[Music] today we are going to explore how past events traumas and feelings of Shame and the way we hold it all in can have a profound impact on our physical health and more importantly how we can release these burdens with tapping to open the path to Healing to lead the way we are speaking to Julie schiffman from Julie shiffman dcom Julie is a globally renowned EFT tapping practitioner with over 25 years of experience empowering countless individuals to conquer physical and emotional hurdles with a wealth of expertise she's guided thousands through transformative counseling sessions if you

back again and again is because out of all the people that I interview I think you are up there in the top when it comes to the amount of clients you've worked with and the breakthroughs that you've had especially especially in this field especially when we're talking about health and healing can you tell me a little bit about how you started tapping helping people break through these Health barriers and what you discovered in the process absolutely so um I love sharing my story because it really was something that I fell upon tapping and it's because
I I'm a therapist I have my master's degree in social work and I was working with um with children I was working with teenagers and I was having panic attacks while I was um while I was working with them and it was like fresh out of grad school and you know here I am like I'm all excited to be working and you know being a therapist and I'm like falling apart at the seems and so to make a really long story short I um I went and sought help and someone helped me who kind of
introduced me to the natural world right the natural world of healing and um I didn't know anything about that I hadn't been in before or anything else and there were some things that I really needed to deal with and so um this person had introduced me to um Dr Rola and I started working for him and he introduced me to tapping he introduced me to EFT tapping and Gary Craig and how it all started and um and it helped me to heal unbelievably I mean it helped me to heal through panic attacks but it also
helped me on a on other levels I mean I I had a bout with cancer early on around the same time and tapping really helped me through that as well and it taught me that I really needed to really dig deep and look at what is going on underneath you know my body was speaking to me with panic attacks it was speaking to me with cancer and you know other things and tapping opened up a whole new world for me and I started working I I left working with teenagers at the time and I started
working with clients who were struggling with autoimmune issues and with pain and with all sorts of symptoms people were their bodies were speaking to them and started using tapping with them and the results were really unbelievable when we started to when you ask questions and when you look at what's really going on what is why is your body speaking to you this way our bodies don't just naturally wake up in the morning and start speaking to us with neck pain or back pain or knee pain or autoimmune disease or Cancer all of those things those
things are um physi logically it builds up you know our body has a threshold for how much stress that we can carry and how many um and emotionally how much burden we can carry and suddenly what happens is our body start to speak to us and louder and louder until we have to do something about it and tapping is one of the best ways that I know to really dig in to ask ourselves questions to reconnect ourselves with our body and really listen to our body and listen to what we haven't been listening to and
um it's really unbelievable what tapping has done and what I've seen how it I've seen it work for other people as well as myself so you know in the 25 probably close to 30 years now that I've been doing this um it never ceases to amazing it never ceases to amaze me it really is um it's such a gift that keeps I giving I think it's one of the reasons that tapping has been spreading so fast is because of those stories cuz when you don't have pain all of a sudden it's so different than subjectively
being like Oh I feel a little less stressed like you physically feel different and the thing I the what I hear again and again and you might have the same experience but people do this work with capping and then they look back and they're like I'm grateful that I had that Health scare because it forced me to look at things I was ignoring and now I have a sense of Freedom that I never would have had if my body wasn't forcing me to look closer absolutely I mean there's just no question you I look at
the the things that have just happened to me in my own life and I look back now I mean what an Incredible Gift I mean this this um experience that I had briefly as I said like this blip with cancer obviously I didn't want it at the time my kids were super young my youngest was two and I wouldn't have asked for that for anything but the gift that it has given me in the process to actually I mean heal so much of like childhood and things that have happened and relationships and how to really
step into my body and own who I am and I mean introduced me to tapping so you um which allowed me to help other people and create this ripple effect around the world so it you know whenever we have things that we think that we are in the dark you know you just sometimes don't know what is around the corner with that and sometimes you just need to work through it to get to the other side which is the brightest light you will ever see yeah Julie with all the people that you've worked with for
