EFT Tapping Script
Healing Your Social Phobia
Preparation
Sit comfortably and allow your body to settle.
Take a slow breath in through your nose…
and gently release it through your mouth.
Bring to mind a social situation that normally triggers anxiety (speaking, being seen, meeting people, crowds).
Notice where you feel the anxiety in your body — without forcing it to change.
Setup Statement
