Pod #660: Tapping for the fear of letting yourself down

April 30, 2025 By Gene Monterastelli Leave a Comment

Letting ourselves down is one of the deepest betrayals that we humans can experience.

It feels like such a harsh gut punch when it is something we know we should have been able to do.

After we let ourselves down in such a powerful way, our subconscious will do everything in its power, through resistance to take action so as to keep us safe. It reasons that since it was so painful to let ourselves down, the way to avoid that pain in the future is simply not to commit to something better.

Intellectually we know this is a bad plan, but the resistance will persist, trying (and often succeeding) to hold us back.

This week in the podcast we look at why we created this resistance, how to overcome it in the moment, and how to avoid it in the future.

If you are serious about healing and transformation, clearing the resistance to making commitments to yourself is essential.