25 years did you begin to discover a common pattern something that really needed to be addressed for people to have that shift they're looking for you know I think more or less it is about connecting with ourselves listening to ourselves at the end of the day we all carry what we would call secrets of some sort right things that we don't share with other people and I find this so often with people that I'm working with is that we'll be working on something you know they'll they'll present with a physical some usually people find me
because of something physical that's going on and almost always so commonly people it they'll start to unfold they start to listen to themselves they start to relax and they'll start to share things that maybe maybe they haven't shared with anyone or they start to express emotions that they haven't been able to express before and that's the key really in all of this because when we don't express what is going on in our mind when we don't express emotions that have been trapped and stored and unprocessed our body very often will start to process it for
us and again we don't wake up in the morning looking for pain in our body um we don't just pain just doesn't just suddenly appear out of nowhere you know it it it doesn't work like that um yes sometimes we might sleep funny we might turn funny but that is because there our body has been carrying a burden of some sort that has created a weakness that has then allowed our body to sort of um that threshold weakens you know and so the common thread in working with people that I have worked with it is
it is always addressing the underlying emotional components the secrets that they have kept um emotions that haven't been processed and nine out of 10 times when we work through that the relief that people feel is immeasurable yeah it's physical it's emotional it's you know at every level and now we're seeing that the research is showing that as we begin to understand how the body works we were seeing how emotions and stress impact hormones impact sleep impact you know cortisol levels and so much right and so I think it's so important that we combine everything that
we have we combine the knowledge of working with doctors as well as looking at the emotional element I always find it so helpful to hear other people's stories because it gives you more hope and encouragement to do the tapping can you just share some examples of the Transformations you've seen when people did address these secrets with capping sure so um one off the top of my head um a few years ago I had the honor of working with a client who was challenged with an autoimmune disease and autoimmune challenges are typically the body's way of
attacking itself that's that's how we look at that right and this woman was in her um late 60s and struggled with a lot of different sympt symptoms that stemmed from her digestive tract her immune system and her endocrine system but her body was really speaking to her or rather screaming at her in so many ways and she was seeking help to regain her health in general but she was um what was showing up for her is that she had many infections in her throat specifically she had constant sore throats she had straps she had severe
dry mouth um canker sores and so what she was really it was it was all kind of in this area and which was just interesting it's just something that I took note of right and as we typically do as I do as a therapist you know we ask a lot of questions we become detectives and so asking her certain questions around are there times in your life when you felt like you didn't have a voice or maybe you felt like you weren't heard at certain times or did you suffer any trauma in the mouth or
the throat are there things that you weren't able to talk about these were just sort of the general things that I was asking and about halfway through questions conversation doing a little tapping and she said I have to stop you here she said there is something she said there's a secret that I've been holding on to for over 50 years and I've never told anyone no one except my best friend that's it and she didn't tell her parents she didn't tell her boyfriend she told one friend and she had so much anxiety around even sharing
it because she hadn't even you know she here she was in her 60s she was married she had kids and um it was so painful for her so we did a bunch of tapping just to help her to sort of calm down and to um get back into her with that and she couldn't get the words out and she had so much shame and guilt and fear so I just held a space for her we did some tapping and she told me the story of how she had an abortion when she was 16 and she
basically went through this alone her best friend went with her and she never could tell her parents because they wouldn't support her she didn't tell her boyfriend cuz she thought that he would break up with her and she had so much shame in Guild and she felt as though she had created you know the biggest sin and she felt like a bad person all the feelings that you can imagine and so we spent a few sessions addressing all of the emotions around this but not only the experience but the fact that she had to keep
