Summary


In this episode, I interview Sofia Torrini. She's a certified clinical EFT practitioner, who shares her transformative journey from a high-stress corporate career to healing through Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). Sofia discusses the mind-body connection, the role of emotions in health, and how panic attacks can be managed through awareness and techniques like tapping and breathwork. She emphasizes the importance of acknowledging emotions and understanding how early life experiences shape our emotional patterns. The conversation highlights the subconscious mind's role in storing beliefs and emotions, ultimately guiding listeners towards a path of healing and self-discovery. In this conversation, we explore the intricate relationship between emotions, beliefs, and healing. We discuss the concept of 'hacking reality' through emotional release and the importance of creating new neural pathways to foster personal growth.
