Rewiring Stress with EFT + Gratitude: A Conversation with Carol Look
Psychotherapist, founding EFT Master, and bestselling author Carol Look joins Shannon to demystify Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)—aka “tapping.” Carol explains why opening the “file” (naming the real stressor), tapping specific acupoints, and then layering gratitude can calm the fight-or-flight response and create lasting behavior change. Shannon shares her own session experience, and together they explore safety in the nervous system, why “positive thinking” isn’t enough, and practical targets anyone can use to start tapping today.
What You’ll Learn
- EFT 101: What tapping is and how it calms the nervous system
- “Open the file”: Why focusing on the actual trigger matters more than generic positivity
- Safety first: How a dysregulated nervous system quietly drives avoidance and self-sabotage
- Targets that work: Four categories—emotions, limiting beliefs, physical symptoms, and specific memories
- Gratitude as a superpower: Research-backed benefits and how to pair it with tapping for deeper change
- From stuck to steady: Questions that uncover the hidden “upside” of staying stuck