this as a secret for so long throughout her entire life and once we helped her to resolve so many emotions around the experience help her create a sense of forgiveness with herself she was able to find her voice and set herself free her whole life changed and she was able to share this news with her husband she was able to even share it with her grown children and of course they were extremely forgiving and understanding but she the bottom line is she set herself free and suddenly her ailments started to improve no more canker sores
no more sore throats no more infections in the throat and suddenly she was able to speak up and own her power and finally after all these years she was able to let go and her body got the memo her body got the memo that it was okay to heal so when we come back to Secrets when we connect with the thoughts the experiences the memories the things that we don't talk about or rather the things that we don't process right we don't have to talk about everything that's ever happened to us but if we don't
process it it it can impact us it can affect us so profoundly and this is why it's so important the secrets that we keep can manifest into physiological emotional emotional mental suffering in our go goal here today is to support everyone who's listening today and to help help you to set yourself free MH it's a great example and in that case it was a very clear secret it was something that she wasn't sharing and she was holding on to I imagine though there's other situations where you're holding on to something but you might not necessarily
label it a secret you know sometimes it's like open Secrets you know that everybody in your family knows but nobody talks about or a secret of not feeling worthy or feeling a certain emotion can you talk a little bit about just the variety of of what we can feel so that we I just don't want people to think like it has to be that one secret CU I don't think it always shows up like that every time correct totally agree with you there it runs the gamut right I mean there are the little the little
things and then there are the big things and there are things that we just don't talk about maybe we don't talk about it because we're protecting ourself we we're we don't talk about it because we're protecting somebody else um we don't talk about it because there's shame around it um whatever that feels like and I'm sure as we talk about this people in there even if I as I was like thinking about what we were going to be doing today and preparing for it even for myself and thinking about um things in my own life
that I haven't shared or that I wouldn't share and you know that I have emotions around and so there are just things sometimes that we don't feel good about then that can can cause unworthiness it can cause sadness it can cause grief and shame is all is is a big one right shame is really a big one the things that we feel like we are ashamed for who we are for what we've believed for um for things that we've thought for mistakes that we've made I mean shame plays such a big part in this and
um and first I I want to tell people that there's nothing wrong with you for having these thoughts or for having or for things that have happened or for mistakes that have happened there's nothing wrong with you there's no shame there's no blame around this but pay attention to yourselft talk and when you notice that you're talking to yourself in a certain way if you notice that there are things that you have been um looping around you know um sometimes we don't even notice that we're doing it but recognize that you have the power to
shift this and you know one of the questions that I would ask you is are you in pain because of either things that have happened things that have been done the mistakes that you have made if are you experiencing any pain because of this and this can be emotional pain physical pain mental pain do you find it something you just can't let go of or you can't move through you don't know how you know you don't know how to shift this you don't know how to shift into something else and then I would say it's
so important you know reach out to someone who can help you someone who can who can you can trust someone you feel safe with someone who can create a space for you to just Express what's happening and how you feel yeah that's so healing one of the things you said earlier when you were sh sharing that story is that when this came to light you spent a lot of time just tapping on creating more ease in the body getting back in the body even before she shared her secret your main focus was on creating comfort
and I think that's so important to point out because when we start doing this work I think one of the reasons we avoid the work is because it does feel too much and it feels uncomfortable and here your sharing that actually where we can start with the tapping is just bringing more comfort so that it can feel like we can have a conversation with someone else or even with ourselves um and kind of admit how we feel in this place that feels safe and nurturing and loving and so I would love to do some tapping
that can help everyone who's watching this feel like they can have these conversations they can explore in their own mind um they can reflect from a place of feeling really loved and comforted absolutely and comfort is that's an important piece of this right because you have to feel comfortable to be able to share things that have been living inside of you that feel so painful so let's and I want to and compassion right Comfort is one piece of it and having coming back to a place of selflove and compassion for yourself as you go through
