Why I tap in is such an "odd" way (Pod #729)
One of my favorite parts about tapping is how flexible it is. It is flexible in terms of the issues you tap on, how long you tap, how deep you go, and what you say. What most people don't realize is that it is also flexible when it comes to how you tap on the points, which points you tap on, and…

The 4-steps to find hidden resistance and limiting beliefs (Pod #728)
Tapping for limiting beliefs and resistance is a very straightforward process. All you need to do is name the limiting belief, why the limiting belief thinks it is being helpful, and then share the truth about what is really happening. When you combine this with tapping it rewrites your...

3 words that make clearing limiting beliefs easier (Pod #727)
One of the most frustrating moments in tapping is when you know a belief is holding you back, you tap on it again and again, and it simply won't budge. That's because your subconscious mind doesn't see a limiting belief as limiting. It sees it as the truth about the world and the very thing that...

Tapping for anxiety without having to get into the details (Pod #725)
Over the last week I have heard from a number of clients who have reported feeling a general sense of anxiety and grief around the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11th in New York City and Washington, DC. Feeling bad about painful anniversaries and global events is not...

A new way to tap with affirmations (Pod #724)
One of the most frequent questions that I receive in the Tapping Q&A inbox is about whether we should be tapping on positive or negative phrases. People are often concerned that if you tap on a negative phrase, you will tap a negative belief into your subconscious mind. The good news is that you...
-
A new level of self-forgiveness with tapping (pod #723)
When we are tapping to clear limiting beliefs, we often encounter the moment in time we picked up a particular belief. As a practitioner, I especially love this type of work because it means we get the chance to heal the inner child. For my money, this is some of the most profound and meaningful...

My complicated relationship with the EFT Set-Up Phrase has been resolved (Pod #721)
I have been tapping for close to 20 years. From the very beginning I have struggled with the set-up phrase from Gary Craig's EFT basic recipe. Gary engorged us to start every round of tapping my tapping on the side of our hands, saying "Even though I have this issue I deeply and completely accept...

Tapping for better sleep (Pod #720)

Tapping for focus – How I tap all day long (Pod #719)
Tapping is a powerful tool for grounding ourselves and to help us to refocus. The problem is, that grounding and focus only lasts so long. Before I start on something challenging, a few minutes of wordless tapping ensures I bring my best to the task. But if the task is difficult or it isn't going...

Tapping When You Feel Off But Don't Know Why: A 4 Step Process (Pod #718)
Some days you just feel off. Not sad about anything specific, not anxious about anything specific, just heavy, distracted, or grumpy for no reason you can name. If you have ever wondered whether tapping when you feel off actually works when you cannot pinpoint a cause, the answer is yes, and…

How to tap when you are too exhausted to focus on tapping (Pod #717)
When I sit down to tap, the first question I ask myself is "What is the goal of this round of tapping?" This serves as a powerful framing device by bringing focus to the tapping session and how to approach our issue. The essentials of tapping remain the same, but there is a big difference between...

How to tap when you don't know where to start (Pod #716)
One of the great things about tapping is that it can be used for a wide range of physical, emotional, and even spiritual issues. But that breadth brings with it the struggle of knowing where to start when there are so many things that you could tap on. Recently, I received this email from one of…

I know tapping works..so why don't I do it?! (Pod #715)
There is nothing more frustrating than knowing exactly what to do and still not doing it. When this happens, your critical voice kicks in, shaming you for being lazy and undeserving of transformation because of your lack of action. The hardest part of this type of failure is knowing what is...
-
Tapping to release the identities other people gave you (Pod #714)
Our subconscious mind confuses the difference between how we were treated and who we are. When someone left us off an invitation, we did not just file away the fact that we were not invited. We wrote a story about what it meant. They don't like me. I'm not interesting enough. I'm stupid. Over…

When Your Problem Feels Too Big to Tap On: A 5-Step Approach (Pod #713)
A client came to me recently and said something I hear more often than you might expect: "Gene, I've been trying to tap on my own, but this problem just feels too big. I don't know where to start." My answer surprised her. I told her she was right. The problem actually was too big to tap on. But...
-
Should I be working with a tapping practitioner? (Pod #712)
I love that tapping can be done independently of other people. You can use self-guided tapping, a tapping resource, like tap-along videos, or tapping scripts. Since tapping is something you can do on your own, it is logical to ask "If I can tap on my own, why would I work with a practitioner?"…

How Long Does Tapping Take to Work? An Honest Answer (Pod #709)
How long does tapping take to work? It's one of the most common questions I get, and the answer is the most unsatisfying one in coaching: it depends. In this post I'll show you why that's actually the most useful answer I can give you, and how to use it. TL;DR: How Long Tapping Takes to Work How...

Looking for "The lesson the university is trying to teach me" is keeping you stuck (Pod #708)
Recently, I was working with a client who said, "I just wish I understood what the university is trying to teach me." This is a sentiment I often hear from my clients. Learning from our past mistakes is good and valuable. When we are able to see what went wrong and why it went wrong, we can act…

Three ways to tap for stubborn issues (Pod #706)

What to Do When You Don't Think Tapping Will Work for You (Pod #705)
If you have ever sat down to tap and thought, "this isn't going to work for me," you are not alone. That single thought stops more people from healing than any technique ever could. Knowing what to do when you don't think tapping will work is the first step toward getting unstuck. TL;DR: Key...

