Pod #485: Tapping For When You Hit An Emotional Wall

October 28, 2020 by Gene Monterastelli

Because of everything going on in the world at the moment, my theory is that we are all paying a 20% energy tax from the moment we get up. It's as if we are losing 20% of our energy before we have even started the day because of the underlying feelings of worry and overwhelm.

Some days these feelings are at the front of our minds and hearts, other days they're constantly playing in the background.

At some point these long term energy and emotional leaks add up and we just hit an emotional or energetic wall. Life feels too much for us to manage and we just break down.

This week I have a tap-along audio and tapping script to help when you feel like you have slammed into a brick wall.

Reminder: I have compiled a list of over 50 free tapping resources to help to manage all of the emotions stirred up by the pandemic.

Pod #484: Tapping For When Everything Goes Wrong

October 21, 2020 by Gene Monterastelli

There are times when things go wrong and then there are times when things REALLY go wrong. The week of recording this podcast my website was down for a number of days and I was unable to access my email.

I experienced a range of strong emotions around the situation including feeling frustrated, maddened and overwhelmed.

This week's podcast contains the tapping you can do when life is going very wrong. As well as tapping for the big picture “things are going very wrong” issue, I have also included tapping for how to calm down in the moment and how to tap where your emotions get the better of you and you do things you regret. (You will hear exactly why I needed to do that type of tapping in the audio.)

This is a tap-along that I recommend you bookmark and save so that when something similar comes up for you, you will be ready.

Pod #483: Tapping for Comparanoia

October 14, 2020 by Gene Monterastelli

Many of us have a love/hate relationship with social media. One one hand I genuinely love how easy social media makes it to stay connected to my friends and family from all over the world. It's great to be able to see what they are up to. I love seeing their kids grow up and I love being able to share a joke across the country and across the world.

At the same time, looking at the seemingly perfect pictures others post on social media about all the good times they are having can be perilous.

This is especially true for the current situation we are in the middle of right now. As we struggle with our day-to-day we are confronted by pictures of all the incredibly creative things people are doing with their free time and how they seem to be handling this mess so much better than we are.

It's vital to remember that social media tends to show us a carefully curated version of people's lives. It is the good things. It is the happy things. It is the pretty things.

When we only see the best of other people's lives it's easy to feel like we are failing and that comparison can feel toxic.

This week I have a simple tap-along audio and tapping script for those times when you are struggling with comparanoia.

Pod #482 Your Brain, Your Organs, Your Nervous System, Your Emotions, And Tapping w/ Jen Cincurak

October 7, 2020 by Gene Monterastelli

The more time I spend studying the human body, the more its complexity amazes me. We are a combination of biological functions, thoughts, beliefs, memories, and an entire pharmacy of biochemistry that is released and absorbed by our bodies based on a whole host of factors.

Even though our system is so complex, it does work in predictable ways and this is true for the way we experience and remember trauma. Understanding how these processes work makes it easier to use tapping to create healing and transformation.

In this week's podcast Jen Cincurak and I explore how the brain, organs, and nervous system are involved in trauma. We also talk about how this understanding can make it easier to achieve more powerful results with tapping.

Pod #481: Why you shouldn’t use words when tapping w/ Gwyneth Moss

September 30, 2020 by Gene Monterastelli

The most common reason that most people don't tap on their own is because they don't know what words to say. Nearly everyone is taught to tap using words, so this preoccupation is understandable.

In this podcast Gwyneth Moss and I have a conversation that has completely changed the way that I teach tapping and how I encourage most people to tap on their own.

The best part about it is that it doesn't require you to come up with any words or phrases, which makes it easier to tap.

Much of what Gwyneth Moss talks about in this interview is based on Gunilla Hamne and Ulf Sandström's Trauma Tapping Technique (TTT). You can find out more about TTT by visiting their website peacefulheart.se.

How not to tap for an issue

September 28, 2020 by Gene Monterastelli

One of the sessions in my recent Mastering the Art of Delivery training was about the lessons I've learned from other teachers and healing masters.

I started the presentation off with this video, which is how NOT to work with a client, but it always makes me laugh.

Pod #480: Moving Past An Extinction Burst

September 23, 2020 by Gene Monterastelli

You have been there before. You're trying to make a positive change in your life, such as giving up sweets.

The first day is hard. The second is harder. The third day, for some unknown reason, is really easy. You feel awesome. You are making progress. Real change is happening!

But then along comes day four…

You come home from work and find yourself eating one little piece of candy. You think, “This is no big deal. It is only one piece.”

