Today I sat down with Amy Vincze of Soar With Tapping and had an enlightening and somewhat controversial conversation. Amy, a certified Emotional Freedom Release (EFT) practitioner or "tapping coach," holds a strong belief that depression doesn't just appear out of nowhere—it's often the result of our earliest experiences and the vital emotions we've pushed away to survive.

She believes that if we connect to deep feelings, such as anger, through tapping we can let go of those thoughts and emotions in away that brings us better mental and physical health. Amy shares a personal story of being abandoned by her father and falling into performative and perfectionistic behaviors. By adulthood Amy had completely lost touch with her authentic self and suffered from bulimia and was diagnosed with breast cancer.
And Amy's idea about how breast cancer emerged in her life is a little controversial for those who adhere strictly to Western Medicine. Amy believes that negative stored up emotions since childhood manifested as breast cancer. And she believes that tapping work will prevent illness, both mental and physical.
Throughout our conversation, Amy demonstrates how tapping works through a powerful combination of meridian stimulation, cognitive processing, and somatic experience. She explains how tapping counterintuitively leans into difficult emotions like anger, creating a safe container for their expression and release. Our real-time tapping session on embracing anger shows how acknowledging these shadow emotions frees us from their grip rather than making them worse.
