Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping) is a pseudoscience. It has no benefit beyond placebo or standard psychotherapeutic techniques. Acupoints do not exist. Claims that tapping particular points can "help reduce stress and anxiety" are false. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_Freedom_Techniques

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1714019674176790557
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
