Following the tragedy in Enoch, UT, we worked with many businesses and nonprofit organizations to hand out Bi-Tapp kits to those in need. This included: Law Enforcement Officers, classrooms, individual students, teachers, neighbors and close friends of the family who were struggling with the impact of this tragedy. Bi-Tapp is a real time resource being used by all ages. When your stress/anxiety level is a 6 or higher (scale of 0-10), it becomes difficult, if not impossible to remember what to do to calm down. The tappers do the tapping for you, helping your calm down automatically. #regulationresource #bilateraltapping #anxietyrelief #traumarecovery
