As someone that over the years associated having panic attacks with doctor appointments and fainting with blood draws, I resonate with those of you that get anxious just thinking about an upcoming appointment.

If this kind of self-confidence and peacefulness entices you, this tapping sequence is for you.
Let me know: does this shift anything for you?
