NAKD CLASSICS: TAPPING FOR ANXIETY? | Sinead Stewart Talks Deep Stress Relief with EFT Tapping (ep 331)

In Nakd Classics we bring back your favorite episodes that focus on mindset, confidence and holistic health.  Original Episode 331: 

 

What if tapping for anxiety could calm your nervous system faster than meditation, affirmations, or journaling?

If you've tried all the "right" tools to manage anxiety — meditation, breathwork, affirmations — and still feel restless, overwhelmed, or stuck in your head, this episode offers a body-based alternative. 

Tapping for anxiety, also known as emotional freedom technique (EFT tapping), is a form of somatic healing that uses gentle tapping on meridian points to support nervous system healing and release stored emotional stress. In this episode of Feel Good Nakd, we explore why tapping works especially well for women who struggle to sit still, quiet the mind, or force calm — and how working with the body can create real relief.

Sinéad shares how she discovered EFT during a period of intense anxiety, why it became the one practice that truly stuck, and how she now guides others through tapping in a grounded, accessible way — especially for those who feel resistant to traditional meditation.
