Here are questions that were explored in this interview:

“Safety as a Prerequisite for Healing”

When a person uses EFT Tapping on themselves or with a practitioner, on any number of issues, like the inability to sleep, is it always fairly obvious in advance to know exactly what issues, feelings and concerns you will end up tapping on?

Is it possible that tapping can help to resolve health issues may be somehow related or connected to adverse or traumatic life experiences?

If when tapping, one finds oneself tuned into recalling significant emotional or traumatic life events, is it ok to tap on them yourselves or should you work with a qualified and well trained practitioner?

Why is “feeling safe” so critical when attempting to heal from emotional wounds? Is there a scientific rationale for this?

How can a person increase their felt sense of safety when doing tapping?

What are some ways that we can work to increase the felt sense of safety in our clients?

How did you come to feel so passionate and committed to educating the public and the tapping profession about Safety and Trauma Informed practices?
