That’s totally normal. Follow along anyway. It may be weird for a while, but eventually you’ll relax into it. For me it was weird for a long time. Now it even feels normal to me…

I recommend doing 1 video a day. Two if you feel like it. Consistency beats intensity. So it’s better to do one video a day than batching them all up into one day.

Let’s get clear on what “it doesn’t work for me” usually means, and what’s normal to experience at this early stage. FSAR is a step-by-step process. Each video builds on the previous one, and each module deepens your understanding and ability to work with your anxiety.

The further you go, the more likely you are to notice shifts.

And these shifts are often small at first.

Most people don’t experience dramatic change in the early modules. Instead, they notice subtle things at home: a slight softening, a calmer body, feeling a bit lighter, less tension, an insight, or an issue not feeling quite as intense as before.

These small changes matter, as they set the stage for bigger changes later on.
And lasting relief usually comes from lots of small shifts adding up over time.

It’s also very common not to feel any change in real-life situations after Module 1.

The early modules are designed to prepare your system, build safety, and help you understand what’s happening internally. The deeper tools that create real-world relief come as you move forward.

So an early “nothing happened” does not mean “this won’t work for me.”
It usually means you’re still building the foundation, learning the method, and training your system.

Stay with the process.
Keep going.
The more you progress through the modules, the more the real shifts tend to show up.

That’s expected. I’ve created the first module to be as easy as possible: Hit play and tap along with me. You do not do your own tapping yet, that’ll come later. First the foundations. I’m first properly setting you up for it in these early modules, so it becomes a simple and straightforward later on.

Most people who don’t get much out of tapping fall into one of three situations:

1.  They weren’t targeting the real drivers of their social anxiety.
2.  They were tapping without acceptance
   (judging and suppressing their feelings, beating themselves up).
3.  They were tapping while still stuck in resistance
   (a protective part of the mind saying “nope, not ready to change”).

If these pieces aren’t addressed, results tend to be slow, temporary, or inconsistent. That’s not your fault as most tapping instructions simply don’t teach you how to work through these layers.

FSAR is built specifically for social anxiety, and it teaches the key skills that make tapping effective:

• How to target the right things (Module 3)
• How to create acceptance so your system relaxes (Module 4)
• How to work with resistance so change becomes possible (Module 5)
• How to transform the actual triggers behind your anxiety (Module 6)
• How to gently expand your comfort zone when you’re ready (Module 7)

Social anxiety is your nervous system perceiving threat. That perception can shift, gradually, safely, and in layers.

FSAR gives you a structured way to do that.

Many people with social anxiety feel a lot in real situations but much less when tuning in at home. If you feel an 8 out of 10 in real life but only a 2 or 3 at home, that’s very common. You can tap on whatever intensity you do have access to. Sometimes, as you get into it, the intensity will rise.
And even if it doesn’t, anything you tap on and reduce helps calm your system.

If you don’t feel anything at all when tuning in, it usually means your system has been overwhelmed for a long time. Your subconscious may have learned to dial down emotional sensitivity as protection. It’s a safety response and it can shift over time.

FSAR can still be very helpful.

You’ll understand what’s happening in your system, and you’ll learn simple, effective ways to tap when you do feel something, like before, during, or after a social moment. These are excellent moments to tap, and it’s how I reduced a lot of my own social anxiety.

You’ll also get lots of specific tapping angles that help people reconnect with emotion gradually and safely, and the guided tap-alongs and coaching replays can help your system feel safer over time.

Plus, doing enough tapping over time can help reduce anxiety overall. So simply tap along with each video, use whatever you can feel, and let the process support you as you move forward.

No forced exposures. You do the deepest work from home first.

If you are scared of something, there is a valid reason your system feels that way. Inside FSAR you will learn the ARTX approach, which focuses on reducing the fear internally before you even consider approaching the situation.

As the fear softens, or begins to release, situations that once felt scary can start to feel less overwhelming. At that point, gently having the real-world experience helps your system update and confirms the internal shifts you have made.

This is not “feel the fear and do it anyway.”
We honor the fear, tap on it, and allow the comfort zone to expand naturally and gradually.