this is so important in this so um let's do a round of tapping here let's take a big deep breath in and release it and when you're ready tapping on the side of the hand even though things may have happened that I feel badly about even though things may have happened that I feel badly about maybe things I can't share with anyone maybe things that I can't share with anyone maybe things I even have some shame around even things I might have some shame around I accept myself I accept myself and I honor where I've
been and I honor where I've been even though there may be things that I keep to myself even though there may be things that I keep to myself which have caused me pain or suffering which have caused me pain and suffering it can be exhausting to carry this Al I accept myself I accept myself and I'm open to having kindness and compassion and I'm open to having kindness and compassion as I let go as I Let Go things may have happened things may have happened things I'm not proud of things I'm not proud of and
I may have some shame around things have happened and I may have some shame around things that have happened or maybe how I've behaved or maybe how I've behaved I've kept it quiet I've kept it quiet and I've kept it in my heart and I've kept it in my heart and my body as well and my body as well and these feelings may not have had any place to go and these feelings might not have had any any place to go and I may be hard on myself and I might be hard on myself and
I may be holding myself back from living my best life and I may be holding myself back from living my best life because of things that have happened because of things that have happened and I may be stuck in pain or suffering and I may be stuck in pain and suffering and perhaps I even numb myself and perhaps I even numb myself maybe I have felt unworthy maybe I have felt unworthy but I'm creating a shift right here right now but I'm creating a shift right here right now because I have the power of choice
because I have the Power of Choice regardless of circumstances regardless of circumstances I am open to stepping into self-compassion I am open to stepping into self-compassion I am open to having kindness for myself I'm open to having kindness for myself as I explore the possibility as I explore the possibility that I can ease into letting go that I can ease in to letting go it is so time for me to heal it is so time for me to heal even if I'm not ready to go there yet even if I'm not ready to go there
yet I'm setting myself up to embrace self-compassion I'm setting myself up to embrace self-compassion I'm embracing self-compassion even though I made a mistake I'm embracing self-compassion even though I made a mistake I'm embracing self-compassion even though others may not agree with me I'm embracing self-compassion even though others might not agree with me I embrace self-compassion even though I may be misunderstood I embrace self-compassion even though I may be misunderstood I embrace self-compassion even though some things have been hard I embrace self-compassion even though some things have been hard I'm finding a softness I'm finding a
softness a soft Landing to cushion my feelings a soft Landing to cushion my feelings a soft Landing that feels like a hug a soft Landing that feels like a hug a soft Landing that is protection for my heart a soft Landing that is protection for my heart a soft Landing that is especially for me a soft Landing that's especially for me a soft Landing that is safe a soft Landing that is safe a soft Landing that is filled with kindness a soft Landing that is filled with kindness a soft Landing that is filled with compassion
a soft Landing that is filled with compassion I'm holding a soft space for me I'm holding a soft space for me to consider healing now to consider healing now this is for me this is for me one step at a time one step at a time peace peace go take a big deep breath in here let it go and just see how that feels that was so beautiful I was also just getting te like thinking about everybody that's tapping my God I said don't me to cry because when you're suffering especially with physical ailments with
anything with emotional and physical you can feel so alone and you can feel like your feelings are just your own and when we have these conversations and we do this tapping I feel like it connects all of us to realize that we're not alone and that no matter what happened to us in the past that we can create this compassion and this soft landing and that every single one of us deserves that and just you know this tapping meditation I'm going to put it in the workbook so people can come back to it again and
again but even if the only thing people got away from our time together was what we just did I feel like that is so empowering and opens the door to healing and that's what's so amazing about you know you guys putting on the tapping World Summit right is that it brings so many people together and it helps people discover that they are so not alone even though it feels so alone it feels so alone but you you know you get on the platform and you see other pe people's comments and you see like oh my
