I Forgive Myself For My Past Mistakes – Video

January 14, 2020 by Gene Monterastelli

There is a part of our subconscious mind that wants to remember all of our mistakes. It believes that if we keep coming back to these mistakes again and again, then we won't repeat those mistakes.

In reality, when we beat ourselves up like this, we do exactly the opposite. Instead, we shy away from taking new actions to avoid beating ourselves up again in the future. That's why forgiving ourselves for past mistakes makes it easier for us to make good choices in the future.

Pod #421: The Container Process

January 13, 2020 by Gene Monterastelli

We know that the most effective way to tap is when we are able to be as specific as possible with the issue at hand.

But a common misconception about this idea is that tapping is only useful if we are specific. But that is not what the statement above says. It says “as specific as possible”. There are times when we can't be super specific because what we are feeling isn't super specific!

Sometimes our experience is a collection of emotions and feelings that are much more general OR we are processing so much at once we can't be specific about any one issue or aspect.

When that happens I use what I call the Container Process. It's a tool I regularly use with my clients.

It is perfect for:

  • when you are experiencing lots of emotions at once
  • when you can't pin down exactly what you want to tap on
  • letting go of everything at the end of the day

Also, you will be able to master the process after hearing it just two or three times so you won't need the audio if you want to do it on your own.

Best of 2019

January 11, 2020 by Gene Monterastelli

When I am planning the free resources for TappingQandA.com I take a number of factors into consideration. I receive feedback and requests from readers like you, common topics come up over and over again in my sessions with clients, and I look at past performance.

I am not one to obsess over download stats, but every few weeks I check in to see how the show is doing.

As I was looking back on 2019 and looking forward to 2020, I thought I would share with you some of the best of the best from the past year.

You might have missed these free resources when they came out the first time OR they weren't right for you when they first came out, but might be exactly what you need right now.

If you are only going to listen to one:
The Grounding Process – This is my favorite tapping tool ever. As I was compiling this list, I committed to doing this grounding process every night before I go to bed for the next 10 days.

My favorite tool:
Tapping To Music From Your Teen Years – Music is a powerful force anchoring us to our past. Here is a simple way to use music from your teen years to clear up any emotional baggage you are carrying from that time.

My favorite interview:
How to tell if you are making progress with Tapping w/ Mary Ayers – Of all the interviews I did last year, I learned the most from this one. I now use the way Mary talks about measuring progress with my own clients all the time.

Most commented upon:
What My Reaction To Others Says About Me – The most recent comment on this podcast was “Your best podcast, Gene. More, please.” I think this one struck a chord because it was so personal.

Most downloaded:

  • EFT for Anxiety and Worry w/ Julie Schiffman
  • Intention Based Tapping w/ Steve Wells
  • How You See Yourself Can Stop Your Healing w/ Brad Yates
  • The Science Behind Tapping w/ Dr. Peta Stapleton
  • EFT for Long-Term Transformation w/ Rick Hanson, Ph.D.

Most Downloaded from the archive:

  • Letting Go of Limiting and Unhelpful Beliefs
  • All About The Tapping Points w/ Beth Kearn
  • Tapping for Self-Criticism

As I stated above, I take reader and listener recommendations seriously. Some of the best episodes ever came from those recommendations. Please let me know who you would like me to interview and what topics you would like me to cover. All you need to do is reply to this note.

Just as a reminder. You can subscribe to the Tapping Q and A Podcast in a number of ways. It is – and will remain – completely free of charge. This isn't like a Netflix subscription.

Pod #420: All The Choices You Make Are Functional

January 8, 2020 by Gene Monterastelli

Working with clients has allowed me to understand a fundamental of human nature: All the choices we make are functional choices.

In practical terms this means that all of the choices we make are the best choices that we can make in any given moment based on the information we have and our current resource state.

This does not mean that we always make good choices, choices we are proud of, or choices that we would like to make again in the future. Instead it means that we are making choices for a reason.

When we are able to recognize the emotional and intellectual reasons behind our choices, it highlights the areas we can address with tapping so that we can make better choices in the future.

In this podcast I share how you can understand why on a subconscious level we are making “functional” choices AND how we can make better choices in the future.

You can find the full tapping script as a pdf of this audio over at Tapping Q and A Podcast Scripts and Transcripts.
