This can be good when we it encourages us to think about what we want and how it will improve our lives. This can be destructive when we start beating ourselves up over what our life looks like because we have "created" it. In my mind it isn't this black and white. Join me as well look at the difference between creating and being responsible.]]> http://tappingqanda.com/2011/11/create-v-responsible/feed/ 12 http://tappingqanda.com/2011/08/keeping-the-long-view/ http://tappingqanda.com/2011/08/keeping-the-long-view/#comments Sat, 06 Aug 2011 10:00:13 +0000 Gene Monterastelli http://tappingqanda.com/?p=1201 It is very easy to miss the progress we are making because we only notice the emotions we are feeling right now.

Jane really knows Emotional Freedom Techniques(EFT)/Tapping. I said to her, “I have a radical suggestion for you. And you don’t need to do it. But it is a thought. I think you need to surrogately tap for both of them!” Her response was a loooong pause, followed by, “OK, I’m listening.

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 common questions I get about tapping (EvEFT/EFT) is "What do I do when I don't know what memories from the past are effecting my behavior or emotions today?" In this interview I talk to Rob Sherwin about a very cool protocol call Solution Focused Brief Therapy. In this protocol you don't have to worry about why you are the way you are, but instead it focuses on how to move to what you want. Personally, I find this to be a great approach because even when I don't know why things are the way they are I am going to know where I want to be or who I want to be. In this interview Rod lays out the basic steps of SFBT that can easily be added to any tapping routine.

Have you ever wondered what an Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/EvEFT) practitioner is thinking during a session and on what basis they decide what to do next? In this interview with Michele Price I give some insight into my thought process and the fundamental principles about healing that guide me. We talk about my 5 of my fundamental dispositions of healing and do some tapping. These are principles that shape the way I understand the world and healing.
