Determine a SUDS level.

When applying meridian taping, using the Quick Tap, especially for the first few sessions. Establish a subjective evaluation of the intensity of the problem. This is what is known as the Subjective Units of Distress (SUDS). Estimate the intensity on a scale of one (no distress) to ten (maximum/intolerable distress).

This estimation is done by you. There is no reference to a standard or using some measuring equipment.This is a subjective measurement. Therefore, the result of the measurement is called Subjective Units of Distress (SUDS).
What is really important in the SUDS estimation is not accuracy, but re-evaluating after applying the techniques. For example, estimating the intensity at 7 while it would be more accurate to put it at 6 or 5 is not at all a problem.The difference between before and after that counts.
