Pod #533: The difference between need, desire, and preference AND why it is important in transformational work

June 1, 2022 By Gene Monterastelli 2 Comments

One of the concepts from my NLP training that has stayed with me is the idea that we don’t emotionally respond to how the world is, but instead to how we describe the world.

An example I often use is of someone saying “Everyone at work hates me!” It is possible that everyone at work might hate the person making that claim, but it is unlikely to be everyone.

BUT if that is how work is described, then the person saying this will walk into their office with their guard up, fearing every interaction with their co-workers.

In this week’s podcast we dive into the difference between need, desire, and preference, and how you can incorporate this understanding into your tapping practice to allow for more rapid personal transformation.
