Pod #464 Tapping For Compassion Fatigue w/ Robin Bilazarian

by

Before doing this I didn't understand the difference between compassion fatigue and burnout. I thought compassion fatigue was just a specific type of burnout experienced by helpers and healers.

In reality, compassion fatigue is not only different, but can be much more serious than burnout.

To understand compassion fatigue more I interviewed licensed mental health professional Robin Bilazarian. Robin has experience of working with countless clients who are in danger of being traumatized by working with people who are in trouble.

In this podcast Robin and I talk about:

  • The difference between compassion fatigue and burnout
  • The signs of compassion fatigue
  • Why at this moment in history we are more susceptible to it
  • How to prevent and how to heal compassion fatigue

At one point in the conversation we discuss how a forgiveness practice can be helpful in combating compassion fatigue. You can find that resource here.

Even if you are not a professional helper, if you are a person who helps others in your personal life, I strongly recommend you listen to this episode.

Pod #463: Tapping To Release Concern About Other People’s Judgment Of Our Choices

by

Do you sometimes hold yourself back from making choices because of concern about how they may impact those around you?

It is good to be thoughtful about how your actions affect others, but we can't allow this to dictate our choices. If we put everyone else's needs first, we will never be able to take care of ourselves, and chances are that nobody else will do that for us.

This tapping is a simple guide to help us to be thoughtful about how our choices impact others, but without allowing that thought to control how we make choices and move through our lives.

Pod #462: Tapping For Judgment vs. Evaluation

by

Note: This podcast is a part of the Healing Fundamentals series. The topics covered in this series move beyond the basics of tapping to understanding the healing process. By understanding these fundamentals you will be able to get more out of your tapping faster. Make sure you check out the whole series.

Wanting to fit in and belong is a basic human desire, not a failure. It's natural to want others to like and accept us and to appreciate the work that we do.

Because of this fundamental desire to belong, part of us is always on the lookout for slights and judgments, which we may imagine even when they're not there. That makes us prone to mistaking someone's evaluation that something we're offering is not a good fit for them for a negative judgment of us or our worth.

This week's podcast examines:

  • The difference between evaluation and judgment
  • How we can mistake one for the other
  • Why we respond so emotionally to judgment
  • How to tap for a better understanding of evaluation vs. judgment

Reduce Shame – Video

by

Of all the negative emotions, shame is my least favorite. Shame is the result of our emotional guidance system believing that it will drive us to make better choices. In most cases it just makes us feel worse.

This tap-along video will help you to reconcile and release shame without having to fight it.
