EFT Tapping Script – Healing Shame (20)
Theme: Destructive self-loathing, toxic self-judgment, feeling fundamentally wrong
Setup Statement (Karate Chop – repeat 3 times)
Even though I carry this deep shame, this feeling that something is wrong with me, I choose to acknowledge it with honesty and compassion.
Even though this shame makes me turn against myself, attack myself, and feel unworthy of love, I am open to the possibility that healing can begin now.
Even though I’ve learned to believe I am bad, broken, or unlovable, I choose to offer myself understanding instead of punishment.
