Choose your “Most Pressing Issue” (MPI) and devise a reminder phrase (see pages 16 and 20). 2. Rate the intensity of your MPI on the 0-to-10 Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDS; see page 18). 3. Craft a setup statement (see page 18). 4. Tap on the karate chop point (see page 21) while repeating your setup statement three times. 5. Tap through the eight points in the EFT sequence (see page 21) while saying your reminder phrase out loud. Tap five to seven times at each point. 6. Once you have finished tapping the eight points in the sequence, take a deep breath. 7. Again rate the intensity of your issue using the 0-to-10 scale to check your progress. 8. Repeat as necessary to get the relief you desire.
