Complementing the ‘Zones of Regulation’, or as a stand alone self regulation technique, Snappy Tappy® provides a practical and accessible method for children and young people to modify/calm the emotions they are feeling ‘in the moment’ or ‘after the event’, to help them feel LESS; • anxious • angry • fearful • frustrated • overwhelmed • shame • hurt or any other emotion which is distracting them, pre occupying them or preventing them being ‘in the green zone’ or in a balanced emotional state. Snappy Tappy® which is an adaptation of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is an evidence- based modality. It is often referred to as Tapping by practitioners and users because that is what we do. Tapping works with the body’s internal energy systems similar to Acupuncture. However, where Acupuncture uses needles, Tapping uses stimulation of the meridians using gentle finger tapping pressure, while simultaneously focussing on the current difficulty. This dual attention helps your brain process whatever might be troubling you. Snappy Tappy® training takes place over two sessions both 3-4 hours long. The initial training introduces the background to Tapping, examines other adaptations of EFT and gets you ready for your own Snappy Taps and case studies. These are then reviewed 2 months later and you’re on your way to helping children and young people with Snappy Tappy®. Your licence is valid for 1 calendar year and can be renewed following a yearly check in and CPD. Meet the trainer: Miriam is the author and creator of Snappy Tappy® and uses daily in her workplace within education. This position allows for reflection and change, and also a wealth of ideas to help you be the most effective in helping children and young people around you. This course is for all educators and healthcare professionals that work with children, including children with special needs.
