“Her mother used to be a scriptwriter on EastEnders and is now a healer who helps Harris overcome performance nerves. ‘She does EFT, emotional freedom technique, about releasing childhood traumas impacting on your life through a process of tapping along your meridian points.’

Thanks to her mother, she was able to trace her nerves about having to give a speech back to being 17 and at school. “I had to give a speech in a sociology class and it went really badly. I had done so much research, I got overwhelmed and froze. I felt really awful… But we tapped through that and it has made me much more confident.”

“Any time we need to step up and “perform” in public (like speaking, acting, singing, dancing), an amount of anxiety tends to arise that seems inappropriate for the occasion. When we step out of our comfort zone, magic happens, and magic is not being perfect but having fun. EFT can be magic’s little helper.”

“If I’m writing a new kind of article or attempting a fictional innovation, I will sense, if I’m observant, distinct danger signals. The subconscious mind doesn’t want to get us into trouble.