Before you know it, one piece turns into two, then four, and then the bag is empty and you think, “Screw it! It’s too late and I've totally messed up!” and you devour every sweet in the house plus some potato chips for good measure.

Within moments you’re filled with shame and self-loathing. You wake up the next morning feeling defeated.

What you have just experienced is an “extinction burst”. I think David McRaney described extinction burst perfectly when he writes: “a predictable and common blast of defiance from the recesses of a brain denied familiar rewards.”

In this week's podcast I share with you:

  • why extinction bursts happen
  • how they can undermine our progress and our willingness to tap
  • how to get past an extinction burst to create healthier habits

This is a concept that is key to understand to be able to heal and move forward.

Pod #479: How To End A Tapping Session

September 16, 2020 by Gene Monterastelli

When we are tapping for a specific issue it can often feel as if there is a small bit of it remaining that we can't quite put our finger on. It seems like a shadow of the issue hanging around in the background, rather than the issue itself.

When this happens it is hard to know which phrases to tap on to resolve the last little bit of the issue. In this week's podcast I share the process I use when the SUDs level is at a 2 or less. You can learn it in just 30 seconds and will find it easy to repeat whenever you need it.

Pod #478: Tapping for Chronic Illness and Pain w/ Dr. Peta Stapleton

September 9, 2020 by Gene Monterastelli

Chronic issues can be some of the most difficult to address with tapping and EFT because usually there is no obvious root cause. The physical ailments can begin months or even years after the trauma occurred and since it's hard to know when the issue began, we don't have a clear target for our tapping.

In this conversation Dr. Peta Stapleton shares why trauma can create chronic issues and how to tap effectively for these issues using their physical symptoms. Her perspective is informed by the early results of the tapping for chronic illness study that she is currently leading.

Peta has been a guest many times on the podcast and you can find all of our past conversations in the podcast archive.

Pod #477: Why I’m OK with the bad choices I’m making

September 3, 2020 by Gene Monterastelli

Recently I have changed my mind about making bad choices. Instead of feeling frustrated with myself, I have decided to embrace occasionally making bad choices as long as I make them in a conscious way.

Strangely this decision has been helping me to make better, healthier choices!

In this week's podcast I explore why I am allowing myself to make poor or unhealthy choices, why it ultimately helps me to make better choices, and I have also included a tap-along to support these choices.

Pod #476: Tapping in less than 10 minutes a day

August 26, 2020 by Gene Monterastelli

Tapping and EFT are powerful tools that can be used for so many different issues it can be difficult to know exactly where to start. The part of us that wants to get our tapping “exactly right” means that sometimes we don't tap because we want to avoid tapping on the “wrong thing”.

Over the last few months I have changed the way that I tap to start my day. My process takes less than 10 minutes, but by doing it every morning I ensure that I get my day off on the right foot. Using the process helps to clear my head, gives me a little boost of energy, and makes starting my day a bit easier.

In this week's podcast I teach you the simple process I have been using. All you need is a timer (like your mobile phone or watch), a pen, and a piece of paper.

Pod #475: Tapping To Let Go Of Old Identities

August 19, 2020 by Gene Monterastelli

When we are describing ourselves (or when others are describing us) we identify with a whole host of different characteristics. You might be known as a hard worker, a caring person, a great wit, or a loyal friend.

Some of these characteristics are aspirational, some are from the ways others describe us, and others may have been picked up from our families and cultures of origin.

These characteristics aren't bad in themselves because they help us to understand ourselves and often give us something to strive for. But they can become problematic when we use them as the sole measuring stick to judge ourselves, and when we beat ourselves up emotionally for not meeting these frequently unrealistic standards.

This week's podcast explores how and why we pick up these identities, how they can be harmful, and also how to tap to release identities that do not serve us.

Pod #474: The Reason Why You Don’t Tap More & How To Overcome It

August 12, 2020 by Gene Monterastelli

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.

I like to check in with my email newsletter readers to find out what struggles they are facing with tapping so that I can create the most useful resources possible.

The majority of the responses I've received describe a similar problem, described in one of two ways. They are “I never remember to tap” and “I forget to tap in the moment of distress”.

There are two reasons why this happens. First, building a habit takes time and just because we want to do something regularly doesn't mean we automatically start to do it. In Podcast 201 I teach you easy ways to make tapping a habit.

The second reason we don't tap is because there is a subconscious part of us that resists healing. It isn't that we want to suffer, but on some level we believe that the safest option is to stay stuck exactly where we are.

It doesn't have to be this way. This week's podcast covers why we don't tap, even when we know it will be helpful, and how to start tapping more regularly.

She went from feeling suicidal to never cutting again!

