Letters from TappyFriends
Dear Till,
As you know, I am an elementary school counselor as well as an EFT practitioner. I have been doing both
group and individual counseling at school with TappyBear. Now that I have 5 TappyBears, each child in
the group gets his/her own TappyBear to work with, and the students love that! Currently, I am working
with students PK - 6th grade in both groups and individual counseling. It's amazing how responsive to
TappyBear all of the students are, both boys and girls, no matter what grade.
Many of my students are already familiar with EFT and tapping because I've been teaching them about it.
For those students, having TappyBear just adds to the fun. They also like "giving their energy" to
TappyBear and tapping for themselves surrogately.
For students new to EFT, or for students who are very angry or distrustful, it is such a nonthreatening way
to introduce EFT to them.
Last week I had just such a student. One of our upper grade children who has a lot of issues to deal with,
including one parent incarcerated, a sudden and very unexpected death in the family, and sudden death of
a beloved pet.
This student was saying things like, "I want to hurt myself." I might as well die." This student, new to our
school, didn't know about EFT. Using TappyBear, I explained briefly about the body's energy system and
meridian points, and we used TappyBear to tap on.
The student responded immediately and positively. After a few rounds on TappyBear, we switched to
tapping on ourselves. It was just awesome how easily the student learned the process. I also noticed that
the student continued to hold TappyBear even though we were now using our own body points. Several
days later I had this student in a group, and it was just beautiful to see that changes had already taken
place. Instead of the depressed, angry, and somewhat hopeless student I had first encountered, there was
now a smiling and enthusiastic one, eager to explain all about TappyBear to the members of the group.
So far, here's what I've seen with TappyBear...
1) the children are fascinated about the "spots" and want to know what they are for if they don't already
know about EFT, or, if they do know about EFT, they like to explain what the spots are for,
2) they are very open to giving their energy to TappyBear and tapping for themselves surrogately (we
always take our energy back when we are through!),
3) after tapping on TappyBear, they easily can switch to tapping on themselves,
4) most of them will want to continue to hold TappyBear, even when we aren't tapping on him, and
5) they all want to take him home with them!
This is really long, but I wanted you to know what TappyBear has
been up to so far! Feel free to use this anyway you like. I want
everyone to know how wonderful TappyBear is!
Love, hugs, and blessings
