EFT Tapping for an Urge to Binge (+ 9 Gamut Variation)
9 minutes to shift from compulsion into calm
If you’ve ever felt trapped in the tug-of-war of binge urges—fighting with your own mind and body—this practice is for you.
In this 9-minute guided video, Dr. Kristina leads you through an EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) tapping sequence designed specifically for binge urges. You’ll tap along with her on classic acupressure points (karate chop, eyebrow, side of the eye, under the eye, under the nose, chin, collarbone, under the arm, top of the head) while naming the urge out loud.
You’ll also learn the 9 Gamut Variation—a quirky but powerful add-on that engages both sides of the brain through eye movements, humming, and counting. This technique can feel like a “reset button” for your nervous system, helping you break out of the trance of compulsion.
🌿 What you’ll experience:
Regulation in real time
tap through urges instead of trying to willpower your way past them
Relief from autopilot
disrupt the binge cycle with a body-based practice you can do anywhere
Emotional validation without shame
accept what you feel while gently redirecting your nervous system
Brain integration through novelty
the 9 gamut sequence helps shift stuck patterns and grow new neural pathways
🌀 Why it works:
Nervous system regulation
tapping lowers stress response, reducing the “charge” behind the urge
Interrupting compulsive loops
your body gets something to do other than binge
Grounding through novelty
the unusual 9 gamut movements break the binge trance and bring you back to the present
Rewiring your brain
each time you ride out an urge, the new recovery pathways grow stronger
Think of it as a mind-body reset button. In less than 10 minutes, you’ll go from battling with yourself to feeling calmer, more grounded, and better able to choose recovery-aligned actions.
