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.

Pod #461: Lessons Learned From Gene’s Experience Tapping With Survivors Of Super Typhoon Haiyan

by

In May 2014 I was lucky enough to be invited to join the group Empowering The Philippines in teaching EFT Tapping to the residents of Tacloban City and the surrounding areas. Six months earlier the region had been ravaged by Super Typhoon Haiyan (called Yolanda in the Philippines), displacing four million people and leaving one million homes damaged or destroyed.

Our days in the Philippines were split between teaching local people how to use tapping to deal with their experience of the typhoon, and teaching teachers, doctors, and mental health professionals how to use tapping in their work.

After the experience my friend Helen McConnell (bio below) interviewed me about the work we did, my experience, and what we can all learn from this type of work.

I also wrote a daily diary with my personal reflections while in the Philippines, which you can read on on my personal blog.

Pod #460: Emotions Are Stronger Than Rational Thinking When Making Good Choices

By understanding these fundamentals you will be able to get more out of your tapping faster. Make sure you check out the whole series.

I often hear my clients say “I should have known better” OR “I know better, but for some reason I keep making the same choice” when they are judging their actions. Just knowing what the right choice is doesn't mean we will make it, because information alone is not enough.

Most of the reasons we don't make the right choice or take the right action, even though we know intellectually what we want to do, have to do with our emotional state. In almost every case, emotions will win out over reason.

This week's podcast explores:

  • Why our emotions win
  • How dealing with regret for poor choices in the past is key to making better choices in future
  • How to use EFT Tapping to make better choices more often