The one step tapping process (Pod #704)

Why do I feel worse after a round of tapping (Pod #703)
If you have ever finished a round of tapping and felt more upset than when you started, you are not doing it wrong. In fact, when you feel worse after tapping, it usually means something productive is happening underneath the surface. This is one of the most common questions I get from listeners,...
-
How you talk about emotions is getting in the way of healing (Pod #702)
We emotionally respond to the world based on the way we describe it. What this means is that your subconscious mind is taking cues about what is going on, not based on what you are thinking, but based on what you are saying. The most common version of this is a generalization. You might say...

Why I Don't Use The EFT Tapping Set-Up Phrase (Pod #701)
Why I Don't Use the EFT Setup Phrase (And What I Do Instead) If you've watched any of my tap-along videos, you've probably noticed something: I never start with the classic EFT setup phrase. That's a deliberate choice, and I get asked about it all the time. In this post, I want to explain exactly...

Tapping for regretting not tapping enough (Pod #700)
It can feel so discouraging when you have great tools at your disposal, like tapping, that you know will have a positive impact on your life…but you are not using them. This leads to self-recrimination AND hesitancy to use the tools in future for fear of failure, which means double the regret....

How Long Should You Tap on an Issue? When to Stop Tapping and Move On (Pod #699)

The way you are thinking about fear is all wrong (Pod #698)
Fear is our most basic emotion. Simply put, fear is our internal guidance pointing out what might harm us so that we can stay safe. We commonly think of it in terms of fight, flight, or freeze. All three of these responses are designed to shield us from danger. We fight to defend ourselves, we…

What to do when both choices are bad (Pod #696)
One of the reasons we resist taking action is that some actions simply can't be taken back. Our subconscious mind keeps us stuck because it's trying to figure out the perfect thing to do, but because the future is unknown, it's impossible to be certain. This leads us from thinking about the best...

Remembering to tap when you need it the most (Pod #694)
The perfect time to tap is in the moment, when you are overwhelmed with emotions…and it is also the hardest time to remember to tap. That's mainly because remembering to tap in the midst of strong emotions is difficult, but it is not the only reason. The second, powerful reason why you don't tap…

How to tap when you feel like crap (Pod #693)
One of the conundrums of tapping is the fact that you tap because you want to feel better, but you aren't as good at tapping when you feel bad because you are in a lower resource state. To put it another way, when you need tapping the most, you are the least effective version of yourself as a...
-
Why I tap to encourage unhealthy behaviors (Pod #692)
It is all too common for tappers to look back at their path to healing and think, "What on earth was I doing? I know better than that! Why do I keep making bad choices when I know exactly what to do?" This comes up most often in my individual coaching sessions when my clients talk about reaching...
-
Why you should celebrate with tapping (Pod #691)
If you are tapping, it almost always means you are focusing on something negative, like challenging emotions, physical pain, difficult times from your past, or limiting beliefs. This makes a lot of sense because tapping is a powerful tool for bringing about change and transformation. But just...
-
The key to tapping success is more than the right words (Pod #690)
When most of us first learned tapping we were taught to be "as specific as possible" when coming up with tapping phrases. This is sound advice, which is backed up by scientific research. But your success with tapping relies on more than just the words you say and what you focus on when you are...

When your expectations sabotage your tapping progress (Pod #689)
One of the most powerful tools in the healing and transformational tool box is having clear goals. This is true in big picture ways, such as what I would like to achieve this year, and small picture ways, such as what I would like to get out of this next round of tapping. I believe in this idea…

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 it...

Why you resist taking healthy action AND how to tap to clear your resistance (Pod #687)
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…

When other people's tapping success hurts your healing (Pod #686)
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…

Why your subconscious mind fights gratitude tapping (Pod #685)
One of the most common teachings in healing and personal transformation is the value and importance of gratitude. So much so that the idea of establishing a "gratitude practice" for yourself feels commonplace. The power of experiencing thankfulness and gratitude is unquestionably powerful. It can...
-
The one question you MUST ask before you start a round of tapping (Pod #684)
One of the most common reasons people do not tap more is because they don't know where to start. Feeling uncertain produces a subconscious hesitancy because our subconscious is worried that we will waste time and energy going in the wrong direction. This isn't a conscious thought, but a…

Create a fresh start in the new year without toothless New Year's Resolutions (Pod #683)
The start of a new year feels like the perfect time to reset and refocus. This often takes the form of New Year's resolutions. There is a great power in making a clear statement about what you want and why you want it. The problem is (and I'm sure you have experienced this yourself), simply…

Cozy Tapping (Pod #681)
In what has become a holiday tradition at Tapping Q&A, each year during the holiday season I put together a cozy tapping video. There are no words and you don't need to focus on an issue. Instead, just sit back, watch the roaring fire, and tap along. We did this last year and I was surprised at…

Tapping for the fear of missing out (FOMO) (Pod #680)
The "fear of missing out" (FOMO) isn't just some clever internet meme. FOMO is a real issue and it impacts most of us. Because of the internet and social media, we are constantly aware of what is going on everywhere. This creates a number of problems. First, it creates a sense of compare-anoia...
