Pod #191: EFT For Getting Past Fear w/ Mary Ayers

by

(At least here in America) one of the most common pieces of advice you’ll hear for overcoming fear is to “just grit your teeth and fight your way through it!”

That advice is plain silly!

Fear is not something we should simply muscle through. Instead, it is a primitive emotion that does everything it can to keep us safe.

This week I have a conversation with Dr. Mary Ayers who was in exactly that situation. She had to do something that scared her and was told by those around her that she just had to overcome the fear and get on with it.

She decided to take another path. She faced the fear head on, figured out why it was there, and removed it. Not only does Mary share her own experience of transforming fear, she shares how she did it AND how you can do it too.

Pod #190: Perfectionism, Self-Forgiveness, & EFT

by

perfectionismPerfectionism is tricky.

At its core perfectionism is motivated by wanting everything to be just perfect, because when everything is perfect it becomes manageable.

Making life manageable is great but the problem is that it will never be perfect. And when things are not perfect we can very easily fall into beating ourselves up for “failing” to meet impossible standards.

This week I have a tap-along to help us be gentler with ourselves for not being perfect, and to forgive ourselves for being unable to reach unattainable goals.

Pod #189: EFT For The Burdens Of Others

by

EFTBurdenIt is not uncommon for us to pick up the emotional beliefs or emotional burdens of our loved ones. In most cases we don't even realize we are doing it.

Emotional beliefs are often formed when we are children because we are so impressionable at a young age. We usually shoulder the emotional burdens of loved ones out of the desire to care for or protect them.

At a certain point we realize that we must let these go in order to be healthy. This week I have a tap-along to help you to release emotional burdens and beliefs that are not serving you.

Even if you don't think you have experienced either of these I encourage you to tap through this audio because we often don't realize what we are carrying emotionally.

I would love you to share your experience of this tap-along in the comments below.

Pod #188: EFT for Grief w/ Sherry O’Brian

by

EFT For Grief

There two common misconceptions in understanding how grief affects us.

First, many people believe that the 5 stages of grief as defined by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance) are the way humans always experience grief. Second, many people believe that grief is only experienced around extreme events, such as the death of a loved one.

Grief is a much more complicated and subtle process than those two perceptions would lead us to believe.

In this week's interview with Sherry O'Brian we talk about the many different ways that we may experience grief and how we process it.

I am guessing if you haven't had a loved one die recently you are thinking that this podcast isn’t for you. But I encourage everyone to listen to this because more than likely grief is present in your life in an unexpected way and you will find this conversation very helpful.
