Gallo, F. · Energy Psychology Journal · 2013

Review Preliminary ✓ Source-checked 📍 United States
In plain English. This paper walks through the history and theory behind using tapping to treat trauma and PTSD, illustrated with case examples, and discusses possible reasons it works, from memory reconsolidation to cognitive restructuring to placebo effects. It's an explanatory overview rather than a new outcome study, so it doesn't add its own trial data.
