At first, I was skeptical, but now I don't go a day without Tapping.
From Skeptic to Daily Practice
Like many who encounter Tapping for the first time, Victoria was skeptical. The idea of Tapping on your face and body while talking about emotions seemed strange. But her therapist, who specializes in complex trauma work, incorporated it into their weekly sessions.
The results spoke louder than her doubts. What Victoria experienced in those sessions was so profound that Tapping quickly became a non-negotiable part of her daily routine.

More Than a Coping Skill
Victoria has learned many coping skills over the years. Grounding techniques. Breathing exercises. Journaling. All of them helpful, but none of them created the shifts that Tapping does.
As she describes it, Tapping isn't just another tool in the toolbox—it's fundamentally different. It's empowering. It's effective. And most importantly, it helps her feel more in control of her emotions and internal world.
Working with a Trauma Specialist
Victoria's story highlights the importance of working with qualified professionals when dealing with complex trauma. Her Tapping journey is supported by weekly therapy sessions with a specialist, combining professional guidance with personal practice.
Navigating Nursing School and Healing
Victoria's timing couldn't be more challenging. She's in her final semester of nursing school while simultaneously doing intense therapeutic work on childhood trauma. The pressure is immense.
Anxiety. Perfectionism. Self-confidence struggles. These are her current battles. But instead of being overwhelmed by them, she has Tapping as a constant companion, a way to process the stress in real-time.
It's more than just a coping skill—it's empowering, effective, and helps me feel more in control of my emotions and internal world.
Holding On to Hope
One of Victoria's biggest challenges is holding on to the confidence that she will get through this—that there's a bright future ahead. When you're in the middle of trauma work, that belief can feel fragile.
But Tapping gives her a way to reconnect with that hope. To calm the nervous system when doubt creeps in. To remind her body that she is safe enough to heal.
