Pod #654: Tapping for tasks you despise

March 19, 2025 by Gene Monterastelli

A number of years ago I was visiting my friend “Mike” and his family.

Mike asked his youngest son, who was about five at the time, to tidy his room before dinner.

His son replied, in the most overwrought and dramatic voice possible, “But whyyyyyyyyyyyy? I am just going to make it messy again!”

I can relate!

There are SO MANY tasks on my to-do list that I dislike doing and there are even some that I despise.

In this week’s podcast, I share some simple ways you can clear your resistance to doing the tasks you despise.

I can’t promise that tapping will make those tasks enjoyable, but you will get more done and you won’t have those dreaded tasks hanging over you any longer.

Pod #653: Tapping for exhaustion and feeling emotionally drained

March 12, 2025 by Gene Monterastelli

There is a huge difference between bouncing back from being tired and being exhausted.

When we are tired, we simply need to refill our tank.

When we are exhausted, we first have to recover from being exhausted before we can even consider refilling our tank.

In this week’s podcast, I share seven simple ways you can help yourself when you are feeling exhausted or emotionally drained.

And the great thing about these seven ideas is that you don’t have to do them all in order to bounce back. Instead, you can pick and choose the two or three that work best for you.

Pod #652: Stop picking up others emotional burdens without feeling like a selfish jerk

March 5, 2025 by Gene Monterastelli

One of the hardest parts of being a caring person is witnessing others in pain.

When we see someone struggling, it feels natural to want to step in and help.

With that being said, there is a fine line between being helpful and taking responsibility for someone else’s suffering.

This becomes doubly hard where emotional burdens are concerned. While we might be able to assist with practical struggles, we can’t pick up someone else’s emotional struggle.

In this week’s podcast I explore:

  • Why we are prone to picking up other people’s emotional burdens
  • How to release these burdens without feeling unkind or selfish
  • How to avoid picking up the emotional burdens of others in the future

If you care deeply about others but often find yourself overwhelmed by their emotions, this episode is for you.

Pod #651: Permission to feel: Embracing emotions without judgment

February 26, 2025 by Gene Monterastelli

There is this moment in every tapper’s life when we move from “This tapping thing is amazing” to “Oh my goodness there are soooooo many issues for me to tap on. Every time I clear one issue I find four more!”

It’s easy to feel frustrated and demotivated when this happens.

You might even stop tapping altogether because it feels like the tapping is creating more problems than it is solving (when we know it is really just uncovering what is already there).

This week in the podcast, I share with you what I do when I feel overwhelmed with all the work I need to do and the fact that there seem to be so many emotions.

By tapping in this way we can move from feeling overwhelmed by our emotions, to recognizing it is just one more step on our healing journey.

Pod #650 Drowning in issues? Afraid of big emotions? Try this simple approach

February 19, 2025 by Gene Monterastelli

Over the years, so many of my clients and students have told me that two of the biggest obstacles preventing them from sitting down to tap are having too many issues so that they don’t know where to start, and the fear that their emotions will be too big to handle when tapping.

It makes total sense that these obstacles make it hard for us to tap because they are both rooted in our subconscious mind’s wish to keep us safe.

When it comes to having too many issues, the subconscious mind is worried about us wasting time. It is concerned that we are going to pick the wrong issues or an issue that will not make a big difference. Even though we tap, we aren’t doing it in the most useful way. So, in order not to waste our time, we get around to tapping at all.

Where being overwhelmed with emotions is concerned, the subconscious is just trying to keep us safe. It knows how deeply we can feel emotions and it doesn’t want to feel the pain of being SUPER emotional.

This week in the podcast, I share a simple way for you to overcome both of these issues so that you can tap in the most useful way and allow healing and transformation to happen.

The process is called the Container Process. Listen to the podcast to learn the process, when it is best used, and follow along with my demonstration. You don’t even have to memorise the process, just follow along and tap as I do all the heavy lifting.

This is a process every tapper should know.
