Losing My Ability To Feel Emotions
I have been successful with EFT when it comes to working on minor aches and pains. There are some big emotional things from my past I would like to tap on, but I am afraid. I worry that I am going to tap away my ability to feel emotions. Is EFT going to leave me emotionless? This is a very common question. Emotional Freedom Techniques (EvEFT/EFT) is a very powerful tool when you want to get relief from very powerful emotions. Many people equate moving from an emotional state to losing the ...

Pod #3: What is surrogate tapping and how do I it
Over the last few months I have received lots of questions about surrogate tapping. In this episode we take a detailed look at surrogate tapping, what it is, theories on why it works, and how to use it. Show Topic:Getting your head around surrogate tapping with EFT can be difficult (EFT/EvEFT eveft.html). It is hard enough to accept that tapping on the body while tuning into physical and emotional issues can provide relief. It’s a much bigger leap to believe that tapping in the same way on our ...

Parts Of The Body
photo by Lady Pain I was on a retreat recently where the retreat director spent a great deal of time talking about how we have become disconnected from our bodies in the modern world. This makes sense, as most of us no longer do work that requires a great amount of physical effort. Even though our lifestyle doesn’t require us to be in close contact with our bodies it doesn’t mean that we should lose that close connection with our bodies. In addition to being essential to our ...
Pod #2: Pain Is Not Real w/ Dan Cleary
In this episode I talk with pain relief expert Dan Cleary. Gained from his own personal experience about chronic pain, Dan has an amazing point of view about how to gain pain relief. In this interview he talks about the “10% solution” that will reshape your understanding of pain, even if you don’t experience chronic pain. Show Topic:Dan often starts his pain relief classes with the statement “Pain is not real!” This is a dramatic statement, often causing his students to sit up in their seats, ...
Video: Using EFT to heal without moving too far too fast w/ Rick Wilkes
While it is true that there are some issues that can be solved in a very short period of time, most healing happens over a period of time. In this episode, EFT Expert Rick Wilkes and I reveal how we work this healing process without going too far, too fast. We believe that if we move to peak experiences too quickly, they can be followed by an emotional crash -- much like the crash that follows a sugar high. Rick artfully shows how we can move up the emotional scale more steadily, insuring that ...
God’s Love
[Note: Please note most of the articles at EFT Q & A are written from a very general point of view so they are accessible to the largest audience possible. This article is a little different. The topic came up while e-mailing back and forth with a Christian. The theology contained in the article about God's unconditional love comes from my (limited) understanding of God. I offer it, like everything on this site, as a point of view that is mine and mine alone, not as dogma. If these phrases ...

Show Topic: While it is true that there are some issues that can be resolved very quickly, most healing happens over a period of time.

Sadness
Sadness can be one of the hardest emotions to use Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/EvEFT) for. It just doesn’t do it justice to tap on the phrase, “I feel sad.”1 Somehow the word sad doesn’t encompass all that goes along with our feelings because there are many different flavors of sadness. When I am faced with sadness the first thing I do is tap on the sadness without any words. I close my eyes and simply let the sadness grow in my heart. I am not running from it. I am not running to it. I ...
It was like I didn’t have control over my own body!
I would wake up in the middle of the night and... walk into the kitchen for a glass of water. The next thing I knew there was a pile of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Minis wrappers on the table. I had no recollection of eating them. If I licked my teeth I could taste the remnants of what I had just eaten, but I couldn’t even remember enjoying eating them. This didn't just happen once At first I thought is was no big deal, a little midnight snack. Then it started happening night ...
Not Knowing What To Tap On
There are times when we know Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/EvEFT), but we don’t know where to begin. We are either faced with so many issues our mind jumps from one issue to another, or we have so much going on that we can’t seem to get a grip on any one issue. Almost every EFT/EvEFT resource instructs you to be as specific as possible. (This web site even does it in the basic introduction to EFT.) But sometimes this is just not possible, and then it is okay to deal with everything all at ...
When Our Change Affects Others
I love EFT and use it a lot. It’s been very helpful with small emotional issues and simple physical pains. But when it comes to bigger issues I have a concern. I’m afraid that if I change the person I am I will hurt the people I love. Do you have any advice? Change of any sort can be scary. We can fear that we are not going to be able to manage the new situation, we can fear not knowing how to be in the new situation, and we can fear that others are going to be disappointed with us. I see this ...
Feeling Like You Are Backsliding
Often when we do change work we feel like the deeper we dig into an issue the worse it gets. It is almost as if we stir up issues that weren’t there before. This can be frustrating and overwhelming. We might ask, “If all I do is make this worse, why am I bothering? It’s not worth it! I give up!” Even though we feel like we are not making progress, in reality we are. It just appears we are backsliding. Here is an analogy I like to use with my clients. I grew up in Wyoming (one of the western ...
Journaling
photo by Luigi Anzivino A number of studies have indicated that the simple act of writing down what we are thinking and worrying about takes some of the charge out of the emotions. Dragging the thoughts into the light of day helps us to see what we are overreacting to and what is truly going on. When we leave our thoughts alone in our head they have a tendency to be magnified. The mind serves as an echo chamber (especially in the middle of the night). Each time a thought or worry is ...
Our Emotions Are Illogical And Make No Sense
Sometimes the healing process is hampered by our logical mind. We get to the point where we can name our issues, but they make no sense at all. We can logically see how things are different from what our emotions believe. This can be a very difficult point in the healing process because we realize that we can’t talk ourselves out of misguided or wrong emotional beliefs. Because we can’t logic our way out of something, we don’t know where to turn and can feel helpless in the healing process. I ...
One Issue That Is Really Three or Four Issues
I am dealing with homework issues and tantrums with my 8 year-old daughter. Parenting her really takes all my energy. It seems I spend more time battling with her than enjoying her. How can I approach this issue? photo by Kathryn Rotondo Sometimes when we face a situation it looks like one issue, because it is one situation, but in reality it’s more than one issue. At first it might seem daunting to break the issue down into smaller parts because it appears to require more ...
