I am constantly amazed at how willing parents are to put their children first. It’s common for parents to make sure their child's needs are met before they do anything for themselves. As well meaning as this is, it can cause problems in the long ...
There is a very primitive part of our nature that knows we are safest when we belong. This instinct was a key to survival for our nomadic ancient ancestors who sought safety in numbers at times of danger. While we no longer have to worry about being ...
Good morning, As you may know, for two years I was lucky enough to teach tapping as part of an advanced anger management class in a county jail. Yes! I had guys in prison jumpsuits tapping along with me and really liking it. I quickly ...
We all know that the more specific we can be when tapping, the more effective it will be. As a concept this is easy to understand, but in practice it is much harder to implement. Humans are complicated creatures. We can talk about the difference ...
Here in the United States it already feels as if the Presidential election campaign has been going on for way too long. And we still have eight more months to go. The lead story (and often the first five stories) on the nightly news is invariably ...
One of the reasons that we love tapping so much is its versatility. Because we can use tapping in so many different settings it can often be confusing to know exactly how to tap in a given moment. For example, there is a huge difference between ...
Not all physical pain is the same. Pain can have many different root causes, ranging from physical wounds to emotional issues. Some pain passes as the body heals, while other pain is chronic. In this week's podcast I talk to Dan Cleary who damaged ...
Good communication is hard. It is easy to be misunderstood because we all understand specific words in different ways. I can say one thing and yet you may understand something completely different. More than likely when you think of allergies you ...
In podcast #204 I showed you a straightforward technique that you can use to tune into the emotional states that you would like to have as you move through the day. This week’s podcast is something I use to help me to tune into the type of person I ...
Good morning, In addition to this newsletter, I also have a mailing list which teaches people how to run and grow small businesses. A few weeks ago I sent an email with the subject line "Why I Love January 5th!" The ...
The Center For Nonviolent Communication created one of my favorite tools, the feelings inventory, which I used a great deal when working with the incarcerated. I found that the men I had the opportunity to work with lacked vocabulary when it came to ...
A few weeks ago I was tapping with one of my clients for a deep ache she was feeling in her heart. The situation: she was in the process of filling up one of her programs and was having lots of conversations with prospective clients who would be ...
In my own life I have found that my level of confidence has less to do with how good I am at something and much more to do with how comfortable I am with myself at a given moment. I think it is a mistake to believe that all we need to do is get ...
The Cost Of Looking Fear In The Eye Last year I spent some time trying to figure out what my next venture would be. Working on a new project that calls on my creativity feeds my soul. The project I was considering was a new podcast called "Facing ...
"In most pursuits, one's self is one of the biggest hurdles to get over. You can't pursue something and be committed to it if you're apologizing for it at every party." – Lisa Kudrow, Vasser Commencement Address, 2010 For some reason part of us ...
As we move into the new year I am guessing you are like most people as you consider the goals you want to achieve in 2016. EFT can be such a powerful tool in helping you make the changes you want in life and will have the highest impact when used ...
I hear it all the time from my clients when we are tapping together. We’ll finish a round of tapping and they will report that while we are tapping their critical voice is saying the exact opposite to our tapping phrases. I know how frustrating this ...
Making big decisions can be difficult because the choices aren't always clear-cut and there may be many pros and cons to consider. When this happens it can cause us to seize up and fail to make a choice at all. Here is a tap-along audio to help you ...
As humans we are skilled at learning from our past. This also means that we can be overly critical and spend too much time beating ourselves up over poor choices we have made in the past. Part of us resists self-forgiveness because of the concern ...
There is an amazing contradiction that exists for most people who use EFT. On one hand we know how powerful it is. On the other hand we don't use it as much as we could. I have even heard many clients report that there are times when they actively ...
