At the time I wished for this book, my oldest son had graduated from college, my daughter was in the middle of her university years, and my youngest son was nearing the end of high school. He heads to university this fall. I’d fielded numerous phone calls from my son and daughter as each dealt with the stress and feelings of overwhelm most college students experience. Additionally, my daughter was struggling with a chronic illness and I was too far away to be able to effectively help. I did my best to guide and support my kids, but after each call I still felt frustrated and concerned. I am a mom, after all. The worry comes naturally.
I had looked for tools to offer my kids, ways to support them. Fortunately, my daughter was happy to use EFT and tap with me when our schedules were compatible and she had a private space to talk. My son wasn’t interested in tapping with me, and I understand his reluctance. Tapping with a parent can be difficult. Parents are usually too close to a situation involving their own kids, and I even found that to be true with my daughter sometimes. What I wanted was an effective self-help tool my students and others could turn to when stress and negative emotions were weighing them down. But none were available.On the January morning when Becki and I decided to write our book, we had been discussing a few of the books about EFT that had been written for children and elementary aged students. I remember saying to Becki that I wished there was a book specifically for college students. Becki’s immediate response was, “Let’s write one.” This shows you what a great team we are. I write all the time and have published fiction, but it hadn’t dawned on me to write an EFT book and solve my own dilemma. Thank you, again, Becki, for this awesome idea.
Becki and I got busy researching for the book, surveying college students to discover the most pressing issues they faced in school. We were also fortunate to meet with a group of college students, introduce them to EFT, and get valuable feedback. Additionally, both Becki and I have worked with college students, giving us personal insight into their stressors. We brought all of this knowledge together as we organized the book and began the writing process.
All along, we knew we wanted this project to become a workbook, something a college student could use quickly and easily, without having to read the entire thing from cover to cover. We organized the information into sections and created a detailed Table of Contents so that busy students could easily find the issue facing them and quickly flip to the appropriate section of the book. The Introduction of the book explains how to use Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) or Tapping. Each section of the book consists of customizable tapping scripts which students can use as it to release negative emotions and the accompanying stress.
Our hope is for college students to discover Tapped Out and give tapping a try. EFT is an empowering tool, allowing students, and anyone who uses it, to let go of stress and respond to every situation calmly and successfully. College is stressful. Tapped Out for College Students can help.
