Interview kit

Suggested questions and talking points for podcast hosts, journalists, and producers.

01 For someone who’s never heard of Tapping, how would you explain what it is and why it works in 60 seconds?
02 What would you say to the person who’s tried therapy, meditation, medication, and still feels stuck — why should they believe EFT Tapping is different?
03 You’ve built The Tapping Solution as a family — siblings working together every day. What makes that work, and what makes it hard?
04 Tapping now has over 300 peer-reviewed studies behind it. What’s the most compelling piece of science you’d point a skeptic to?
05 You’ve guided millions of people through Tapping sessions in the app. What’s the most common thing people misunderstand about this technique before they try it?
06 You’ve guided millions of people through Tapping sessions in The Tapping Solution App. What patterns do you notice in what people are struggling with most right now?
07 You went from being students at Tony Robbins events to building one of the most-used wellness apps in the world. What was the turning point where you realized this wasn’t just a personal practice but a movement?
08 The Tapping Solution App has generated what may be the largest real-world dataset on any mind-body technique — over 32 million sessions. What has that data taught you that lab studies alone couldn’t?
09 After the Sandy Hook shooting in your hometown, you were on the ground offering support to the community through Tapping. How did that experience change you and your understanding of what this work can do?
10 There’s a growing body of research showing Tapping reduces cortisol by up to 43% in a single session and can even change gene expression. As someone who started doing this long before the science caught up — what’s it like to watch the research validate what you’ve been seeing in practice for two decades?
11 What does your own personal Tapping practice look like day to day? When do you reach for it?
12 What’s next for The Tapping Solution? Where do you see this work heading in the next five years?
13 Tapping uses the same acupressure points that have been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years. What’s actually happening in the brain and body when someone taps on these points?
14 What’s the most surprising use of Tapping you’ve seen — something you never would have predicted when you started this work?
15 Tapping is now being used in VA hospitals, schools, disaster relief, corporate wellness programs, and professional sports. Which of those applications excites you the most and why?
16 Your app data shows that people experience an average 30% reduction in stress and anxiety in a single session. What does that tell us about how quickly the nervous system can actually shift?
17 People use Tapping for everything from chronic pain to test anxiety to fear of flying. Is there a common thread that explains why one technique can work across such different issues?
