Real Results of Freedom

When Fear Has Been Running the Show

Fear is supposed to protect us. It's our brain's alarm system, designed to keep us safe from real threats. But sometimes that system gets miscalibrated—and suddenly you're avoiding elevators, or public speaking, or flying, or things that pose no actual danger.

The frustrating thing about phobias is that you know they're irrational. You know the spider can't hurt you. You know the plane is statistically safe. But knowing doesn't make the fear go away—because fear isn't logical.

These stories are from people who finally found freedom from fears that had controlled their lives—not by forcing themselves to "face their fears," but by rewiring the alarm system itself.

I used the app specifically for the fear of flying every night for at least a week before flying out and I had the best experience ever. I couldn't believe it.

Why Fear Gets Stuck

Important Medical Notice

If you have been diagnosed with a phobia or anxiety disorder, please work closely with your healthcare provider. The Tapping Solution App is designed for general wellness and emotional support. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition, and should not replace professional medical or mental health treatment.

At some point, your brain learned that something was dangerous—even if it wasn't. Maybe you had a bad experience, or you learned the fear from a parent, or it just seemed to appear out of nowhere. Your amygdala flagged that thing as a threat, and now it triggers a full fear response every time you encounter it.

Traditional approaches often involve exposure therapy—gradually facing the feared thing until your brain learns it's safe. This works, but it's often excruciating. You're essentially brute-forcing your nervous system into submission.

Tapping takes a different approach. Instead of just exposing yourself to the fear and white-knuckling through it, you calm your nervous system while you think about the feared thing. You're teaching your brain that it's safe to let go of the alarm—without having to actually be in the feared situation.

Amalia's Story

Fear of Flying • Repeat Success

FEATURED

"Second time in my life I have tried the app specifically for the fear of flying every night for at least a week before flying out and I had the best experience ever. I couldn't believe it."

WHERE SHE STARTED

Amalia first used Tapping for grief a couple of years ago after losing someone very dear to her. "I have used it daily few times a day and I felt better and better. Now I am over this and happy when I think of the process as I am not stuck."

WHAT CHANGED

When she applied the same approach to her fear of flying, the results were equally powerful. A week of nightly Tapping before her flight, and she had "the best experience ever." On the return trip, she only did it once on the day of flying—still had the best flying experience.

LIFE NOW

"I am a believer now, although I did the mistake of giving up the membership and now I regret it. I have also used the sleep challenge and I slept better and better each day. I love EFT."

What strikes me about Amalia's story is how the same approach worked for grief and then for flying. Tapping addresses the underlying nervous system response, which is why it helps across different issues.

Marina

Needle Phobia

"I have needle phobia. I did Tapping this last September before leaving home to get my last blood test and again while waiting in the cabin for the nurse. For the first time in years I didn't cry and I didn't hyperventilate. Thank you."

Years of tears and hyperventilation at blood tests—resolved with Tapping before and during the appointment. Simple but profound.

Petra

Multiple Fears

"Tapping makes me more relaxed and it helps me when I get a panic attack. I am also more relaxed with the dentist and flying. They are great to follow and it works great!"

Panic attacks, dentist fear, flying anxiety—tapping helps across multiple fear types because it addresses the underlying nervous system response.

Marion

Agoraphobia

"This is an astonishing discovery: agoraphobia non existent when gardening today - a real first! TAPPING WORKS!!!"

Marion also did so much clutter clearing, filing, and tidying "in a calm and meditative state." When the fear dissolves, life opens up.

Julie

Fear of Doctors

"I noticed a new Tapping series around the theme of fear of doctors. Thank you for these! I've been hoping you would develop some Tapping sessions around this theme!"

"I've used the versions around going to the dentist and needles. Those have helped me enormously!" Medical fears are incredibly common—and incredibly treatable with Tapping.

When Fear of Driving Returns

Sometimes fears return in new situations—like driving a new car after weeks without practice. Tapping helps you meet the fear exactly where you are.

Fear of Driving • New Car

Anonymous App User

"Today I had to pick up my brand new car from the car yard and drive it home across town, not having driven for 6 weeks. I was feeling a bit apprehensive and anxious. Over the last couple of days, I did the 'fear of driving' three times and was able to drive quite comfortably home with a friend beside me. Thank you, Tapping family."

This is what we see often—consistent Tapping practice in the days leading up to a feared situation can make all the difference.
