One of the questions I get most often is something to the effect of, “Does tapping cure X?” where you can replace “X” with cancer, fibromyalgia, IBS, and virtually any other disease you can think of. My standard is always this:
Tapping itself doesn’t “cure” anything.
A note on scope: Tapping supports stress and emotional wellbeing alongside professional care; it is not a treatment or cure for cancer or any other medical condition. Please work with your oncology team on the diagnosis and treatment itself, and use tapping for the fear, grief, and self-criticism that show up around it.

Tapping (this emotional work, letting go, forgiving, stopping self-criticism, clearing old traumas) HELPS the body heal. The body knows how to heal itself and when we get out of the way, it often does just that. One of the most challenging parts of any physical “disease” is the emotional component, the stress, the self-criticism, and how they affect the body.
Watch as I tap with Deirdre on the diagnosis of cancer, on self-criticism, courage, and much more. We had some good laughs, and please excuse the “slightly” foul language; it’s used for a purpose as you’ll see!
At about 13 minutes in, it gets pretty intense. Watch closely as just one phrase brings up so much. In just a few minutes, you can see the transformation happening right before your eyes.
Even if you’re not dealing with a physical challenge, you’ll find this especially helpful if:
- You’re frustrated because you “know” all this stuff but aren’t getting the results you want
- You have a habit of criticizing yourself
- You’re not giving yourself enough credit for your courage, perseverance and will
