When I approached my friend and fellow practitioner Rob Sherwin about what topic he wanted to talk about in a podcast interview he recommended a conversation about self-compassion. At the time of the interview I was completely unfamiliar with the word. Self-compassion is in stark contrast to self-esteem. It is very much about seeing yourself the same way you see others. Often we are able to understand when others fail and we are supportive, but when we fail we are very hard on ourselves. Self-compassion is about be able to extend that say time of love and understanding towards ourselves.

In this interview we talk more in-depth about what self-compassion is and practical ways in which we can incorporate it into our daily lives and our daily tapping.

I think being selfish gets are really bad rap. Most people think that being selfish is bad. We are taught we must not be selfish, but instead we must be giving. I personally don’t believe these things are opposite.

I know I would like to have deeper loving relationships in my life, but for some reason I keep self-sabotaging. Is there a reason I might be doing this and is there a way to us tapping to deal with it?

Gary Craig and many other practitioners use the phrase “I love and accept myself” sometimes adding “deeply and completely” in their set-up phrases. I don’t know about you, but I’ve come in contact with quite a few people that have a real aversion to this statement. Seems to me, that if we loved and accepted ourselves, most of our ‘problems’ would not exist in the first place. Do we need to use this phrase while tapping?

There are times when we feel like we have messed up to the point that not only have we let ourselves down, but we have also let God down. In these times I have found Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/EvEFT) a very helpful tool.

I love EFT and use it a lot. It’s been very helpful with small emotional issues and simple physical pains. But when it comes to bigger issues I have a concern. I’m afraid that if I change the person I am I will hurt the people I love. Do you have any advice?

I am dealing with homework issues and tantrums with my 8 year-old daughter. Parenting her really takes all my energy. It seems I spend more time battling with her than enjoying her. How can I approach this issue?
