Good morning,
I am completely fascinated by the concept of neuroplasticity.
Neuroplasticity is a term that refers to the ability of our brains to adapt to our environment and change with experience. That means that the brain's neurological pathways aren't set in stone, but are flexible and can be reshaped.
On one level we already understand this. We know that we can stop old habits (like smoking) and create new ones (like tapping).
At the same time, it wasn't until the 1960s that there was scientific proof that we could actually change our brains.
I find this really exciting for two reasons.
First, it means that we aren't stuck! We can change the way we see ourselves, see the world and, most importantly, change the way we feel.
Second, it makes me want to tap even more because it means I'm not just changing how I feel in the moment, it's also possible to make change at a neurological level that is lasting.
In this week's podcast my friend Dr. Kim D'Eramo and I discuss the relationship between neuroplasticity and the process of transforming anxiety and depression.
Kim gives a number of straightforward approaches that we can use with tapping to transform anxiety and depression in a way that isn't just about feeling better now, but will create long-term change.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this,
