Contents

There may be a number of reasons why you have been attracted to this book.

You might be an introvert who knows clearly that you are one but doesnt know exactly what impact introversion has on your life.

You might be confused as to whether you are an introvert or not.

You might identify a great deal with introverts and believe, like many others in the Western world, that being introverted is something to be ashamed of or embarrassed aboutsomething to fix. Maybe you have even tried to become an extrovert.

You might be living with an introverted family member and would like to learn more about what makes that person tick.

You might have, like many of us, picked up the book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Cant StopTalking, by Susan Cain (2013) and were fascinated and enlightened by it, but now you dont know which direction to go to or what to do with the information.

EFT for Introverts provides valuable information and practical solutions to address, clarify, and resolve all of these issues related to introversion. In this book, you will learn exactly what introversion is, how it is different from extroversion, and the benefits of introversion. You will read cases of people with shyness, loneliness, withdrawal, public speaking panic, and more and how tapping helped them with these difficulties. Above all, this book offers you a way to ease these feelings quickly and begin to enjoy the advantages and gifts of being an introvert.

Heres a very simple way to do EFT for the first time that will give you a sense of what it can do. Its going to take you less than two minutes. Im going to keep it as simple as possible, and Im also going to give you a practical tool to measure whether or not EFT is working for you.

Id like you to think about a memory or something that happened in your past that still bothers you a lot. Pick a memory thats safe to work on, one that you know from past experience wont send you into a tailspin. Pick an event that took five minutes or less to occur, and one that you can label with a title. If it were a movie, what would the movie title be? Keep the title simple because you are going to have to repeat it. Some examples would be: The Day Everyone Stared at Me, That Public Moment, or When I Couldnt Speak.
