They can bring us great joy and great frustration (and even both at that exact same time). Even though each relationship is a new and different experience we can find ourselves falling in to the same patterns. Some patterns repeat themselves from relationship to relationship. Other patterns keep repeating themselves over and over again inside of the current relationship. In this interview with Alina Frank we talk about how we can identify these patters and how they were created. We also spend time looking at how we can use tapping/EFT to clear the negative patterns in our current relationships and clear the patterns of having the same type of negative relationship experience again and again. ]]> http://tappingqanda.com/2012/02/pod-72-strengthening-romantic-relationships-with-tappingeft-w-alina-frank/feed/ 0 http://tappingqanda.com/2011/12/tapalong-25a-please-see-how-much-i-am-putting-myself-last/ http://tappingqanda.com/2011/12/tapalong-25a-please-see-how-much-i-am-putting-myself-last/#comments Mon, 19 Dec 2011 11:00:39 +0000 Gene Monterastelli http://tappingqanda.com/?p=5578 Sometimes we can spend so much time and energy taking care of others that we can lose ourselves in the effort. When can get to the place where our identity gets wrapped up in taking care of others. This can be a dangerous way to define ourselves. Here is a short tap along audio to help you see yourself for who you are, not for what you do for others.]]> http://tappingqanda.com/2011/12/tapalong-25a-please-see-how-much-i-am-putting-myself-last/feed/ 0 http://tappingqanda.com/2011/12/tapalong-24a-worthy-of-love/ http://tappingqanda.com/2011/12/tapalong-24a-worthy-of-love/#comments Mon, 12 Dec 2011 11:00:12 +0000 Gene Monterastelli http://tappingqanda.com/?p=5417 One of the hardest phrases for my clients to say is, "I love and accept myself." (And it can be really hard from me sometimes as well.) There is a feeling of skin crawling that goes along with that phrase. Being able to love our selves is at the heart of healing and transformation. When we love ourselves we are able to be easy with our selves and be easy with the process of healing. ]]> http://tappingqanda.com/2011/12/tapalong-24a-worthy-of-love/feed/ 0 http://tappingqanda.com/2011/12/tap-along-you-are-worth-a-bettereasier-life/ http://tappingqanda.com/2011/12/tap-along-you-are-worth-a-bettereasier-life/#comments Mon, 05 Dec 2011 11:00:19 +0000 Gene Monterastelli http://tappingqanda.com/?p=5416 Often times we don't feel comfortable making our own life easier. We think: Others have it so hard. We should have to work for a good life. It is only worth something if we struggle for it. I have wasted good chances before I would I get easy now? When we are able to recognize that we are worthy of a better life then we can move to a place where we can start working towards a better life. As long as we think it is something we are not worthy of then we are never going to move forward. ]]> http://tappingqanda.com/2011/12/tap-along-you-are-worth-a-bettereasier-life/feed/ 2 http://tappingqanda.com/2011/11/tapalong-unconditional-love/ http://tappingqanda.com/2011/11/tapalong-unconditional-love/#comments Mon, 28 Nov 2011 08:03:17 +0000 Gene Monterastelli http://tappingqanda.com/?p=5415 It is fun to watch people intact with a new born. Once they get over their fear of dropping the child everyone just lights up. For some reason we are able to see the goodness in the innocents of the child and we can offer unconditional love very easily. The idea for this TapAlong can to me while I was doing an interview Brad Yates. Right after I idea hit me I shared it with Brad and he said that he had done the exact thing with his clients before. Here is a great little TapAlong that I hope will help you to experience unconditional love. ]]> http://tappingqanda.com/2011/11/tapalong-unconditional-love/feed/ 1 http://tappingqanda.com/2011/10/deserve-v-worthy/ http://tappingqanda.com/2011/10/deserve-v-worthy/#comments Wed, 12 Oct 2011 12:00:27 +0000 Gene Monterastelli http://tappingqanda.com/?p=1726 One of the phrases I hear frequently from clients