Q: I am undergoing my therapy for anxiety, fears and phobias, guilt and other issues here in Pakistan with a trained muslim psychotherapist. He recently prescribed Me doing EFT tapping to control my anxiety and issues. I did it for few days and felt better and more in control over anxiety and low mood that was disturbing me.
He has asked me to just form a short problem statement and a simple affirmation in which there is nothing unethical, unislamic or anything which could be shirk. And while repeating these statements you tap on 9 meridian points.
I wanted to ask you if it is okay for me to continue this self help technique to feel better and have focus on positive things.
A: If it is just a permissible healing process then it is permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
