EFT Tapping Script
Emotional Regulation
Preparation
Sit comfortably with your feet grounded.
Place your hands over your heart or on your lap.
Take a slow, deep breath in… and exhale fully.
Bring awareness to a current emotion that feels intense or difficult to manage — anger, sadness, fear, frustration, or overwhelm.
Notice where it shows up in your body — tightness, heaviness, tension, or heat.
Acknowledge these feelings without judgment, knowing it’s safe to release and balance them.
