He shares his personal journey from being an actor to his discovery and professional use of tapping. With host Darian, Brad walks through a tapping technique session, explaining each step, as Darian reciprocates. Their discussion also explores themes around resistance to success, underlying stressors, and the ability of tapping to tap into these subconscious resistances. Brad includes details about resources available for anyone who wishes to explore tapping further.
