Pre-Tapping Orientation (Therapist or Self-Guided)

Before we begin, notice your breath. You are not here to relive the past, only to release what your body is ready to let go of.

Intensity Rating (SUDS):
On a scale of 0–10, how intense does this emotional distress feel right now?

Target Issue Statement:
“I experience emotional pain and insecurity in my relationships.”

---

Setup Statement (Karate Chop – 3 Rounds)

Tap on the karate chop point and repeat slowly:

“Even though I carry emotional pain from past relationships and experiences, I deeply and completely accept myself.”

“Even though part of me learned to protect itself through fear, control, or withdrawal, I honor that this once helped me survive.”

“Even though my past still influences how I show up in relationships, I am open to healing at my own pace.”
