Occupation CEO of The Tapping Solution

Nick Ortner is the CEO of The Tapping Solution and author of New York Times Best Selling The Tapping Solution: A Revolutionary System for Stress-Free Living (ISBN 1848509332).[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Ortner made a documentary called The Tapping Solution, which inspired five online Tapping World Summits.[4][10][11] Ortner and his Tapping Solution team have raised over $250,000 for tapping-related charities such as ProjectLight: Rwanda, The Veterans Stress Project, and You Can Thrive!.[11] Ortner and his wife, Brenna, live in Newtown, Connecticut.

Psychologist Roger Callahan discovered tapping in the early 1980s, and Gary Craig’s EFT Handbook popularized the movement.[4][8][10][12] It is a combination of ancient Chinese acupressure and claims to be derived from modern psychology, although there is no scientific proof of this claim.[3][7][8][9][10][13][14][15][16] It is said to be useful in relieving such conditions as migraines, fibromyalgia, phobias, body aches and posttraumatic stress disorder.[3][5][7][8][14][15][17] EFT involves tapping on meridians while repeating a phrase that relates to the issue the tapper wants resolved.[8][12] The repeating phrase identifies the MPI, or most pressing issue.[5][10] Ortner claims that while tapping on these meridians, “we send a calming signal to the amygdala (the fight-or-flight center) in the brain,” telling the brain that the threatening situation isn’t threatening.[8][9][10] While the American Psychological Association (APA) does not advocate its use, it has begun granting continuing education credits for psychologists to study tapping.[3][4]

Ortner brought tapping methods to the survivors of the Sandy Hook tragedy, hoping to heal the community of Newtown, Connecticut after the school murders.[5]
