Tapping Q & A - Getting the most out of tapping and EFTUnderstand Neuroplasticity To Transform Anxiety With Tapping w/ Dr. Kim D'EramoI am completely fascinated by the concept of neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is a term that refers to the ability of our brains to adapt to our environment and change with experience. That means that the brain's neurological pathways aren't set in stone, but are flexible and can be reshaped. One one level we already understand this. We know that we can stop old habits (like smoking) and create new ones (like tapping). At the same time, it wasn't until the 1960s that there was scientific proof that we could actually change our brains.
