Step-by-Step EFT Tapping for Panic Attacks
1. Notice and rate it
Notice what is happening in your body — racing heart, tight chest, shallow breathing, tension, or spinning thoughts.
Rate the intensity from 0 to 10.
2. Tap the side of your hand
Tap gently on the side of your hand and say:
“Even though I’m feeling this anxiety right now, I accept myself and I’m open to calming my body.”
You can change the words to fit what you feel:
“This panic.”
“This tight chest.”
“This racing feeling.”
“This fear in my body.”
3. Tap through the points
Tap gently while repeating a short phrase like “this anxiety” or “this panic.”
Top of head · Eyebrow · Side of eye · Under eye · Under nose · Chin · Collarbone · Under arm
4. Pause and check again
Take a slow breath. Notice your body. Rate the intensity again from 0 to 10.
Even a small drop matters. It means your nervous system is starting to respond.
5. Repeat if needed
Go through another round, focusing on what is still strongest:
“The rest of this panic.”
“This remaining tightness.”
“Part of me still feels unsafe.”
Important: EFT can help calm panic, but if you have severe chest pain, fainting, trouble breathing, or symptoms that feel medically concerning, get medical help right away.
How EFT Tapping will help reduce and eliminate your
Anxiety and Panic Attacks
Anxiety does not only happen in your thoughts. It can take over your body — your breathing, chest, stomach, heartbeat, muscles, and ability to think clearly. An EFT tapping session works directly on what you feel: the fear, body sensations, memories, or triggers that are keeping your anxiety active. As the emotional charge comes down, your body will feel calmer, your mind will become clearer, and panic will finally lose its grip.
Suffering from anxiety and/or panic attacks can be overwhelminging and debilitating.
And you may even live in fear of the next panic attack or wave of anxiety.
Please do not despair.
EFT Tapping sessions can help you TREMENDOUSLY!
Your anxiety & panic attacks will be greatly reduced a lot or even eliminated.
“I had anxiety all the time, and panic attacks too often. I lived in fear of the next panic attack. After the very first tapping with Yaakov, I felt calm and centered. After a few more sessions, I came back to myself. And I no longer fear the panic attacks because I have the tools to handle and release my anxiety before I get even close that point.”
How EFT Tapping Sessions help anxiety and panic attacks:
> Calms your nervous system
Tapping helps your body shift out of high-alert mode, so you can feel calmer, steadier, and more present.
> Reduces physical anxiety symptoms
We work with the body sensations anxiety creates — tight chest, racing heart, shallow breathing, stomach tension, muscle tension, or that wired, panicky feeling.
Quiet racing thoughts
EFT tapping helps your body calm down first. As the anxiety settles, the racing thoughts become quieter, less urgent, and easier to handle.
>Reduce the Shame and Self-Criticism Around Anxiety
Anxiety and panic attacks can leave you feeling embarrassed, weak, ashamed, or like something is wrong with you. EFT tapping sessions work on the anxiety itself and the extra emotional pain around it — the shame, self-criticism, fear of another attack, and loss of confidence — so you can face the anxiety without feeling like a failure because you have it.
> Stop Fearing the Next Wave of Anxiety
One of the hardest parts of anxiety and panic attacks is the fear that it could happen again — and that you will not be able to stop it.
EFT tapping gives you a practical tool to use the moment anxiety starts rising, to calm your body and prevent it from escalating into a full panic attack.
When you know you have a way to respond, you won't live in constant fear of the anxiety taking over or of losing control again.
> Work on the Deeper Triggers Behind Anxiety and Panic
EFT Tapping sessions will make you feel less emotionl intensity around earlier experiences, fears, memories, or beliefs that keep anxiety and panic active — so your body can have more calm and less automatic fear.
RESEARCH on EFT Tapping for Anxiety
EFT Tapping has been extensively investigated for anxiety.
In a large-scale study of 5000 patients seeking
treatment for anxiety across 11 clinics over a 5.5-year period:
* With EFT tapping therapy: significant improvement in 90% of the participants, vs. only 63% the Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT) participants.
* Only 3 tapping sessions were needed before anxiety reduced, while an average of 15 was needed for CBT.
* With EFT tapping, 76% of people had complete relief of symptoms, compared with only 51% with CBT.
* One year later, the improvements with EFT treatment lasted in 78% of the tapping group, 9% more than with CBT.
Other studies also indicate equivalence or superiority over CBT.
