The key to effective tapping/EFT is being able to tune into the issues that need work. There are many ways of doing this. The most common way is to say phases out loud, but sometimes we don’t know what to say. The issue might be too deep, the memory might be too painful, or we just can’t seem to come up with words to describe what is going on.

In this podcast I talk to Marie Holliday about a very simple and elegant way to tap for issues called the photo technique. We talk about how easy it is to do, what issues it is great for, and how you can start using it right away. We talk about how you can use photos, icons, x-rays, and really any image to improve are tapping progress.

Please take the time to learn about this very powerful technique, it is a great tool to add to your tapping/EFT toolbox.

Often when parents come to tapping they are looking for something to fix or change their children. In reality, when we are surrogate tapping for other people we are making a transformation in ourselves that creates space for others to change.

In this interview Carol Tuttle and I talk about how parents can use tapping for their children, themselves, and to transform all the relationships within the family.

There are times when we find ourselves caring for someone who is going through something major, be it a physical or mental issue. We want nothing but the best for our loved one, but we can end up spreading ourselves too thin. We give everything we have to the point that we are harming ourselves.

It is important that when we are caring for others that we take the time to also care for ourselves. If we don’t take care of ourselves we can’t care for others. In this interview I talk to Ron Ball as he shares his personal story of what it is like providing long term care for a loved one and what he learned about taking care of himself during that time.

One of my favorite terms to introduce to clients is “emotional vampire.” If they haven’t heard the word before they normally chuckle knowing exactly what I am talking about. An emotional vampire is someone who sucks us emotionally dry. Sometimes we know it is coming. Other times we are caught completely off guard. They can suck us dry by belittling our dreams, complaining about how the world is against them, or just their general grumpiness can bring us down. We when are aware of emotional vampires we have an opportunity to care for ourselves better.

I’ve noticed a patter in my life that is just like my parents and I can’t seem to tap it away. Is there something special I need to do when dealing with issues that I have picked up from my parents?

I am looking for help with emotions. I have seen and looked at a couple of specific emotions (anger, depression, etc.), but my problem is that mine are completely blocked off…I feel NONE. The root cause is from my father telling me as a child that men do not display emotions (cry or laugh were his actual words) and any time I gave any type of an emotional display I was punished…what I am looking for is some help clearing this block. What can I do?

There are people in my life who seem to always suck me emotionally dry. They either take all my energy or dump all their troubles on me. How do I prevent this from happing?

One more time, what is the deal with psychological reversal and how does it relate to secondary gain?

Much of the time we spend with loved ones food is present. It can be in the form of celebration, gift, or just mealtime with loved ones. Because food is present in so may different aspects of our relationships our relationship to food can get tangled up in our relationship to relationships.

Holidays are very busy emotional times. The last 10 weeks of the year are jam packed with holidays, each with their own special meaning and traditions. Each holiday also has its own color palette. From the oranges of Halloween to the reds and greens of Christmas, these color haven’t happened by accident, but also carry the meaning of the holiday. In this podcast I talk to “The Queen of Color” Catherine Poole about what each color means emotionally and how by being aware of this we can keep our over eating and over spending in check while being open to the love and connection of the holiday.
