I receive questions all the time about how one can tap to change someone else. There are some very specific implementations of surrogate tapping (like the work I do with autistic children). But it is not as simple as tapping to change the choices of someone else. We can’t tap to change someone else free will, but we can tap to create an environment where we give others a chance to make new and different choices. In this podcast I explain 3 ways in which we can take to help others to make different choices by working on our own emotions, make others feel loved and save, and by not bring our issues to the table.

One of the most often used terms and at the same time most misunderstood term used by people in the tapping community is “psychological reversal”. In this interview, in easy to understand language, Gwenn Bonnell describes what PR is, what is symptoms are, and many techniques for clearing it.

Writing a description of an interview with Rick Wilkes is always a difficult task. On the surface there is the topic at hand for the interview, but when we are chatting things move more much far afield into deep issues of healing and well-being than just the topic at hand. In this interview we talk about the spectrum from feeling completely and irrationally unsafe to complete and total inanition. Anytime there is resistance to change it is really important to ask “Do we feel safe making this change?” In the interview we talk about a number of ways of framing this question to make is more accessible for every issue. In addition to talk about extreme fears and uncomfortable situation we talk about finding space that is safe to heal and what true healing means. This is not just about eliminating fear, but being in a space of feeling alive in every way.

One of the most difficult parts of tapping is trying to figure out what the root cause is the current emotions we are feeling. There are times when we have a guess of a past event might be that is associated with what is going on, but many times even when we have a guess we are not certain it is the right issue to work on. In this podcast Tania A. Prince explains part of the process she calls Deep State RePatterning which gives us access to information about a past event. Not only does the process give us access into the subconscious mind to find information it also allows us to do this safely and gives us an opportunity to do transformation work with that information.

This is one of my favorite processes. I teach it in my advanced class as an example of both guided imagery and parts work. I do this process at least one a week myself. The first time I did it I was amazed at the information my system gave me. In this version of it Jessica of the Tapping Insiders Club ask me a few questions about the process and then you can just tap right along with it.

One of the most common uses of tapping is weight release and craving control. In this interview Pat talks about the basic steps we need to take to be success in weight release. After giving this overview Pat talks emotional eating and then talks in very specific term about the mindless eating we do and how we can use tapping to deal with the craving eating and the habitual eat (e.g. eating every time we watch tv).

Pamela shares some of the lessons she learned co-editing the book “EFT and Beyond”

We spend as much as 1/2 of our waking hours at work, thinking about work, or commuting. In this podcast I talk to Lynne Shaner about why it is so important to deal with work related stress. We talk about a whole ranges of topics when it comes to work related stress and the very easy ways in which we can use tapping to deal with work related stress not only at work but also at home after the work day.

In a previous article I talked about Process Instruction as a way of finding root issues and resources for transformation. I received a number of questions about the article. The concept itself is a little esoteric and as a technique it is far less straightforward in comparison to many of the other tools featured on this site.

In the podcast I share part of a client session around the issue of quitting smoking. Even if you are not a smoker you are going to find this very helpful and informative. This session provides a number of very clear examples of how we can bridge from a physiological feel (in this case the desire to smoke a cigarette) to thoughts and memories from the past.
