Review📚 5 studies reviewedPreliminary✓ Source-checked📍 Indonesia
In plain English. This review pulled together five studies from four countries testing EFT for the common fear of public speaking among university students. Most of them found tapping reduced that anxiety, and the authors conclude EFT is achievable to introduce even with limited resources on campus. It's a small review of five studies, so it summarizes rather than adds new trial evidence.