God you know I feel that way too or that happened to me or and just even recognizing as we do the tapping that we're all just in this together we are we're all just in this together and every there's not one person who is not human and doesn't feel emotions it doesn't struggle and doesn't go through hard things at times and also you can go through hard things and also be able to connect with comfort and connect with peace and connect with joy and still have those elements and allowing yourself all of that that is
part of the human experience it's how we grow it's how we evolve it's how we learn and to just really Embrace that right to really Embrace that and see it as such a gift yes yes thank you for that that gift that tabbing was so beautiful and now that we're in I feel like we're in this like protect bubble like everyone that to we're just all in this little safe bubble where we can continue this conversation and I want to talk about from this safe place I want to talk about shame for a moment and
the impact that shame has on our secrets um and how we can use tapping for that yeah it's a big topic it's a big topic and I mean we talk about secrets and as you said you know there's there's a gamut here it really runs the gamut it's things that we don't talk about it's it as secret as anything that we don't want anyone to know about right it's the things you've done the things you've thought the things you wish didn't happen mistakes you've made the things you don't want anything to know about anybody to
know about um and some people even keep who they are as a secret they um who they love um their sexuality their lifestyle how they see themselves in the mirror all this so-called weirdness that we think about ourselves right those are some of those things that we may not share with anybody and we don't have to and there are many variations as we said right there are very small and there are some things that are very big that we don't share and when you think about why it seems so impossible to share with anyone it
is most likely not always but it's most likely because of some shame around any or all of this for some reason we have come to believe people have come to believe that they've created a story or they've created a story around the fact that they are shameful because of who they are or because of any of the things that we just talked about because of the shame the guilt the embarrassment and all the other emotions that you may be carrying we may we they you may be conditioned to keep it locked inside that other people
maybe can't handle certain things other people can't handle the big emotions they can't handle feeling a certain way other people in your life may have not been able to accept you for who you are or hold a space because of things that have happened hold a space for forgiveness or even compassion as we talked about and sometimes the anticipation of the pain that will be caused if they share it can be so big whether it be for themselves or for others can feel way worse than just holding on to the burden of it and I
think that's so big to understand that sometimes we are willing to sacrifice a part of ourself and and who we are so that other people don't have to be uncomfortable or disappointed and you know if there's one message in this I would love for people to come away with knowing that you are you you are who is most important there's nobody more important than you and when you can Embrace who you are and there will be people as we all know there will be people who may not like you who may be disappointed who may
not like your behavior or what you have done there will be people who are who are that way who disagree and again how much pain are you willing to endure in order to protect someone else I can't tell you how many times I have tap with someone who was really struggling with something internally like a secret something they didn't want to share they were trying to protect somebody else or even themselves and when they finally did share it whether it be with that particular person whether it be with a loved one a therapist it does
not matter who you choose to share it with somebody safe is what I would say um the relief they felt was so massive so massive to be able to unload that burden is I mean it's just so incredibly freeing on so many levels and you would really be surprised or not surprised at how people are able to heal when they're able to unload that burden I think people don't realize the burdens that we carry emotional burden story burden memory burden belief you know these burdens that we carry they really can take a toll on us
and I don't say this to scare anybody not at all right I say it to empower people and to recognize that you do have the power to set yourself free you know it's feeling safe to do it it's feeling brave it's having courage to do that but um we all have the power to do it yeah yeah so what is the what happens to shame when we share things I mean I think it's an interesting concept that like shame really lives in the dark right and so and I do think it's also important to emphasize
and you have been but like finding that safe place what would you just say to someone who's like all right I want to bring this to light I don't want to live in the this dark anymore but I'm not quite sure where my safe place is yet yeah I mean tapping can really come in here first of all um because when we tapping can take away the charge it can take away some of the emotions that sort of live under shame and that's why I stress so much that it is important sometimes especially with trauma
