The anxiety hits at 3am. The spiraling thoughts won't stop. You know logically that everything is fine, but your body won't believe it. And the more you try to think your way out of it, the worse it gets.
Jessica Ortner is a bestselling author, co-creator of The Tapping Solution app, and one of the world's leading experts on EFT tapping — a technique that combines ancient acupressure with modern psychology to send a direct safety signal to your nervous system. And in this conversation with Dr. Mindy, she unpacks exactly why perimenopause and menopause create a perfect storm of nervous system dysregulation, and how tapping can interrupt the cycle in minutes — no therapist, no appointment, no special equipment required.
Dr. Mindy's fasting tapping meditations are available in The Tapping Solution app. And Jessica's new book — The Tapping Solution — is available wherever books are sold.
