Emotional blocks. Self-sabotage. Limiting beliefs. For many of us, these aren’t just abstract ideas—they’re invisible walls we crash into every time we try to improve our health, finances, relationships, or well-being. In this episode, we explore a deceptively simple but profoundly effective tool to break through those walls: Emotional Freedom Technique, or tapping. From reducing cortisol and relieving anxiety to reprogramming deep-seated beliefs, tapping offers a practical, science-backed way to calm your nervous system and open the door to real change.

Listeners are also invited into powerful live tapping rounds, including one-on-one demos, real-time breakthroughs, and guidance for practical daily use.

Episode Highlights
The Power of Tapping to Release Emotional Blocks
- Brad Yates is introduced alongside Eram Saeed, who shares a heartfelt memory of discovering Brad’s tapping work during a painful divorce.
- EFT is a way to neutralize stress responses and break out of self-sabotage patterns.
- Brad uses the “electric fence” analogy to describe how subconscious beliefs protect us from success, wealth, or health we consciously desire.
- Tapping is presented as a safe, physical method to down-regulate stress and clear the fear response that blocks progress.
- This technique helps dissolve deep emotional blocks that keep people stuck in patterns of stress, fear, or self-doubt.
Energy Psychology Meets Modern Science
- Tapping points are mapped from acupuncture, and may create subtle energy shifts that influence well-being.
Brad: “When we tap them, it sends this calming signal to the brain, and it allows us to relax. So even without words, you can allow yourself to relax. So that's one of the great things about this stress relief technique.”
- The capacity for EFT to reduce cortisol levels, a key stress hormone, is backed by fMRI studies and double-blind research.
- Even without words, tapping can shift the nervous system from fight-or-flight into relaxation and clarity.
- Eram and Brad emphasize how trauma survivors, including victims of domestic violence, experience rapid transformation through this technique.
The Role of Words in Tapping
- While silent tapping still works, speaking fears aloud can bring hidden blocks to the surface.
- Brad shares how repeating a distressing phrase focuses the “emotional vacuum” on where healing is needed most.
- He compares tapping to vacuuming dirt—without clarity on what you're addressing, you risk cleaning the wrong spot.
- The audience is reminded that EFT is not about positive thinking, but honest confrontation of what feels unsafe or misaligned.
How to Tap: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Brad guides listeners through the eight core tapping points, starting from the karate chop to the crown of the head.
- Each point correlates with energetic pathways, and repetition helps soothe the body’s defense mechanisms.
- Tapping while repeating fear-based beliefs helps release their grip, rather than suppressing them.
- Participants are invited to try a full round of tapping, checking in with their emotional intensity before and after.
Tapping Demonstration 1: Kanishk on Academic Resistance
- Kanishk shares that despite wanting to succeed academically, something within holds him back.
- Brad walks him through a tapping sequence to address fears about effort, failure, and expectations.
- The session reveals a deeper question—what if I try and still don’t succeed?
- By the end of the round, Kanishk reports his resistance dropping from an 8 to a 4, feeling more open and less stuck.
Tapping Demonstration 2: Emily on Relationship Fears
- Emily expresses a desire to feel safe in close relationships but admits to keeping people at a distance.
- Through Brad’s guided tapping, she uncovers a fear of loss—having more means having more to lose.
- The session reframes her resistance as emotional intelligence, a protective mechanism rather than weakness.
- Tears follow release, and Emily acknowledges feeling both vulnerable and relieved.
Brad: “Remember, self sabotage is misguided. Self love, you are protecting yourself.”
Healing and Emotional Breakthroughs
- Participants share breakthroughs in real time—some cry, others yawn, and many feel energetic shifts.
- Brad explains yawning as a common signal of nervous system recalibration during EFT.
- Eram notes how many deeply buried beliefs begin surfacing once the body starts to feel safe.
- The atmosphere becomes one of collective release, curiosity, and gentle self-compassion.
Introducing the Tapping Into Your Best Life Program
- Brad and Eram present a structured, 12-week tapping course for deep emotional reprogramming.
Brad: “Plenty of people making a lot of money in careers that they absolutely hate. So creating a life that you love; environment, environment is so key to how we take care of the places that we are.”
- The program includes video modules, written guides, and habit-tracking tools to help users stay consistent.
- It covers every life area—relationships, health, money—with space for reflection and personal scripting.
- Eram explains how structure helps bypass avoidance patterns and maintain momentum for real change.
Living Unblocked: Emotional Freedom as a Daily Practice
- Brad and Eram explore how EFT allows us to help others by healing ourselves first.
- Eram shares stories of using EFT to help her daughter and women healing from trauma in Pakistan.
- Audience members express heartfelt gratitude for the safe, loving energy created in the session.
- The episode closes with a reminder: by calming our energy, we change not just ourselves—but the world.
