If you're talking about tapping the body, the point of it is to try to bring you back into the present and into your body as often times when you're anxious or stressed you're in your head and it tends to just continue to go out of control as there isn't a particular limit to what you think about.
As with every other technique out there, it's not necessarily going to work for everybody, if it doesn't work for you, that's fine, there's plenty of other options. I'm a fan of holding my breath until it starts to become a bit uncomfortable and then breathing out and doing it again. You don't need to do it long enough to get out of breath, but it tends to help to stimulate the vagus nerve.
