When Ann Hince found her mother dead on the bathroom floor at age 19, she had no idea the impact this trauma would have on her body and mind for decades to come. In this deeply moving conversation, Ann reveals how her grief journey led to an extraordinary physical and emotional transformation through a technique called Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or "tapping."
Ann's story begins with multiple traumas – being adopted after birth, experiencing a house fire at four, witnessing accidents, enduring boarding school isolation, and dealing with alcoholic parents before finding her mother deceased. What makes her story remarkable isn't just the hardships she endured, but how she discovered that grief had physically shaped her body for nearly twenty years without her conscious awareness.
The breakthrough came when she learned to tap on specific meridian points while expressing difficult emotions, creating an "interrupt" in her nervous system that allowed stored trauma to release. "The tapping causes an interrupt into your nervous system," Ann explains. "You're used to telling a story and feeling these emotions. Your body goes into an automatic response. Tapping interrupts that and allows that energy to release."
For those struggling with their own grief journey, Ann offers both practical techniques and the gentle reminder that healing doesn't require expensive therapies or medications – sometimes the simplest approaches create the most profound transformation. Her story reminds us that our bodies hold not just our pain, but also the keys to our healing.
