Grief isn’t something you “get over.” It’s a part of life—a natural response to loss that deserves to be honored, not diminished or forgotten. But when grief leaves you mentally foggy and emotionally drained, it can be difficult to show up for the things—and people—that matter most.
That’s where Adaptive Grief Tapping (AGT)™ can help.
This innovative approach isn’t about closure or moving on. It’s about integrating grief into your life in a healthy, meaningful way. By calming your emotional brain and helping you find purpose in your feelings, AGT empowers you to honor your loss while regaining clarity and focus.
In this blog, we’ll take a deeper look at how AGT works, what sets it apart, and how you can begin using it today.
Why Does Grief Leave You Feeling Foggy?
Grief isn’t a single emotion. It’s a storm of sadness, anger, love, regret, and longing—all battling for your attention at once. This emotional overload can short-circuit your brain’s ability to think clearly, leaving you feeling foggy and stuck.
Here’s why:
Emotional Overload: Grief activates your emotional brain (the amygdala), keeping you in a heightened state of stress.
Mental Fatigue: Processing such a wide range of emotions consumes your energy, leaving little for focus or decision-making.
Avoidance Patterns: Without tools to navigate grief constructively, it’s tempting to distract yourself or push feelings aside, which only prolongs the fog.
Adaptive Grief Tapping (AGT)™ provides a pathway to calm your emotional brain and create space for clarity, focus, and meaningful emotional integration.
What Makes Adaptive Grief Tapping™ Different?
You may have heard of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) or EFT Tapping, which involves stimulating acupressure points to calm the emotional brain. On its own, tapping can be a powerful tool for:
Down-regulating emotions: It reduces the intensity of overwhelming feelings.
Creating space for expression: By calming the mind, tapping may open opportunities for emotional release.
Encouraging spontaneous cognitive shifts: In a calmer state, your thoughts may naturally reframe themselves.
While tapping alone offers relief, it doesn’t always guide you toward deeper emotional exploration. In some cases, it may even reinforce avoidance, focusing solely on calming emotions without addressing their meaning.
Adaptive Grief Tapping (AGT)™ stands apart by combining tapping with the Adaptive Emotional Expression Framework™, which:
Helps you feel safe and regulated while processing difficult emotions.
Guides you to explore the meaning and purpose behind your thoughts and feelings.
Encourages productive emotional expression, helping you honor your grief without being overwhelmed by it.
AGT empowers you to carry your grief in a way that feels lighter, more purposeful, and more manageable over time.
How to Use Adaptive Grief Tapping (AGT)™ to Honor Your Loss
In the video, you tried a short tap-along exercise to calm your mind. Here’s how you can take that practice further to integrate grief into your life:
Name What You’re Feeling: Pause and ask yourself, “What emotion is present right now?” Be specific—are you sad, frustrated, or longing?
Tap to Regulate: Use the tapping points introduced in the video (side of the hand, eyebrow, side of the eye, and collarbone) while focusing on the identified emotion. Breathe deeply as you tap.
Reflect on Its Meaning: As you tap, consider these prompts:
“What is this emotion trying to communicate to me?”
“How can I honor this feeling while still moving forward?”
Express Constructively: Write, draw, or talk about what you’ve uncovered. By expressing your feelings intentionally, you can honor them while creating space for clarity and focus.
This practice isn’t about minimizing your grief—it’s about making room for it in a healthy, productive way.
