  • Pod #146: Stages Of The Emotional Healing Process

    14/11/2014 Duration: 19min

    I was recently having drinks with a friend and we were talking about my time teaching anger management in jail. She asked if I would teach her one of the tools I taught the guys. So I explained one of my favorites. She responded, "I can see how that tool would useful, but that is just about emotions generally. How is that tool an 'anger management' tool?" And she was right. Every tool I taught in jail was about having a healthy emotional response. Yes, the guys were looking to manage their anger, but the tools and techniques we use for anger are no different than those we would use any other disproportionate emotion. The Real Goal When we are working with our emotional response, the goal of tapping is not to be emotionless. The goal is to have a proportional, well-informed response. Everything we do when tapping for our emotions is about returning them to balance. We can successfully use the same techniques for all emotions is because the process of transforming our emotional response is the same regardless o

  • Pod #145: Compare and Contrast EMDR v. EFT w/ Masha Bennett

    29/10/2014 Duration: 28min

    Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a healing protocol is gaining more and more acceptance worldwide.   I see it very much as a cousin protocol to EFT and tapping.   In the interview I have a conversation with Masha Bennett who is very experienced in both. She compares and contrasts the two protocols.  In doing so she shares what tappers can learn from EMDR and what MEDR practitioners can learn from tapping. Regardless how much tapping training and experience you have you are going to learn from this comparison.

  • Pod #143: A Comprehensive Approach To Health /w Elham Kashefi

    15/10/2014 Duration: 28min

    Personally, I don't like the terms *alternative medicine or complementary care.*   The things we do either are working toward helping us to maintain and improve our health or they are not.   Elham Kashefi recently watched her dear friend Tara succumb to cancer. During the time she was receiving treatment it became very clear that the medical system taking care of her was incomplete.   The system was built only to respond to things after they had gone wrong and was only able to respond in a limited number of ways. Based on this experience Elham founded the Tara Project with the goal of providing people with the information they need to recognize the things they can do to maintain and improve their health in daily life. It also aims to help people post-diagnosis by providing them with comprehensive information so that they can make informed choices about their health.

  • Pod #142: Tapping For Our Shadow Self w/ Kris Ferraro

    08/10/2014 Duration: 28min

    According to Wikipedia is:   >In Jungian psychology, the shadow or "shadow aspect" may refer to (1) an unconscious aspect of the personality which the conscious ego does not identify in itself. Because one tends to reject or remain ignorant of the least desirable aspects of one's personality, the shadow is largely negative, or (2) the entirety of the unconscious, i.e., everything of which a person is not fully conscious.   In Kris Ferraro’s client work she works directly with the shadow self. She has found it to be a very effective way to find and clear the parts of the self that hold us back from being who we want to be. In this interview she shares a simple process that you can use to tap with your shadow self

  • Pod #141: How To Approach Perfectionism with Tapping and EFT

    01/10/2014 Duration: 39min

    One of the key reasons my clients don't take action is because of perfectionistic tendencies. The tendencies show up because there is a part of our system that is trying to keep us safe. We are worried that if something isn't done just right then things will go wrong. We keep working and working until something is perfect so nothing goes wrong. The problem is that we will never arrive at perfection so therefore we will never act. A few weeks ago I was interviewed by Adele Wang about how I understand and approach perfectionism with my clients. If you struggle with perfectionistic tendencies I think you will find this point of view helpful. If you are interested in learning more about Adele's see below.

  • Pod #140: EFT For Social Anxiety w/ Helen Walker

    24/09/2014 Duration: 29min

    There is no question that our world is becoming increasingly complicated as our down time diminishes. Because we are being pulled in so many different directions with little time to process our experiences it is easy to feel disquieted. In extreme cases this can develop into full-blown social anxiety. In this conversation Helen Walker talks about how we can identify the roots of social anxiety in this sense of overwhelm and disconnection from what is important in life. If you are are feeling overwhelmed by your day you will find what Helen has to offer very helpful.

