pressure points on your hand, head, and torso. The pressure points are similar to those used in acupuncture.
