Episode #29 Tapping With Dr Melissa Hankins

Melissa Hankins, M.D. is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist, certified executive coach, and EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) practitioner. After transitioning from doing clinical wok, Dr Hankins now coaches physicians and other healthcare professionals in the area of burnout, particularly as it relates to perfectionism and imposter syndrome.

Dr. Hankins’ desire to help support other physicians and healthcare professionals arose from her own experience of burnout while working to juggle the demands of a very busy psychiatric clinic, various committee and board appointments, and a growing family. It was through the use of coaching and especially her discovery of EFT (or, “tapping,” as it is often referred to), that helped Dr Hankins to overcome her own burnout.

EFT tapping is a mind-body-energy technique that combines cognitive processing along with tapping on acupressure points in such a way that BOTH conscious and subconscious thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors can be easily, quickly, and very effectively transformed, creating positive changes in any number of areas of a person’s professional and/or personal life. Among other things, EFT allowed Dr Hankins to recognize and understand the role her lifelong “need to be perfect”-- both professionally and personally--played in her own journey to burnout, and helped her to release that need, allowing her to create a work and personal life that was more authentic to who she truly is and desires to be. As a result of her experience and her strong desire to help her physician colleagues, Dr. Hankins decided to become trained and certified as a coach and EFT practitioner, so that she could bring those skills and valuable tools to other professionals in the healthcare community.