to do it with someone you don't necessarily want or need to do this alone um and it's reaching out it's reaching out and do you have one person in your life do you have one person that you can share something with it doesn't have to be any big deep dark deep secret right creating a space for yourself to know that it's okay it's okay to not be perfect it's okay to not be like everybody else it's okay to be who you are it's okay to feel what you need to feel and sometimes it does feel
painful sometimes it does right I mean there's no good or bad emotions but there are definitely emotions some feel really good and some feel bad and when you notice if you notice that you're in a state of feeling bad whether it be shame or any other emotion that's when I really encourage people to tap because it really can help the more that you go through that process of being honest and truthful with yourself even if you're not going to open it up to anybody else again that's okay you have permission not to share with everybody
not everybody is worthy and deserving of the things that we think and feel and what our secrets are yeah absolutely yes um but to honor yourself and when you feel these feelings to just say it's okay for me to feel this way you have permission to feel this way you also have permission to find peace in this yeah I often catch myself if I'm having a a a problem with something and I'm just trying to create a a solution in my head and I'm thinking through a problem and then I have to stop myself and
be like you haven't tapped yet stop trying to you're in the energy of the problem you're feeling stressed that that's not where the solution comes from it's really when we quiet our mind and we quiet our body that we gain that Clarity and we navigate it maybe we don't have that specific safe person in the moment but let me tell you when you open yourself up to a desire and you're in this very calm space where you're like I this is what I want to find I want to find someone that I can share this
with you find it you know maybe not that same day but you attract it because you are in that space and have that Clarity of what you can recognize that safe space cuz you're creating it within yourself absolutely and I love that so much you know and I I I'm totally with you on the wait you haven't tapped on this yet totally with you on that um and I always laugh at myself right because it's something obviously I talk about I teach you know tap with people all the time and all of a sudden I'll
be like ah you know what yeah maybe I should tap on that um but one of the things I often bring into my own tapping and even with people that I tap with is like just take a breath and just like open Your Heart Right drop out of your head and into your heart and so often when we're able to do that when you're able to just close your eyes get out of being up here drop down here um so much Clarity the word you use Clarity which is such a beautiful word and it's so
empowering to just when you open your heart so much Clarity can come in and it's such a good feeling and it does provide answers and it does provide people and it does provide support in remembering that we are always supported we're always supported even if we don't feel supported in the moment um we're we're supported by the universe we're supported by Source or you know if people however people want to view that or see that I would urge people to come back to that over and over again well I want to fit a lot more
tapping in and I'd love to do some tapping on the feeling of Shame yeah okay um yeah the gift of Shame is powerful and I'm going to call it a gift because it is one even though it can feel really bad there's a real gift in it so um take a breath in and release it and when you're ready even though I've been carrying shame even though I've been carrying shame and it's a heavy emotion for me and it's a heavy emotion for me I love and accept myself I love and accept myself and I'm
remembering that I'm guided and supported on my journey and I'm remembering that I'm guided and supported on my journey even though I've been carrying this around for a long time even though I've been carrying this around for a long time and I feel the burden of this shame and I feel the burden of this shame in my body in my body in my life in my life I accept myself I accept myself and I I am safe to trust the process and I am safe to trust the process to let this go to let this
go things may have happened things may have happened things I haven't shared with anyone things I haven't shared with anyone maybe things I say I'll carry with me to my grave maybe things I've said that I'll carry with me to my grave and it weighs on me and it weighs on me this is a burden I carry this is a burden I carry and maybe it's about a memory and maybe it's about a memory maybe it's about my life style maybe it's about my lifestyle maybe it's about my sexuality or who I love maybe it's
about my sexuality or who I love maybe it's about my body maybe it's about my body perhaps there are things I regret perhaps there are things I regret or something I wish I could take back or something I wish could take back maybe I worry I'll get in trouble maybe I worry I'll get in trouble what if they won't understand what if they won't understand what if they don't believe me what if they don't believe me this fear that I won't be loved this fear that I won't be loved this fear that I won't be
