Pod #562: What goes wrong if I am successful? – Finding Root Causes (Part 4)

June 8, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

The fear of success is the single most difficult type of resistance to uncover.

I know it sounds strange to fear success, but it is a lot more common than you might think.

The subconscious mind may fear success because it is worried that we might have success and then lose it, or once we have it, it becomes hard to maintain, or we will have to keep working really hard (if not harder) to maintain that success, to name just a few scenarios.

Because it doesn’t seem logical or obvious to fear success, it can be hard to uncover those limiting beliefs.

This week in the podcast I share some simple questions you can ask yourself (or your clients) to uncover fears around being successful when working on taking positive action towards your goals.

Pod #561: “I know you don’t know the answer but…” – Finding Root Causes (Part 3)

May 31, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

After working with clients for many years, I have come to the realization that we are notoriously bad eyewitnesses to our own experiences.

We are great at telling stories about our experiences, our past, and our traumas, but unfortunately they aren’t always true.

This can hinder our transformation because without a clear understanding of our experience, it is hard to heal. We can spend time tapping on issues that feel big and important, only to find out that they have nothing to do with the root cause of the issue at hand.

In this week’s podcast I share a phrase that will make it easier to get accurate information about your own experience and speed the healing process.

You can use this phrase when tapping on your own and when working with clients. You can even use the phrase in a normal conversation when helping out a friend.

Pod #560: Three lenses for uncovering resistance – Finding Root Causes (Part 2)

May 24, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

Sometimes we have to do tasks that we just don’t like because they are no fun, such as having to scrub the inside of a smelly old garbage can, or doing yard work at three in the afternoon on a hot summer’s day.

There are other tasks where the reason we avoid doing them is less clear. Hidden behind our reluctance is the key to understanding our resistance to taking action.

When we are able to decode our resistance and uncover the hidden meaning behind it, then we have a powerful tool for clearing our self-sabotaging behaviors.

This week in the podcast I share with you three lenses you can use to find hidden limiting beliefs in the tasks you don’t like.

Pod #559: Two questions I always ask when tapping – Finding Root Causes (Part 1)

May 17, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

Just because we know what to do, how to do it, and have everything we need to take action, it doesn’t mean we actually take action.

For me, this is one of the most frustrating places to be because it is clear that I am set up for success AND I am the one getting in my own way.

The tricky part of this situation is identifying the resistance hindering us from taking action because it is seldom obvious.

We wind up frustrated and confused by our inaction, and then we beat ourselves up for not taking action.

This week in the podcast I share two simple questions you can ask yourself to help uncover the root causes of your reluctance to move forward. I use these questions every day when tapping on my own and when working with clients.

Pod #558: “This or something better…” – My favorite tapping phrases (Part 9)

May 10, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

As humans, we are great at complaining!

And I don’t mean that as a put-down because there is a sound evolutionary reason why we excel at complaining. A complaint is a recognition of something that is bad, painful, or distasteful.

This is the subconscious mind’s way of keeping us safe. When we point out what is negative, it makes it easier to recognize and avoid it in future. The problem is that the subconscious is good at avoiding the undesirable, but poor at finding what is better.

This week we are continuing the My Favorite Tapping Phrases series with a phrase that will help you to find what you want instead.

This is a phrase I use with my goal setting AND with my tapping, and I know you will love it too.
