In one part of our brain there are specialized neural cells, called
mirror neurons, constantly mirroring the actions, movements and
possible intentions of animals and people around us. This is believed
to be part of what makes empathy possible, but also a part of how we
can internalize other people’s traumatic experiences when we are
around them, with the risk of acquiring secondary, or vicarious
trauma. To avoid the kind of secondary trauma that can be
transferred when you are working with traumatized people we use
Trauma Tapping on each other and ourselves on a regular basis.
Positive Tapping
One way of protecting yourself is to tap on positive feelings to
reinforce them. This is very simple: Anytime you experience a good
feeling you simply do the tapping procedure and allow yourself to
integrate the power of this good feeling.
