Book Review – The Tapping Solution for Weight Loss and Body Confidence

The Tapping Solution for Weight Loss and Body Confidence by Jessica Ortner is so much more than the simple weight loss book I first thought it would be. In her open and relatable way, Jessica walks the reader to the door of your fears and helps you open it and face the barriers that are getting in the way of being at the perfect weight.

Of course, the basis of the book is in teaching the reader to use EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) or Tapping. I was not unfamiliar with Tapping but just like Jessica explains when she tells her story, I had never thought of it as a solution for my struggles with weight. Jessica provides the perfect prompts and scripts to lead the reader through the EFT process. She is thorough and explains the reason the process starts with our negative feelings. Jessica then moves the reader forward to understanding that once the barriers are released, there is nothing that stands in the way of taking the next steps towards losing the weight.

Jessica is an expert at connecting extra weight with the hidden problems that our weight might be protecting us from. She asks the “right questions”. And in the answers that are revealed, our fears are also unearthed and eventually released. The more I read, the more I would think, “Wow! I never thought of that.” But the more I read, it was the big “A-ha”, the pieces that I had been missing. It couldn’t have made more sense.

The Tapping Solution for Weight Loss and Body Confidence leads the reader from a place of frustration to a place of understanding and empowerment. It provides tools and promise. It is masterfully written and gives hope to those who are willing to put in the effort to work the steps. This book is a must read for those who can’t figure out why they have been struggling with weight loss.