August 7, 2020 by Gene Monterastelli

Trigger warning: In this email I share the story of a very intense client session that references self-harm.

Good morning,

I hope you have had the chance to listen to the podcast that was released on Wednesday. It is an amazing conversation with Mark Wolynn, who happens to be one of my favorite guests.

The podcast explores the difference between attachment trauma and generational trauma.

To start the conversation Mark shared the story of a client he worked with a few years ago. His client “Sarah” was struggling with some deep-seated emotional issues that manifested in physically cutting herself, but unlike most cutters she would cut very deeply near a major vein.

This landed Sarah in the emergency room a number of times and then in an inpatient facility, which is where Mark started working with her. The outline of Sarah's treatment was:

  • Mark had Sarah hold a pen to her arm like she would a knife and asked her what she was thinking
  • Sarah said “I don't deserve to live”
  • Mark asked why she felt that way, and what she believed had done to merit this punishment
  • Sarah couldn't find a response to that question
  • With this Mark realized that Sarah's struggle wasn't about her own trauma, but rather a generational trauma that she was carrying for her grandmother who had crashed a car and killed her grandfather
  • Using some of his drama therapy skills, Mark worked with Sarah and had her interact with both of her grandparents, which created deep healing
  • Sarah's father came in at the end of the session and Mark and Sarah shared what they had been working on, triggering an emotional response from Sarah's father
  • Mark did some more work with Sarah and her father together

AND Sarah never cut herself again.

There are two takeaways for me from this.

First, gaining a better understanding of attachment trauma and general trauma has made me a better practitioner.

Second, it is amazing to hear a skilled practitioner talk about their process. Mark is very honest in the interview about the moments in which he was trying the first thing that instinctively came to mind and when he was using a specific tool. He moves seamlessly from asking good questions, to parts work, to family systems work, to generational healing.

When I use the term “art of delivery” this is exactly what I am talking about, because being able to tap in that way doesn't happen by accident.

Mastering the art of delivery is the ability to understand how the healing process works, where the client is emotionally in the moment, having multiple tools at your disposal for uncovering information around the issues, and then being able to tap in the most effective way.

That is why I created the Mastering the Art of Delivery training.

Even if you never find yourself in a situation where you are working with someone in such acute distress as Sarah, the better you are at the art of delivery, the better results you will see when tapping with clients or on your own.

I am offering this training four times over the next few weeks. Each weekend has a different start time to accommodate people in different parts of the world, so that everyone can take the class in daylight hours:

  • August 22nd and 23rd – Eastern North America and South America
  • August 29th and 30th – Western North America
  • September 5th and 6th – Asia, Australia, and New Zealand
  • September 12th and 13th – Europe, Africa, and the Middle East

You don't have to go to the weekend that is geared for your part of the world, just choose whichever one works best for you.

Use the discount code “art” for 50% off.

As of the writing of this note there are only 4 seats left in the first weekend.

This is your opportunity to move from having tapping work for you to using tapping in a way that takes less effort, is quicker, and creates longer lasting results.

Pod #473: Attachment Trauma v Generational Trauma w/ Mark Wolynn

August 5, 2020 by Gene Monterastelli

In the most basic terms it means that if one of our parents has a fear of water because of a traumatic instance in their life it is very likely we will have the same fear because it is in our DNA.

I believe that one of the most important discoveries in the study of trauma is the recognition that trauma can be passed down from generation to generation through our genetic code.

In the most basic terms, it means that if one of our parents has a fear of water because of a traumatic incident in their life, it is highly likely we will have the same fear because it is in our DNA.

The good news is that just because it is in our DNA, does not mean we are stuck with it forever. It just requires a different approach for the transformation because we don't have a specific memory to tap on.

In my first interview with Mark we talked about how trauma can be passed down through our epigenetics. This time we talk about how to identify if something is a generational trauma or an attachment trauma (in other words, something that has happened to us) through recognizing what he calls “trauma language”. The language we use to describe our trauma will help us to tell which type of trauma it is.

Take the time to dive into this one. I recommend that you listen to it twice.

Pod #472: Not knowing what to say when tapping w/ Nancy Forrester

July 29, 2020 by Gene Monterastelli

Especially for beginners, and sometimes for more skilled tappers, knowing what to say and where to start is often the part of tapping that trips people up.

Just because we recognize the fact that the words themselves aren't magic and that there is no such thing as the perfect tapping phase, does not mean it's easy to start when we are experiencing a lot of mixed emotions all at once.

In this conversation Nancy Forester and I talk about a number of approaches and tools that you can use to start your tapping. These will ease you into tapping when you don't know where to begin and also help you to get more out of your tapping sessions each time you sit down.

