Tapping to not feel your emotions – and why that can be a good thing (Pod #688)

February 12, 2026 by Gene Monterastelli

One of the concepts I talk about daily with my clients and students is that the goal of tapping is a proportionate, well-informed emotional response.

In most cases, this is a process of giving the emotions space to be heard and understood. Once we know where the emotional response is coming from, we create the space for us to heal, transform, and create a proportionate, well-informed emotional response.

One of the reasons we love tapping is because it is so good at helping us to do exactly that.

With that being said, I believe that sometimes it is best for us to not feel our emotions.

I know that might sound like a contradiction.

This week in the podcast, I explore when it can be healthy and useful to tap in a way where we are putting a lid on our emotions (for now) rather than clearing them.

Even if you are skeptical about this idea, I encourage you to give this tapping a try and then decide if it is a good fit for your healing journey.
