The amygdala, an almond-shaped brain region, triggers the body's fight, flight, freeze, and other stress responses, which disrupts logical thinking and emotional processing; EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) works by calming this stress response, which reduces cortisol levels and restores cognitive function, allowing individuals to see situations from different perspectives and release emotional blockages.

When your nervous system is in fight, flight, freeze, or full-blown “absolutely not” mode…Added:
We're tapping these points while we're speaking about the issue. Meanwhile, a signal is going directly to the amygdala, that little almond-shaped part of the brain that is where fight, flight, freeze, flee, flop, [ __ ] all those things are happening that mess everything up. So, we get to calm that down really quickly, really effectively.
And that also begins to bring our stress hormones, our cortisol, down. And [music] as we do that, logic, rationality, all of those things are restored, and our ability to see things from a different perspective, to feel things differently, and to allow those blockages to dissipate, and the emotions to come up and out. It's amazing.
