Note: EFT tapping is a self-regulation tool and not a substitute for trauma therapy. The wording should be adapted to the person’s actual experience and emotional intensity.

Case Study 00434 – EFT Tapping Script

Issue Focus

• Identity confusion
• Emotional hiding / lack of personal transparency
• Fearful-avoidant attachment
• Mental confusion and memory stress
• Insecurity and self-doubt
• Hopelessness about the future
• Relationship pain
• Grief and unresolved emotional loss

---

Step 1 – Assess Intensity

Before tapping, ask:

“On a scale of 0–10, how intense does this feel right now?”

(0 = no distress, 10 = overwhelming)

---

Step 2 – Setup Statement (Karate Chop Point)

(Tap the side of the hand)

Repeat 3 times:

Even though I feel confused, disconnected, insecure, and emotionally overwhelmed, I deeply and completely accept myself right now.

Even though part of me hides, fears closeness, feels lost, and carries pain from relationships and grief, I choose to begin healing.

Even though I feel unsure of myself, afraid of the future, and burdened by emotional pain, I allow myself to be open to peace and healing.

Post-Tapping Reflection Questions

After tapping, ask:

1. What intensity number is it now (0–10)?
2. What emotion feels strongest now?
3. Did any memories, images, or body sensations arise?
4. What does the hurting part of me need right now?
5. What small act of self-care would support me today?
