Product Description
Never has it been so effortless to activate your inner power and resilience than with the remarkable technique known as ''resource tapping.'' Tapping In makes available for the first time a self-guided program for learning this revolutionary EMDR-related method. With step-by-step instruction in bilateral stimulation (a core component of EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Tapping In teaches you a clinically recognized system for tapping both sides of the body to overcome trauma, boost confidence, calm the body on a deep, physiological level, and to respond better to stress. Join world-renowned EMDR expert Dr. Laurel Parnell as she shares a series of easy-to-learn exercises to access your ''latent positive resources'' - your neurological foundation for internal resilience and stability.

An Important and Innovative Contribution
31 Jan 2008
Format:Paperback
Tapping In is an important and innovative contribution to the self-help field. With this book, Laurel Parnell, a clinical psychologist and internationally renowned EMDR trainer, has separated out a critical element of the EMDR protocol known as "resource installation" and made it safely accessible to the general public. The method - resource tapping - is very simple: relax and ground yourself, visualize and sense as clearly as possible an inner resource such as safety, calmness, confidence, strength, compassion, creativity or memories of success, and then tap alternately right-left with your hands on either your knees or arms (using a "butterfly hug") for as long as it feels good. It is a surprisingly effective way to access and/or reinforce healthier ways of thinking, feeling and acting. I know - I've used a version of it for years with my psychotherapy clients. I'm glad that this simple yet powerful method has been liberated from its EMDR roots and is now available to anyone. It is also refreshing to encounter Dr. Parnell's inclusion of an explicitly spiritual dimension to inner resource work that draws from her many years of meditation and self-inquiry. Clearly written, filled with guidelines tailored to a wide variety of applications such as reducing anxiety, calming oneself after a trauma, boosting performance, or enhancing creativity, and fleshed out with interesting case reports, Tapping In is a practical and highly effective guide for accessing the wellspring of our inner resources.

A very accessible manual for a very powerful technique
20 Feb 2008
Format:Paperback
Briefly put, "Tapping In" is a wonderful book, an accessible description of how to use the "tapping" part of EMDR to find and strengthen the already existing resources within oneself. Dr. Parnell details the process of using EMDR's bi-lateral stimulation (the sequential tapping on both sides of the body) to do this "resourcing" work, and then gives a myriad of suggestions on how to apply this to different situations. It's not at all a complex process she's describing, and unlike EMDR, which requires a trained professional to be safe and effective, Resource Tapping seemingly can be used by everyone. I have actually used it with a range of clients, including the actively psychotic, and all of them have benefited.
You can tell in her writing what absolute confidence Dr. Parnell has in a person's ability to find their own strengths, and that these exist in the first place. It's such a simple and yet powerfully transformative experience when people find out that they can adjust their internal states and moods with about the ease that they'd adjust their body if sitting in an uncomfortable position. And for this change in perspective and experience, Dr. Parnell's book is a great guide.

Parnell focuses very heavily on the positives
10 Sep 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Laurel Parnell, trained in EMDR, has adapted this method in an interesting way. EMDR invites people to focus on their trauma memories and current symptoms while alternating stimulating the right and left sides of the body. This produces intense emotional releases that rapidly clear these issues. When the negatives are cleared, positive cognitions are installed to replace the negative ones that have been released.
Parnell focuses very heavily on the positives. She has people visualize a "safe/ peaceful place, nurturing figures, protector figures, and inner wisdom figures." (p. 45) These help people calm down when agitated, fearful, injured or upset in other ways. She discourages people from focusing on previous experiences that might resonate with the current issues.
Parnell reports dramatic improvements, not only in the primary issues being addressed, but also in attitudes, self-confidence, openness to accepting positives from others and more. She also notes that with repeated practice the positive effects with her method are more easily achieved and stronger. You will find many suggestions for positive images and cognitions one can install in this book.
My hesitation about what I read is that my personal experience of clearing current issues over a period of four decades and my experience of helping clients do the same has been that current issues very frequently resonate strongly with earlier issues. In many cases, the current issues appear to be invited to occur or even to be generated by the earlier issues. Without clearing the early issues, I would be concerned that further problems could easily arise down the rocky roads of life.
