Pod #690: The key to tapping success is more than the right words

February 26, 2026 by Gene Monterastelli

When most of us first learned tapping we were taught to be “as specific as possible” when coming up with tapping phrases. This is sound advice, which is backed up by scientific research.

But your success with tapping relies on more than just the words you say and what you focus on when you are tapping. How you feel in the moment has just as much impact on your tapping success.

And when I say “how you feel” I don't mean the emotions you are feeling in the moment that you are tapping on. Rather, I am referring to every part of your resource state.

Your resource state includes whether you are tired or rested, if you are sick, if you are in a quiet place where you can focus, if you are well hydrated, and when you last ate, to name just a few.

It is something that most tappers miss and failing to take your resource state into account when you are tapping could be setting you up for disappointment and frustration.

This week in the podcast we explore:

  • How to assess your resource before you start to tap
  • How to create realistic expectations for your tapping
  • How to improve your resource state in the moment so you can get more out of your tapping

Once you understand how your resource state impacts your tapping, it will be easy for you to transform both your expectations and your resource state.

Pod #689: When your expectations sabotage your tapping progress

February 19, 2026 by Gene Monterastelli

One of the most powerful tools in the healing and transformational tool box is having clear goals.

This is true in big picture ways, such as what I would like to achieve this year, and small picture ways, such as what I would like to get out of this next round of tapping.

I believe in this idea so deeply that in my Tapping Mastery Blueprint I teach the first thing you should do before starting to tap is to ask yourself the question “What is the goal of this round of tapping?”

Although goals are powerful, sometimes they can get in the way of your healing and transformation. This happens when your goals are too big for the moment. Too much pressure and expectation can become measuring sticks for failing, killing off your motivation.

This week in the podcast I share:

  • How goals and expectations can hinder our progress
  • How to spot when this is happening to you
  • How to tap to release feelings of frustration and failure

This is not about radically transforming your tapping goals, but how to recalibrate them in such a way that you tap more and get more out of each round of tapping.

Tapping to not feel your emotions – and why that can be a good thing (Pod #688)

February 12, 2026 by Gene Monterastelli

One of the concepts I talk about daily with my clients and students is that the goal of tapping is a proportionate, well-informed emotional response.

In most cases, this is a process of giving the emotions space to be heard and understood. Once we know where the emotional response is coming from, we create the space for us to heal, transform, and create a proportionate, well-informed emotional response.

One of the reasons we love tapping is because it is so good at helping us to do exactly that.

With that being said, I believe that sometimes it is best for us to not feel our emotions.

I know that might sound like a contradiction.

This week in the podcast, I explore when it can be healthy and useful to tap in a way where we are putting a lid on our emotions (for now) rather than clearing them.

Even if you are skeptical about this idea, I encourage you to give this tapping a try and then decide if it is a good fit for your healing journey.
