Release Critical Self Talk
Emotional Freedom Technique Tapping Session
This guided Critical Self Talk Tapping meditation uses EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) to gently release harsh self-judgment and panic triggered by mirror reflections, shifting from inner criticism to compassionate acceptance of your body.
It progresses from acknowledging painful beliefs and emotions to affirming gratitude, worthiness, and loving-kindness, empowering healthier self-care and a kinder relationship with yourself.
