EFT Tapping Script
Healing Your Fears and Phobias
Preparation
Sit comfortably and allow your body to settle.
Take a slow, deep breath in… and gently breathe out.
Bring to mind the fear or phobia you want to work with.
You do not need to relive it intensely — just notice it lightly.
Observe any sensations, emotions, or thoughts without judgment.
