Tapping is rooted in the principles of Chinese medicine, particularly acupressure, where specific points on the body are stimulated to balance the flow of energy or “qi.” This practice has evolved over time, and in the 1990s, Gary Craig developed the EFT method, which integrated tapping on meridian points with verbalizing emotional experiences. Craig’s approach aimed to disrupt the negative thought patterns associated with emotional distress, essentially rewiring the brain’s response to stressors.