  • Pod #139: Tapping For Issues With Many Aspects w/ Lindsay Kenny

    03/09/2014 Duration: 43min

    We often find ourselves in need to tap for issues that have many aspects either because the issue is so large or because it has unfolded over a long time. For example: an auto accident that is impacting your health, your finances, and your ability to work a divorce poor financial decisions that have left you feeling embarrassed and powerless It can be tough knowing where to start and how to tap for complex issues. EFT Master Lindsay Kenny has created a simple tool using the image of a tree to create a structure for our tapping. In this conversation we talk about (and demonstrate) how the straightforward approach can be used for multifaceted issues with many aspects.

  • Pod #138: Working With Childhood Traumas That We Don't Remember All The Details Of w/ Gwyneth Moss

    20/08/2014 Duration: 29min

    We hear it over and over again in our tapping training. “The more specific you are with your issue, the more effective the healing will be.” “The earlier the memory you can find related to the issue, the faster you will be able to release it.” For the most part these statements are true, but what happens when you are dealing with something general, like low self-esteem, or you are working on an issue without any memories attached to it? This week I talk with Gwyneth Moss who has developed a gentle technique for getting in touch with our younger selves in a way that allows us to do healing work without having to know specific memories.

  • Pod #137: Building Communities of Support w/ Jondi Whitis

    06/08/2014 Duration: 29min

    We do not live in a vacuum. We are impacted by the issues others struggle with and vice versa. The healing process is also not something that takes place independently of others. Often our fastest route to healing is by walking that journey with others. Jondi Whitis has seen the impact of trauma on a community and the impact of a community on an individual’s trauma firsthand. She has worked with both the families of those directly impacted by the New Town shooting and also with veterans and veterans’ groups around the issue of PTSD. In this interview she shares what she has learned from this work, what can be applied to our own healing process, and how we can reach out to others. There is a great deal of wisdom to be learned from Jondi’s experiences. I encourage you to listen and take advantage of it.

  • Pod #136: How To Clear All Aspects Of An Issue, Not Just The Obvious Ones w/ Linda Wood

    23/07/2014 Duration: 27min

    There is a counterbalance to most things in life. Success to failure. Happy to sad. Action to rest. Growth to deterioration. Often when we tap we are working only on the part we see as negative, thereby addressing only half of this balance. Even though the negative side is most obvious and painful there are often tappable issues on both sides. For example, I might feel frustrated that I don’t have a better job, but there is also a part of me that fears the challenges a new job might bring. Feeling frustrated about not having a good job is an obvious thing to tap for, but if we may miss the flip side, which is our fear of the unknown. If we don’t clear both sides it will be hard for us to take action. In this interview Linda Woods presents a straightforward approach to looking at an issue from both sides. If you work through the simple steps of this tool you will not only identify new aspects but will also have documentation of your discovery, allowing to you to come back again and again to ensure you haven’t

  • Pod #135: Tuning Into Our Bodies For Information w/ Carol Tuttle

    09/07/2014 Duration: 27min

    When I am tapping on my issues it is my conscious mind that most often gets in the way. The conscious mind is wired to figure out explanations for what is going on and won't rest until it has done so. This becomes problematic when the reason it has decided is behind an issue is wrong. I have seen this with countless clients. They come to me because they can't seem to get tapping to work on their issue. After a little investigation it becomes clear they had been approaching the wrong root cause. Knowing that the conscious mind isn't always the best at figuring out the healing path, what are we to do? In this interview I talk with Carol Tuttle about how we can use the information and wisdom of our physical body to identify the right focus for our tapping work.

  • Pod #134: Having A Plan With Your Tapping w/ Gwyneth Moss

    25/06/2014 Duration: 35min

    Knowing how to tap is not enough. We need to have a plan when we approach an issue. In this interview, Founding EFT Master Gwyneth Moss shares a simple and elegant approach that you can use for every tapping session.    Whether you are new to tapping or have been tapping for decades you will find this 4-step approach useful and it is so easy you can start using it immediately.

