EFT tapping script: Quick Self-Compassion Practice

Use this when you notice you've been harder on yourself than you'd be on anyone else.

Tap gently with two fingers, about seven times on each point. Say each phrase out loud or quietly in your head. There's no perfect way to do it.

The tapping round

  1. Side of handI've been pretty hard on myself lately.
  2. Top of headI wouldn't talk to someone I love the way I talk to myself.
  3. EyebrowIt's okay to notice that without judging myself for it.
  4. Side of eyeI can offer myself a little more patience.
  5. Under eyeI'm allowed to make mistakes and still be worthy.
  6. Under noseI can be on my own side right now.
  7. ChinI don't have to earn basic kindness from myself.
  8. CollarboneI'm allowed to speak to myself more gently.
  9. Under armI'm choosing to be a little kinder to myself.
