You might choose to rant and swear and use your own words in this tap. I encourage you to use whatever language feels right for you. I’m focusing on some common emotions of anger, frustration and worry, but you go with whatever feels right for you.’A note from Jennifer and McCanna Coaching Ltd: I invite you to tap along to the videos alongside these episodes whilst taking full responsibility for your health and wellbeing.

If you are concerned about your physical or mental health please consult a qualified medical professional.
