Stress is a huge factor in preventing restorative sleep. While there are many ways to de-stress, sometimes you need something that can happen in as little a 5 minutes with lasting effects.

As I searched for such a technique, I remembered learning a little about "tapping" in my previous job, and performing it on myself. I was surprised at how quickly I felt relief, but I couldn't remember the "why" or "how it worked!

I wanted to bring on an expert to talk about it because sometimes you don't have 30 minutes in the day to relieve stress, or your bedtime comes sooner than you expected and you need a quick but effective fix.

Fortunately we have Lauren Wolfe, Host of the Your Zen Friend podcast, to help.

Lauren is honored to work as a Licensed Professional Counselor, EFT Practitioner and Trainer and Podcaster. She has been offering support to children, adolescents and families for over 20 years. Lauren is passionate about helping individuals to decrease symptoms of anxiety and access their inner calm. And tapping, also known as Emotional Freedom Technique, is a way she helps.

Listen to this episode of The Why Behind Your Z's to find out how to tap for stress relief and sleep. And if you want the tapping protocol Lauren mentions, you can email her here.
