I am not a doctor and I never give any medical advice, but I think there is a lot that we as practitioners can learn from the Hippocratic Oath.]]></description>

At one point in the interview Jared said, "I don't believe there is such thing as an emotional decision."   After a brief discussion I agreed with him.  Below is a longer explanation than what we got into in the interview of why I think he is right and how we can use this point of view to improve our tapping.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As wonderful as one-minute/one-session miracles are I think as a Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)/tapping community we are doing ourselves a disservice in the ways we talk about these one-minute miracles.  I am not saying that there is no room for us to talk about these very real healing experiences, but I think we can get lost in our own enthusiasm and run potential tappers over. (I know I have!)   Here are three of the problems I think we have created for ourselves.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think the way we end a tapping session is just as important as the way we begin it.  For me the end of the session is more than a signing off process, but it is the next step in healing.  When we tap it is not a healing moment, but instead part of a healing process that is going to continue through out the day and through out our life.

I like to spend time at the end of a session (especially an emotional one) setting up the system to continue the work thought the day.  The end of my sessions often looks like this:]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Giving stuff a way for free can be a tricky thing to do as a practitioner.  On one hand it feels like a good idea because we are exposing potential clients to our products and services.  On the other hand we can worry that if we give too much away  potential clients are only going to take the free things and never buy.

Giving products and services away for free is a very key part of my business and marketing plan, but it needs to be more than "give it away and hope."  Every time we are giving something away for free (products, services, or our time) we need to be doing for a very specific reason.  We need to be giving away for free with a plan.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As time passes I am working more and more with clients around practice building.  There is a real feeling of "try it on everything" in the Emotional Freedom Techniques(EFT)/tapping community, but as we move from helping our friends with head aches and craving for chocolate on to working with clients we need more than just a willing spirit.  In this interview EFT Master Carol Look speaks very frankly about two keys to keep in mind when you starting a practice.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most of us who have private practices or what private practices want to spend time helping our clients.  We don't want to spend time marketing.  Not because we don't think marketing is important, but because we aren't very good at it or even worse it is scary.  In this podcast I talk to Pamela Bruner and we discover that not only do you need to be marketing for your own sake, but for your clients sake.  We talk about the unique challenges that transformational entrepreneurs have in marketing their products and services.  This is a must listen to if you have a practice or would one day like one]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the characteristics of a strong emotional response is the fact that IT holds our attention to that response. This can become problematic when it comes to understanding the healing process we are going through. We do ourselves a disservice when we don’t recognize the progress we are making, and this can affect our future healing. ]]></description>
