Fred Gallo’s book the Tapping Toolbox is very clearly written, easy to read, comprehensive and filled with inspiring examples of healing all at the same time. As the founder of the term ‘Energy Psychology’ Dr. Gallo is a pioneer with his 25 plus years experience in the field. His approach is cutting edge which shows from the depth and breadth of tools he generously shares with the reader. Early in the book he presents the innovative and practical RILATA model that guides his work. Dr. Gallo then thoughtfully and carefully explains and demonstrates with helpful and clear diagrams and stories 3 of the major energy techniques in the field: TFT (Thought Field Therapy) EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) and his own MLT (Midline Line Technique) .The very practical exercises help the reader overcome negative feelings including various kinds of trauma, anxiety, fears, phobias, pain and PTSD. At the same time he shows how important it is to be compassionate and kind with yourself or another person you might be working with.
Dr. Gallo presents a straightforward step by step system for helping the reader release distressing feelings and strengthen positive resourceful ones. Although there are many other books on tapping Gallo’s knowledge and expertise shine through on every page. It is an extraordinary guidebook that could change your life or the life of someone you care about. In addition Dr. Gallo has an optimistic vision of the future of the field of energy therapy as it moves into the mainstream of both psychology and society. Highly recommended. Author: ‘Forgiveness Solution’ and ‘Creating Well-Being’.

The Tapping Toolbox is a toolbox. Along with knowing what method is best for each individual, Dr. Gallo includes specific case studies, which methods were used, and why. He also gives us a “Trouble-Tapping” chapter, which provides insight into adjusting the method to get the best results, including an emphasis on the importance of the relationship and rapport. And then there are chapters on “Transforming Trauma and PTSD”, “From Pain to Gain”, and more. The Tapping Toolbox is a must-read for anyone wanting an easy read that provides an understandable background of Tapping and explains the primary methods and specific protocols for Anxiety, Trauma, Chronic Pain, Depression, and Panic Disorder. ~

After months of searching for a cure of my panic and anxiety disorder after a terrible miscarriage, I came across Fred’s book on Energy Tapping for Trauma. This book was the first one to really understand my pain and suffering from trauma and how trauma gets stuck in the body and how one forgets certain aspects and how to address it energetically. His understanding was also coming from his own history of trauma. After months of working with traditional therapists, medication and acceptance therapy, I still couldn’t get out of this traumatic loop filled with hundreds of triggers. I reached out to him and we had multiple sessions. I also read this book and can clearly say, Dr Fred has vast knowledge of energy psychology, years of experience and establishes a great report with his clients. Not only have I begun to feel relief, many of my memories have become a distant memory of my past. I also love how he transforms dying pain to healing pain! His book is easy to read, easy to understand, we just have to tap in and use the toolbox of methods that is lying inside us!

This book is a champion of the highly beneficial mind-body techniques for self-help and for psychotherapy that supersedes talk therapy. Essentially, this tapping sends a calming signal to the brain which shuts down agitated stress responses and re-establishes emotional and physical balance. Dr. Fred Gallo is a pioneer of these techniques and here is one more of his written masterpieces. Written in simple and understandable language, this book is a guide to teach anyone how to release mental, emotional and physical tensions and even pain.
