One of the reasons I love tapping so much is that it can be used for so many types of issues. It can be used to:
- Provide emotional first aid
- Break down a limiting belief
- Heal a past memory
- Manage pain
- Clear a substance sensitivity
For me, it is super important to know why I am tapping in each given moment. Am I simply trying to calm myself when I feel overwhelmed so I can take action OR am I dealing with emotional resistance to taking action because I fear failing at my next task?
When I know what I am trying to accomplish, it makes it easier for me to stay on track so I can better evaluate my progress to see if I need to keep tapping on the issue.
Over the last few months, I have come to realize there are two different types of tapping issues that I had conflated into a single issue. I was approaching how I feel in a moment and what state I am in as if they are the same thing.
These are two distinct areas to tap for, with each having a different approach and different goals from the tapping itself.
In this week’s podcast, I break down the difference between tapping for an emotion versus tapping to change your state, when you should be tapping for each, and how to tap to change your state.

Something beyond my thinking mind gets that the distinction between feeling and state is really important. I hope you address this topic again!!!!
