Intro: EFT for Anxiety – Gen Z’s Go-To Stress Hack

Let’s face it: Between climate anxiety, hustle culture, and existing, Gen Z is stressed AF. Enter the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), a.k.a. “tapping” – your new mental health sidekick. No therapy couch required. Just your fingertips, a few affirmations, and maybe a vibe-boosting tool (we’ll get to that). Let’s break down how EFT works, why it’s perfect for your TikTok attention span, and two hacks to try rn.

What is EFT? Science-Backed Chill, Simplified

EFT blends ancient acupressure with modern psychology. By tapping on specific meridian points (think: energy highways in your body), you signal your nervous system to switch from “fight-or-flight” to “rest-and-digest.” Studies show it lowers cortisol (the stress hormone) and helps process trauma without retraumatizing.

Why Gen Z Loves EFT

  • DIY-Friendly: No for therapy? Tap anywhere, anytime.

Discreet AF: Pretend you’re adjusting your headphones mid-lecture.
