This simple and effective method is not only great for holiday stress, but you can use it anytime you’re dealing with stressful situations.Speaking of stress, as I record this episode in the United States, we’re in the holiday season beginning with Thanksgiving followed by Christmas, and New Year’s.

There are therapists and practitioners of Energy Psychology methods for that kind of work. If that is a path you would like to explore, I invite to visit my main Stress Solutions, LLC website at www.EFT
