Introducing the TAP FOR JOY App by Peggy O'Neill
What is TAP FOR JOY?
TAP FOR JOY is a simple solution to help you and your employees relieve anxiety, increase healthy habits and optimize self-care. TAP FOR JOY is a unique vehicle for exercising your own individual neuroplasticity. That is, we literally retrain the brain to maximize our capacity for happiness and clarity.
TAP FOR JOY translates the cutting-edge mind-technology of Eutaptics (formerly known as Faster EFT), into a phone app. It offers several methods by which you can reduce stress and rewire your brain for happiness, featuring a step-by-step guide that teaches you how to “tap” so you can return to center when you come up against the hard knocks of life.
What is Tapping?
“Tapping” refers to a state-of-the-art psycho-technology that helps rewire the brain. It involves using your index and middle fingers to tap around your face and on other parts of the body while reciting a simple dialogue.
Gary Craig, author of The Unseen Therapist, founded tapping in the 1990’s, following his studies with research psychologist, Dr. Roger Callahan. Callahan’s research sought specifically to solve some of the anxiety and phobias experienced by his patients. Callahan focused on applied kinesiology and the meridian system of acupuncture as part of the healing process.
Craig then developed the system called the Emotional Freedom Technique, commonly referred to as “EFT”. Many therapists are using EFT now because of its proven effectiveness in helping people improve mental and physical health, and for resolving trauma.
The Difference Between EFT Tapping, Faster EFT and TAP FOR JOY
EFT, the Emotional Freedom Technique, founded by Gary Craig in the early 1990s, is the original tapping method. It’s what people in the wellness community are usually referring to when they speak of “tapping”.
Faster EFT (FEFT, now called Eutaptics) is a “new and improved” form of tapping, created by the brilliant Robert Smith in 2002. Eutaptics incorporates and utilizes EFT tapping, along with hypnotherapy, somatic experience and neurolinguistic programming.
Eutaptics was originally named “Faster EFT” because it is faster! It can unplug the stress from deeply stressful memories within minutes. It is easier to learn and easier to use because Eutaptics utilizes far fewer tapping points, and it brings results that are truly lasting, accessing both the subconscious and unconscious mind.
Another difference between Eutaptics and EFT is in their basic philosophy- how they see ‘people and their problems’. EFT views people’s problems coming from a distortion in their energy flow. Eutaptics views people’s problems as a perfect response to the information that's been put in their memory bank.
Eutaptics/Faster EFT doesn’t try to iron out a distortion. It says- If you want to change the behavior, change the information that's in the mind. It changes the blueprint.
TAP FOR JOY is different because it brings the power of Eutaptics/Faster EFT into a user-friendly technology that is readily accessible through anyone’s smartphone. Peggy O’Neill created TAP FOR JOY in 2021. This mighty little app offers you a step-by-step tutorial that teaches you how to tap so you can easily reduce stress and rewire your brain for happiness anytime, anywhere.
How TAP FOR JOY Works
The process is quite simple, but extremely effective. Using ancient Chinese acupressure points, the process of tapping, and a simple dialogue, all three tapping methods rewire the brain to produce profound and lasting results, helping people overcome their stress-related issues.
The unique combination of tapping and repeating a poignant inner dialogue breaks old neuro-pathways and creates new ones. In just a few minutes of practicing, people unanimously experience a decrease in anxiety and an increase in joy.
When you tap, you start by putting your attention on a stressful memory, which automatically generates stress chemicals, such as cortisol. When you start to tap, you stimulate acupressure points that correlate to your abdominal organs, giving them a signal to relax and create “happy” chemicals, like oxytocin. This switch-up in chemicals is what breaks the old neuro-pathways and creates new ones.
The result is that stressful thoughts no longer stimulate high levels of anxiety, overwhelm or other difficult emotions. TAP FOR JOY is a natural way you can unplug the stress on stressful memories, return to center, and increase happiness.