  • Pod #133: EFT For Our Goal w/ Steve Wells

    11/06/2014 Duration: 39min

    I love having conversations with Steve Wells. When we started this one we decided that we’d talk about how we can use tapping to improve the quality of our working lives. In the end we used the issues and obstacles we face at work to explore a much larger topic of how we can use tapping to take action AND how we can use taking action to help us uncover those things we need to tap on. It turned into a great discussion about goals.  Put simply, if you would like to take actions to improve your life and are having a hard time doing so, then you should listen to this conversation.

  • Pod #132: EFT For Animals Transitioning Into A New Home w/ Susan Peach

    07/05/2014 Duration: 27min

    When a new animal enters a family it can be stressful for the animal and the family alike. The animal must deal with new surroundings, routines, expectations, and relationships. The family has to adjust to a change of dynamic because of the addition of a new personality. In this interview I talk with animal and tapping expert Susanne Peach about what you can do before and after the addition of a new animal to your family to make the transition easier for everyone involved. If you are new to tapping for animals, make sure you also check out my conversation with Susanne on how to tap surogately for animals

  • Pod #131: Tapping For Relationships w/ Dawson Church

    30/04/2014 Duration: 33min

    If you have been around tapping and EFT for any length of time then more than likely you are aware of Dawson Church's work. He has been on the forefront of research being done to prove tapping’s efficacy and tapping best practices. He has also been very involved in conducting research into best practice for practitioners. When I approached Dawson about doing another interview he insisted upon talking about relationships. When I asked why he said, "It is something I am really passionate about. When people have stronger relationships they have better lives." You can't argue with that! This interview isn't your typical interview about relationships. Forever the scientist, Dawson talks about how what is going on in our brain impacts the type and quality of relationships that we have. We then discuss how we can use tapping to impact the brain in ways that directly lead us to find the right relationships. It is not a path that I would have expected us to go down in a conversation about tapping and relationships, bu

  • Pod #130: How To Use EFT To Move You To Take Action

    23/04/2014 Duration: 47min

    The first weekend of April the 2nd annual Spring Energy Event was held outside NYC. My friend Jondi Whitis did an awesome job once again of putting together a great event. This year I was asked to talk about how we can use tapping to move ourselves to taking the action we want. My presentation was broken into three parts: Part 1: Tapping For Action v. Tapping For Relief Part 2: The 9 Immutable Laws Of Taking Action Part 3: 4 Ways To Use Tapping To Move You Towards Taking Action The version of the handout I created for the talk had a number of blanks for the audience to fill in while listening. I have provided the completed notes below. If you are looking for help taking action you will find over 200 audios, classes, and resources in the Ruach Center designed specifically to move you taking action.

  • Pod #129 (part 2): Tapping For Luck w/ Rue Hass

    16/04/2014 Duration: 23min

    [Note: This is part 2 of our conversation. Listen to part 1 here.] I am guessing as you read the title of this week's podcast you are thinking, "Luck is an odd thing to tap for. They say try it on anything, but luck… really?" I would agree with you. When my friend and EFT Master Rue Hass recommended this as the topic for our conversation I was curious. In the end the conversation turned out to be so fruitful that I needed to split it into two parts. When Rue is talking about luck she is talking about how we access the opportunities around us to move towards our goals. Even though I personally wouldn't use the word luck to describe what she is talking about you will hear in our conversation that I do agree with her disposition. You will find this conversation in contrast to most of the conversation around an attraction (and law of attraction) world view.

  • Pod #128: EFT For Fear Of Failure And Fear of Success w/ Annabel Fisher

    26/03/2014 Duration: 29min

    On the surface it might not seem like an obvious connection, but in many ways fear of failure and fear of success are the opposite sides of the same coin. Fear of failure is concerned about what goes wrong when things don't work out.  Fear of success is concerned about what goes wrong when things do work out. (And, yes, things can still go wrong when we are successful.) Both fears keep us from taking action, believing it will keep us out of harm’s way. In this interview with Annabel Fisher we talk about the fears of failure and success, how they are related, and how we can tap for them.
