Class 3: Cognitions

Negative & Positive Thoughts

This 2-hour workshop empowers mental health therapists to integrate Somatic Tapping for Cognitions into their practice, helping clients to reduce and often release negative cognitions that repeat in the mind. This class also teaches how to increase positive feelings and thoughts using tapping.

Participants will explore the connection between negative cognitions and emotional distress, learn to assess and prioritize these cognitions using the Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDS), and practice leading tapping sessions to facilitate emotional relief.

Additionally, therapists will gain insight into key tapping concepts, such as “borrowing benefits” and managing rising emotions during tapping.

This hands-on, experiential class will equip therapists with actionable tools to enhance their clients’ emotional awareness and healing.

Three downloadable audio tapping exercises are included in the course.
