Dear Crystal,

From what I am aware of, below are some of the techniques used for emotional issues.

1. EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique or Tapping (the one that you mentioned)
2. Bach Flower Remedies
3. The Release Technique
4. The Sedona Method

“..all these techniques are planned vs being able to release when I’m triggered..”
All of these can be used at the time when you are triggered. You may also require using a combination of these techniques. For example, you may take the Bach remedies say three times of the day and still be doing any of the other techniques. On the other hand EFT doesn’t seem to be comfortably done in public (in case you are triggered when in public), but in that case The Release Technique or the Sedona Method will be of help and in another situation when you are in public you may still grab a Bach remedy from your purse or your office drawer and use it.

I will suggest you to go through the details of each of these and pick the one(s) that resonate(s) with you the most depending on the type, intensity of the issues you are facing related to your situation and your day to day lifestyle.

Please let me know if you need to know any information/resources on any of these.

Take care,
VJ
