TRAUMATIC STRESS

MANAGEMENT with EFT

Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT tapping, is a somatic tool that can give trauma sufferers their lives back. It helps people process trauma and provides a powerful coping skill for trauma recovery.

EFT Group Training for Traumatic Stress

Focused on PTSD, MST, and anxiety coping skills

The Tapping Hotline is a growing team of certified Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT tapping) practitioners who provide training in EFT.

Led by founder Wayne Tuttle, the Tapping Hotline works with groups who suffer from acute stress, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms to train them on how to use EFT to manage their emotions and heal from trauma. The Tapping Hotline specializes in providing services to military veterans, first responders, and domestic abuse survivors.

Group training in EFT is made available to women’s shelters and military veterans free of charge through donations. Contact us to learn more.

Much of the transformative power of EFT is in its ability to give individuals suffering from the effects of trauma a sense of agency over their emotional and mental health.

Welcome to the Tapping Hotline.

This website is not to be used in lieu of proper medical attention. If you are in a dangerous or life threatening situation please call 911 and get yourself safe. In the interim, you can continue tapping to alleviate the intensity of what you are experiencing.

Relief with EFT Training

Comfort, sleep, relationships they enjoy, the ability to function in society… this is what the Tapping Hotline’s EFT training can restore for people. Providing relief from everyday challenges to severe challenges, the Tapping Hotline is available for anyone seeking help.

Even for those at the end of their rope, or at a place of hopelessness, EFT can bring some relief in as little as 30 seconds and profound relief in as little as 20 minutes. People are amazed to find that the pain from the trauma that has been lodged in their body is removed through EFT. Once the acute pain is removed, people can then move on to heal other issues they may have. Now they can deal with those issues without the pain.

They have a handle on life.

Are you a facilitator or manager of an organization that supports the mental health of first responders, military veterans, or abuse survivors?

Imagine providing a tool to first responders, veteran group leaders, or domestic abuse support personnel that pre-empts the onset of PTSD symptoms… one they can also use in their work to help others. That tool is EFT tapping with Flow State Techniques™.

“Capable and compassionate...these are the words that best describe Wayne Tuttle and his implementation of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) as a means for clients to, literally, tap into the source of their physical pain and emotional distress. By leaning into his deep knowledge of the techniques, Wayne facilitates his sessions with a gentleness and respect for the impetus of one's pain and distress. With a calm voice and gentle movements, Wayne leads clients through a series of tapping sequences while setting personalized intentions for healing.

“The experience with Wayne allowed me to access deep-seeded trauma experiences and beliefs in a way that allowed for my personal and spiritual growth and progress. With decades of history with depression and anxiety, this was no small feat and I am forever indebted to this kind and compassionate soul.”

Understanding more about ADS and Flow State Techniques

The Autonomic Directive System (ADS), coined by Wayne Tuttle, takes care of most of our daily functions automatically. The ADS was designed to enable us to replicate routine tasks without the need to think through every move we make throughout the day. In the case of PTSD, the ADS is functioning to the best of its ability, just as it was designed to do, installing in our subconscious the ability to react instantaneously to circumstances that have proved to be detrimental.

Most of the time we have the ability to shake off the effects from stressful experiences. In other cases, we may need some help to neutralize a stressful  or extreme experience, and in the case of first responders, the repeat witnessing of traumatic events. This is where techniques like EFT have proven themselves invaluably useful.

Flow State Techniques combines the value of EFT with conscious choice to move us from default ADS to optimized ADS.

Meet the Tapping Hotline founder, Wayne Tuttle

Wayne Tuttle is an EFT trainer specializing in traumatic stress relief. His focus is on helping relieve the debilitating symptoms of trauma for military veterans, law enforcement, first responders, and victims of domestic violence through group trainings, workshops, and speaking engagements.

Wayne is the founder of Flow State Techniques™, a proprietary, modified EFT technique that simplifies trauma relief and enables people can gain control of their emotions and lives.

How does EFT help with PTSD symptoms?

Many symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and acute stress disorder are the result of negative or distressing emotions and thoughts associated with a past traumatic experience. EFT is a valuable tool for helping a person break the energetic pattern around the traumatic experience and dissolve its power over their emotional and mental health. 

A PTSD diagnosis is not needed for EFT tapping to be effective. For a person suffering from anxiety, depression, insomnia, anger, and hopelessness due to any kind of traumatic stress, tapping can provide rapid relief. From that point, healing and a more fulfilling life can begin.

Group EFT training for immediate stress management skills

Imagine providing traumatized people an opportunity to feel in control of their emotions, one that also provides confidence in their power to address and neutralize whatever comes up. That is the power of EFT!

EFT training is ideal for groups where:

  • Stress and life coping skills are needed.

  • Your client or service group is experiencing trauma, PTSD, or needs tools for gaining emotional control.

  • A tool for gaining emotional control is a priority.

  • Therapy alone isn’t getting the desired results or more immediate relief is wanted.

  • Therapy is not wanted, affordable, or accessible.

  • Distraction with drugs, harmful behaviors, and other numbing activities is getting in the way of healing.

“I’ve seen clients go from
‘I am at the end, this is it’ to giddy, happy, and saying, ‘what was I thinking?’ All with one EFT tapping session.”
