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.
A significant amount of my time tapping with clients is spent looking into the past. We identify and examine the past experiences and beliefs that have shaped the way that the subconscious influences present action.
Tapping and EFT excel at this task!
Human beings are not usually good at seeing the past clearly. We end up judging our past choices based on current beliefs. You have experienced this if you have ever thought, “I should have known better!”
It is particularly hard because we find it almost impossible to remember what it is like to not know something. Once we have learned a lesson, it feels as if we have always known it.
When we judge ourselves harshly in this way, it slows the healing process.
This week I have a simple tapping process to help you to be gentler with your past self and past choices, which will speed the healing process.

New York City is a wacky place. One of the things that I have encountered firsthand is how amazingly different the dating scene is here compared with other cities.
Last week a client asked me, “Why do you make me tap on that phrase all the time? Is it something you see in me that makes you think we need to tap on it?”
Just because we have a to-do list filled with useful tasks doesn't mean that we will actually have a productive day. Sometimes we waste our time on tasks that aren't even on our list, or we complete tasks on our list that are not the most valuable ones.
Recently I was working with a client on the grief she was feeling at missing so many experiences she loves during quarantine. As we were debriefing after a round of tapping she said:
The world is a very big place and when we think of how we can make an impact on the world and everything going on in it, we can feel awfully small.
Most choices aren't black and white, so being of two minds is a common experience. There are pros and cons to both outcomes.
Most of us spend at least half of our day at work. Because work consumes so much of our time and attention, stress from the working day can easily spill over into the rest of our lives. 
Family is complicated. Because they are family we want what is best for them. But at the same time we put up with more from them than we'd put up with from others because they are family. We will allow our family to say and do things that we would not tolerate from anyone else in our lives.
One of the most difficult parts of the healing process is being able to forgive ourselves.
These uncertain times mean that our emotional guidance system is on overdrive. It is working nonstop to keep us safe because it's dealing with the unknown.
One of the most common issues I uncover in my client sessions is the feeling of not being worthy to be here.
The most primitive part of our emotional guidance system is our fear response. Fear's primary goal is to keep us from dying. I know that sounds like an overstatement, but this is exactly how it functions.