forgiven this fear that I won't be forgiven all the shame I carry with me all the shame I carry with me and it creat a lot of vulnerability and it creates a lot of vulnerability and I'm open to stepping into myself and I'm open to stepping into myself and appreciating who I am anyway and appreciating who I am I may choose to share this with someone else I may choose to share this with someone else or I may choose to never share this or I might choose to never share this either way is okay either
way is okay but I'm open to finding peace but I'm open to finding peace I'm feeling guided and protected to find peace I'm feeling guided and protected to find peace and I may think that by keeping this to myself and I may think that by keeping this to myself I am keeping the peace I am keeping the peace but the mental space this takes up for me but the mental space this takes up for me maybe taking toll maybe taking a toll on my body on my body on my thoughts or my life on my
thoughts or my life I may be carrying shame or secrets in myself I may be carrying shame and secrets in myself I'm open to making a new Choice today I'm open to making a new Choice today right here right here I am worthy and deserving of being healthy I am worthy and deserving of being healthy he fath I am worthy and deserving of letting go of the past I am worthy and deserving of letting go of the past I am worthy and deserving of setting myself free I am worthy and deserving of setting myself free

have just not admitted to ourselves and that can be healing this is what I love about tapping is that no one knows you better than yourself and when you do this war you can trust your own guidance of what feels good and walk in that direction absolutely absolutely yeah I love it's beautiful that's beautiful um let's do some more tapping I want to squeeze more okay um okay what I love about everything we've done so far is it has all been comforting and when I I knew that I was going to ask you about shame
so I was like wanted to do tapping to feel more relief and comfort but to be honest we just tapped on shame and I feel relief and comfort that which just shows how peaceful this process can be and then it doesn't have to be like fully going into our pain that like this can be about comforting and nurturing ourselves and creating the safe place um that being said I I love to do some more tapping so I'm going to leave it up to you on like what direction you'd like to take it in what you
think would help as we close our time together awesome I would love to just connect with um empowering ourselves right some of the stuff you know you and I are just having this conversation there are people really important special beautiful people who are listening to this and things might have gotten stirred up as we were talking about this and um and I want to say number one that's okay and that is a gift um and reach out for help if you need but um I would love to just end on helping you to um feel
a sense and a source of comfort through all of this um and to empower you so what I would have you do here is take a big deep breath in and just tapping on the side of the hand I don't want you to repeat after me yet just wanting everyone to connect with your breath and feel the chair Beneath You couch and just recognizing that you are supported even by your chair or what you're sitting in and just allowing your body to settle in relaxing your shoulders relaxing your jaw your forehead really relaxing your stomach

oh man like how what's the timeline on this how long is this one going to take and it's usually not this direct line it's like you know we there's this there's this quote that I love and I quot it all of the time but it's an Abraham Hicks quote which is don't seek healing seek relief and the reason I love it is because it reminds me to not continuously measure my Pro progress in my healing but measure my how many moments I can find relief and how many moments I can find better how I can
feel better and how that begins to add up and then suddenly the process of healing doesn't feel so overwhelming because we're finding ways to feel good in the moment any other advice for those who are embarking on this journey of healing and what you want them to remember when they feel like it's not going exactly as planned yeah I I want to bounce off of what you just said which is that healing is not linear healing there are the ups and the downs and there's sideways and cockeyed and slanted I mean it just is like
all over the place and looping around and some days you have great days and you feel so good and you know a few hours later you could be like H I'm in like such a slump you know something happens you see something someone says something and lean into what feels good as Jessica is saying always if when you lean into what feels good and if you don't know how to get there tapping is one of the best best ways we know and tapping only works when we do it and so you know even if it
just means tapping and breathing if you don't know what to say there's nothing wrong with you you're not doing it wrong you're not doing it badly even just tapping and breathing can help to settle your nervous system settle your body and it can create Clarity for you to take the next step into feeling good I love this this was incredible thank you so much for your time for all of this tapping I really appreciate you oh thank you you so much you know I'm always so grateful it's always such a pleasure to talk to you