is "I don't deserve..." When we believe we don't deserve something then we are going to prevent ourselves from getting it. It doesn't matter if it is a better job, a loving relationship, or better health. If we don't feel we deserve it then we aren't going to move forward. In this reflection we look at how changing the way we understand the word "deserve" can change the way we heal. ]]> http://tappingqanda.com/2011/10/deserve-v-worthy/feed/ 5 http://tappingqanda.com/2011/08/being-able-to-love-unconditionally-tapalong-5/ http://tappingqanda.com/2011/08/being-able-to-love-unconditionally-tapalong-5/#comments Mon, 01 Aug 2011 09:15:29 +0000 Gene Monterastelli http://tappingqanda.com/?p=3482 http://tappingqanda.com/2011/08/being-able-to-love-unconditionally-tapalong-5/feed/ 2 http://tappingqanda.com/2011/07/self-love-with-brad-yates/ http://tappingqanda.com/2011/07/self-love-with-brad-yates/#comments Sat, 02 Jul 2011 10:00:28 +0000 Gene Monterastelli http://tappingqanda.com/?p=5493 Doing this interview was particularly special to me. My guest Brad Yates was the person who first introduced me to Tapping/EFT. In this spirited conversation we talk about the importance of self-love, the obstacles to loving ourself, and what we can do with tapping to improve our view of ourselves. I know we talk a lot about self love and self acceptance when it comes to tapping. It is right there in the set up phrase, "I love and accept myself." Even with that being the case it is still one of the issues for my clients (and to be honest for myself) that we struggle with most and it is the topic we are least likely to tap for. ]]> http://tappingqanda.com/2011/07/self-love-with-brad-yates/feed/ 2 http://tappingqanda.com/2011/02/new-weekly-tap-along-audios-free-bonus-pod/ http://tappingqanda.com/2011/02/new-weekly-tap-along-audios-free-bonus-pod/#comments Sat, 05 Feb 2011 11:28:27 +0000 Gene Monterastelli http://tappingqanda.com/?p=3493 http://tappingqanda.com/2011/02/new-weekly-tap-along-audios-free-bonus-pod/feed/ 0 http://tappingqanda.com/2011/02/self-compassion-w-rod-sherwin-pod-52/ http://tappingqanda.com/2011/02/self-compassion-w-rod-sherwin-pod-52/#comments Wed, 02 Feb 2011 16:00:28 +0000 Gene Monterastelli http://tappingqanda.com/?p=3670 http://tappingqanda.com/2011/02/self-compassion-w-rod-sherwin-pod-52/feed/ 6 http://tappingqanda.com/2010/06/why-it-is-good-to-be-selfish/ http://tappingqanda.com/2010/06/why-it-is-good-to-be-selfish/#comments Mon, 28 Jun 2010 07:00:11 +0000 Gene Monterastelli http://tappingqanda.com/?p=2348 http://tappingqanda.com/2010/06/why-it-is-good-to-be-selfish/feed/ 1 http://tappingqanda.com/2010/04/fear-of-loving-and-being-loved/ http://tappingqanda.com/2010/04/fear-of-loving-and-being-loved/#comments Thu, 01 Apr 2010 13:00:46 +0000 Guest Author http://tappingqanda.com/?p=2131 http://tappingqanda.com/2010/04/fear-of-loving-and-being-loved/feed/ 5 http://tappingqanda.com/2010/01/what-if-i-dont-completely-love-and-accept-myself/ http://tappingqanda.com/2010/01/what-if-i-dont-completely-love-and-accept-myself/#comments Tue, 12 Jan 2010 13:00:03 +0000 Gene Monterastelli http://tappingqanda.com/?p=1945 http://tappingqanda.com/2010/01/what-if-i-dont-completely-love-and-accept-myself/feed/ 5 http://tappingqanda.com/2009/03/gods-love/ http://tappingqanda.com/2009/03/gods-love/#comments Thu, 05 Mar 2009 02:44:55 +0000 Gene Monterastelli http://www.tappingqanda.com/?p=441 http://tappingqanda.com/2009/03/gods-love/feed/ 2 http://tappingqanda.com/2009/02/when-our-change-affects-others/ http://tappingqanda.com/2009/02/when-our-change-affects-others/#comments Thu, 05 Feb 2009 23:39:54 +0000 Gene Monterastelli http://www.tappingqanda.com/?p=430 http://tappingqanda.com/2009/02/when-our-change-affects-others/feed/ 0 http://tappingqanda.com/2009/01/one-issue-that-is-really-three-or-four-issues/ http://tappingqanda.com/2009/01/one-issue-that-is-really-three-or-four-issues/#comments Thu, 22 Jan 2009 23:33:12 +0000 Gene Monterastelli http://www.tappingqanda.com/?p=422 http://tappingqanda.com/2009/01/one-issue-that-is-really-three-or-four-issues/feed/ 1
