Why I tap in is such an "odd" way (Pod #729)

Tapping Q & A - Getting the most out of tapping and EFT ·

2026/10/09

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 in what order you tap on them. This week on the podcast, I share lots of different ways you can tap and how you can get deeper results when you play around with them. Support the podcast

Tapping Q & A - Getting the most out of tapping and EFT ·

2026/10/01

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 subconscious. The problem is not clearing the limiting belief. Instead the problem is knowing what the limiting beliefs are because the subconscious mind doesn't think about them as limiting beliefs. Instead, the

2026/09/28

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 keeps you safe. Some of those beliefs are genuinely useful. My belief that tigers are not kind and cuddly keeps me on the right side of the fence at the zoo. The trouble comes when a belief is

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 unusual. A common concern when tapping for this sort of anxiety is that working with the details will only worsen how we feel. This week in the podcast, I share a simple tool to tap for that anxiety and

2026/08/27

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 can't tap negative thoughts in. Even so, it can feel heavy and even discouraging to be tapping constantly on feeling bad or on what is going wrong in your life. Preferring to tap on positive phrases makes

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 work we can do when tapping. I am currently in the midst of doing the interviews for the 2026 version of the Integrated Tapping Summit.

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 myself". As EFT spread the phrase evolved into "Even though I have this issue I deeply and completely love and accept myself" for many. My issue has never been with the idea behind the phrase. I love the

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 as planned, frustration makes itself known. Usually it starts as a slow simmer in the background that then grows to the point where it's difficult to focus and function well. It makes sense to tap when this

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 tapping for a limiting belief, physical pain, or feeling overwhelmed in the moment. This is a great approach except when you don't know exactly what you need to be tapping on. Recently, I sat down to tap

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 my readers: I've been tapping on and off for years. Recently, when tapping, I am quickly lost in a quagmire of thoughts and emotions and can't see a direction to go in. I have been wallowing in something

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 possible but failing to take action. And it isn't down to external forces preventing you…it is all happening inside your head.

Tapping Q & A - Getting the most out of tapping and EFT ·

2026/06/04

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 time the circumstance fades, but the story stays. It stops being a conclusion and starts feeling like a plain truth about who we are. That is what makes these identities so hard to tap on. Trying to tap on "I

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 that wasn't a verdict on whether tapping could help.

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?" This is a more complicated question that it might seem at first glance. This is a question about skill, approach, and safety.

One of the most difficult times to tap is when you have had a major emotional backslide. You are tapping daily and feeling the breakthroughs during your sessions. You can see positive change happening in your daily life. AND then, out of nowhere, you have a crappy day. The progress you have made seems to evaporate overnight and even the smallest things are driving you crazy. Part of you wants to throw in the towel because it all feels like a giant waste of your time and energy. This is a super
