Pod #625: Being open to uncomfortable truths

August 21, 2024 By Gene Monterastelli Leave a Comment

One of the most common forms of resistance people encounter when doing any sort of deep transformational work (tapping included) is the fear of what will be uncovered.

The two most common fears are either that there will be an overwhelming number of emotions that will be difficult to handle or that a previously suppressed traumatic memory will surface.

There is another version of this resistance that is less emotional and less dramatic.

That is the fear that you will learn or be reminded of something that you don’t want to hear.

It could be:

  • an uncomfortable truth about your life
  • an action that you need to take but are avoiding because you know it will be hard
  • a toxic relationship that you need to exit
  • a harmful habit that is you need to give up
  • a realization that you failed in the past because you were unwilling to show up for yourself

Nobody wants to deal with these types of truths BUT if we want to create lasting change and transformation in our lives, then we need to face up to these truths and heal our relationship to them.

In the podcast this week I share a simple tapping phase I love that will make it easier to be open to healing and transformation.
