Anger is a part of all our lives. If we’re really fortunate, we may not have a lot of people around us that make us mad. If we’re less fortunate, we may find that every day is a test for us, and that we spend an awful lot of time trying to stay calm in the face of irritations, aggravations and stressors.

I was married to a man for 12 years that didn’t think anything I did was right. He infuriated me by nit picking about every detail of our lives. If I went to the trouble of baking a cake for him, it was too dry. If I cooked a nice dinner, the food wasn’t hot enough. If I dusted all the furniture, I missed a few spots. You get the general idea.

I have long since divorced that jerk, and thereby bought a lot more serenity into my life. At the time that I was married to him, EFT didn’t yet exist, else I might have found serenity a lot sooner.

If you have someone in your life that seems to be constantly making you mad, whether it’s a spouse, a child, a parent, a neighbor or a coworker, EFT is the perfect way to deal with that anger. It works quickly and easily and leaves you feeling relaxed and at ease, once the anger has drained out of your body.

Two or three rounds of tapping can make a profound difference in you attitude, and can allow you to much more easily make it through the day.

Below is a sample tapping script for anger at your spouse, but the words can easily be changed to better suit your specific needs. Give it a try, and let that anger go right now with EFT!

Tapping Script For Anger at a Spouse

Karate chop:

  • Even though I feel a lot of anger at my husband/wife, and I feel like he/she makes my life much more difficult than it needs to be, I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself.
  • Even though I’m really mad at my husband/wife for being _______ (demanding, unreasonable, argumentative, etc.) and that anger makes my whole body feel as tight as an overstretched rubber band, I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself.
  • Even though I feel like I’m angry at my husband/wife all of the time because of the way he/she acts, I know that the anger is only hurting me, and I’m open to starting to let go of some of that anger, and I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself.
