When You're Afraid Tapping Might Work (Pod #668)

from Tapping Q & A - Getting the most out of tapping and EFT · host Gene Monterastelli

I know this sounds strange, but you're not afraid tapping won't work. You're actually afraid it might. In this episode, I dig into a truth that has come up repeatedly in my conversations with clients and students. Even when we know how powerful tapping can be, something inside stops us from doing it as often as we could. That something, I've come to realize, is fear of change itself. It's not that we don't want to heal and to experience the change it brings. But even positive change feels uncertain and uncertainty feels unsafe to the subconscious, which is always on alert for what might go wrong. So instead of leaning in, we hesitate. We stay stuck. This week, I share a simple, powerful way to get underneath that resistance. It starts with just one sentence: Even though I know it's not logically true, emotionally it feels unsafe to be successful because... That single prompt can open up space where you feel stuck, even if nothing else has worked before. Not only do I explain how using the phrase is the key to unlocking our resistance to tap, we also do a bunch of tapping so you clear that resistance right now. If you've been meaning to tap more but just haven't been able to start, I hope this episode gives you the nudge and permission to begin again. Support the podcast!
