Pod #559: Two questions I always ask when tapping – Finding Root Causes (Part 1)

Pod #558: “This or something better…” – My favorite tapping phrases (Part 9)

Pod #557: “I give my emotions permission to be heard…” – My favorite tapping phrases (Part 8)

Pod #556: “AND it does not determine what comes next…” – My favorite tapping phrases (Part 7)

Pod #553: “I’m open to the possibility…” – My favorite tapping phrases (Part 4)

Pod #551: “I give myself permission” – My favorite tapping phrases (Part 2)

Pod #548: Setting a tapping session up for success