Pod #471: Why Tapping Works w/ David Feinstein, PhD

July 22, 2020 by Gene Monterastelli

The two most common questions asked by those new to tapping are “Does tapping work?” and “How do we know tapping works?” As someone who loves tapping, it's great that I can share my personal first hand experience of tapping, but for some people it just isn't enough.

In this conversation David Feinstein and I talk about six criteria to determine whether or not tapping works. Then we move on to what the scientific research has shown as to why tapping works.

I believe this information is useful for a couple of reasons. First, when we know how something works, it makes it easier for us to get the most out of the tool. Second, when we know how and why it works, it makes it much easier to explain to others.

I think this is an essential conversation for anyone who taps and would like to share tapping with others.

Here are just 20 of things that you will learn

July 21, 2020 by Gene Monterastelli

On Saturday I was reading an sales email from someone who works in the professional development space about a program they are selling. My first thought was “Is that really true?”

I wasn't questioning the modality they use and I wasn't questioning the quality of their work.

But I wasn't entirely convinced by the story that was being told about how and why I was receiving the email. It felt more like a marketing tactic than an honest explanation of what was really going on.

The reason I bring this up is because I don't ever want you to think that I am doing that as a marketer. I know that I need to be good at marketing both in order to have a successful business and to make a difference in the world with the work I do.

I never want to be a cynical marketer.

Instead, my aim is to communicate clearly about what I am offering and why I think it will be helpful to you. If what I am offering is a good fit for you then I hope you will say yes. In the best of all worlds you feel like you are receiving value and I feel like my work is being valued and I'm making a difference.

All of this is a long way around explaining the bullet list below. In seeking to demonstrate the value of the Mastering the Art of Delivery training, I knew at some point it would be useful to send at least a partial list of what you would learn in the class.

As I read over it now it feels a little hype-y. But with that being said, here are just 20 of the lessons, tools, and techniques you will learn in the Mastering the Art of Delivery training:

  1. What I tap on before I tap on the issue that improves my results
  2. Why my first round of tapping is without words
  3. The reason the subconscious mind overreacts emotionally and what we can do about it
  4. Why clients forget about all the progress they have made and how that gets in the way of more healing
  5. The main reason we subconsciously prevent ourselves from healing (and the tapping phrase that overcomes it)
  6. Why I stopped trying to achieve total relief with tapping and how that improved my results
  7. Why I start almost every round of tapping with the phrase “I give myself permission…” and why that makes each round of tapping emotionally easier
  8. The one key issue that I tap for every single morning
  9. What I learned from tapping on fungus, viruses, and bacteria that I now use when tapping for emotions and past memories
  10. How I tailor tapping phrases for each specific client so our work is more personal and effective
  11. The three-question sequence that makes parts work easy to do – especially when we are tapping for our own issues
  12. How using the “rule of three” helps clients to be more honest with themselves about their issues, which leads to faster results
  13. The visualization I learned from a client that transformed my approach to parts work (I use this at least once a week for myself)
  14. The best way to measure the success of tapping or any healing modality (and it's not the SUD scale)
  15. My favorite question to ask clients to help them find answers to questions they can't consciously see in the moment (I sometimes even use this question on myself and even though I know it is a trick, it still works on me)
  16. The first thing I do when a client shares something completely unexpected with me to ensure I am never lost in a session and my client is emotionally safe at all times
  17. Why one of my clients decided to bring Bruce Willis from Die Hard into a guided imagery while tapping, why it was the perfect resource for healing, and how you too can get your clients to come up with the perfect healing resources
  18. My seven-step parts work formula you can use effectively right away, even if you've never studied parts work
  19. How to tap successfully with a client when they are unwilling to share details of the issue they are struggling with
  20. The step I recently added to doing inner child work which makes the process much gentler and more effective

I believe every statement above is true. I know you will learn all of this and so much more from the Mastering the Art of Delivery training.

Over the weekend I received an email asking what was the difference between this training and the Advanced Tapping Techniques audio I sell on my site. In addition to going through the specifics of the topics, I shared this:

The other difference is nine years of experience. Even though some of the topics are the same, I am a more skillful practitioner because of the hundreds of hours that I have tapped on my own and the thousands of hours that I have tapped with clients. The art of delivery is about the ability to use these tools and techniques in the moment. I am so much better at that today than I was nine years ago, and a better practitioner and teacher as a result.

I would really love it if you joined us for one of the weekends I am teaching Mastering the Art of Delivery!

You can find all the details about the class, how to participate from anywhere in the world, and how to sign up by going to http://TappingArtOfDelivery.com.
