Elizabeth Fisher

We are thrilled to have Elizabeth Fisher, EFT or Tapping Expert, on the show.  Have you ever felt the emotional hit of your condition more than the physical symptoms?  Could it all be in your head?  It could, but tapping may really help you release that.  We talk about some real weird conditions and how Liz helps people get back to health.

Summary

Liz shares her personal journey of overcoming trichotillomania, a body-focused repetitive behavior, through the use of tapping or Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). She explains that trichotillomania is often a way for highly sensitive individuals to soothe themselves and protect themselves from uncomfortable emotions. Liz also discusses how tapping can lower cortisol levels and help manage anxiety and stress. The mechanics of tapping involve accessing energy pathways and acupressure points on the body. Tapping can be a powerful tool for reducing addictive behaviors and promoting emotional well-being. Tapping on specific points of the body can help lower cortisol levels and regulate the autonomic nervous system. The nine tapping points correspond to different organs and energy channels in the body. Tapping can be used for various conditions, including ADHD, tinnitus, and TMJ. The words used during tapping are important and should be specific to the issue being addressed. Negative beliefs about tapping can be addressed through tapping as well. Tapping can bring up underlying traumas or emotions that need to be worked through. It is a personalized approach that can be effective for many different issues. In this part of the conversation, Matt and Liz discuss the effectiveness of tapping and how it can lead to immediate course corrections. They also talk about the importance of daily tapping and the need to work on different aspects of an issue. Liz emphasizes that everyone is different and there is no set timeline for healing. They also touch on the idea of past life regression and future self therapy. Liz mentions matrix re-imprinting as another modality she is interested in exploring. In this final part of the conversation, Liz discusses the use of EFT and matrix re-imprinting to address trauma and negative experiences. She explains how matrix re-imprinting works by replacing negative memories with positive ones. Matt and Tom joke about the website for matrix re-imprinting and their backgrounds in web design. They also discuss the challenges of working in marketing and the high levels of anxiety it can cause. The conversation then shifts to the topic of perimenopause and the need for more open discussions about women’s health issues. Liz shares information about her podcast and the various topics she covers, including tapping and energy medicine.
