Pod #28: It’s Not Surrogate But It Helps Others To Make Different Choices

February 26, 2010 by Gene Monterastelli

I often receive questions about how to tap in order to change someone else’s behavior. There are some very specific implementations of surrogate Emotional Freedom Techniques(EFT)/tapping, such as in the work I do with autistic children and their parents. But it is not as simple as tapping to change other people’s choices. We can't tap to change someone else’s free will, but we can tap to create an environment where others have a chance to make new and better choices. In this podcast I explain three ways in which we can help others to make different choices: by working on our own emotions, making others feel loved and safe, and by not bringing our own issues to the table.

    This reminds of a phrase which the late Jim Rohn used to repeat over and over again : FOR THINGS TO CHANGE YOU HAVE TO CHANGE !

    We often tend to think OTHERS have to change first. I love the idea of tapping that topic.
