Tapping to not feel your emotions – and why that can be a good thing (Pod #688)
One of the concepts I talk about daily with my clients and students is that the goal of tapping is a proportionate, well-informed emotional response.
In most cases, this is a process of giving the emotions space to be heard and understood. Once we know where the emotional response is coming from, we create the space for us to heal, transform, and create a proportionate, well-informed emotional response.
One of the reasons we love tapping is because it is so good at helping us to do exactly that.
With that being said, I believe that sometimes it is best for us to not feel our emotions.
I know that might sound like a contradiction.
This week in the podcast, I explore when it can be healthy and useful to tap in a way where we are putting a lid on our emotions (for now) rather than clearing them.
Even if you are skeptical about this idea, I encourage you to give this tapping a try and then decide if it is a good fit for your healing journey.

Pod #687: Why you resist taking healthy action AND how to tap to clear your resistance
One of the most frustrating experiences around personal healing and transformation is when we know what we need to do, how to do it, have everything we need to take action (including time and energy), really want to take the action…and then we don't.
When this happens, we feel we have failed and let ourselves down, and might even decide we are unworthy of healing and transformation because we have failed and “can't be trusted”.
There is a simple reason this pattern keeps appearing in your life: Your inner child is running the show.
As a child you were not in control of what you did, when you did it, who you did it with, what you wore and ate, when you went to bed, and the list goes on.
Today, when you decide you want to do something healthy, your inner child screams “I don't wannaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Now that you are an adult, supposedly in control of your actions, your inner child ends up in the driving seat and getting its way.
This week in the podcast I will show you how to tap to get your inner child on board so that you can stop being your biggest obstacle to success.

Pod #686: When other people’s tapping success hurts your healing
Seeing others succeed can be a powerful source of inspiration. Once we know something is possible for others, then it also becomes possible for us.
Take the sub-four-minute mile for example. At one point, it was thought impossible for a human to run a mile in less than four minutes and that pushing so hard would cause the runner's heart to explode.
On May 6th, 1954 Roger Bannister was the first person to run a sub-four-minute mile. Less than six weeks later John Landy not only ran a sub-four-minute mile, he beat Bannister's time.
Something went from being impossible, to being done, to having other people doing it.
While it can be encouraging to see others enjoy success, sometimes that becomes a tool for us to beat ourselves up emotionally.
We see that we are working as hard, if not harder, than others and yet we are not having success.
This can lead us to question our effort, our ability, or whether success is even possible for us. Other people's success just highlights our own failure and we feel defeated rather than encouraged.
This week in the podcast we tap for those times where we feel we have failed because we aren't having the same success as those we see around us.
If you have ever felt like you are working as hard (if not harder) as the people around you and there must be something wrong with you because you are not getting the results you want, then this week's podcast was recorded just for you.
