In plain English. This case report tracked two therapy clients week-by-week using digital assessments as they went through severe COVID-19 infections, using a broad integrative therapy model that includes tapping among other techniques. As an n=2 case report with an integrative multi-technique approach, it can't isolate what specifically drove the recovery.
