In this episode... We share a replay of a live EFT tapping coaching session with James, where we focus on easing the fear of judgment—one of the most common struggles for those dealing with social anxiety. You'll hear how anticipatory anxiety showed up for James before the session, how self-judgment and the belief of "I'm not good enough" made social situations feel unsafe, and how physical tension and emotional discomfort were part of his experience.
