Dear Paul,
I am having a great difficulty with EFT of late. Problems come up and my first thought is to tap them away, but when I start I find myself thinking “Things are not all that bad” and I stop. It seems that my stress is building by the minute and yet I fall into this pattern over and over. I have not tapped for nearly three months now. Can you tell me what is happening and how I can get back on track?
Frustrated and Fickle
Dear Frustrated and Fickle, let me first assure you that want you’re currently experiencing is quite common. Everybody practising EFT has or will eventually come to this point. When a person first starts EFT they rightfully go after the most glaring problem that they have. Usually, the problem is improved or corrected fairly quick. This victory excites the newbie and they go on to experience more victories. Then one day they find themselves unable to tap with any conviction if at all.

What has happened? This is where the adaptive nature of humanity comes in. As humans we fight with all that is within us to change the things that we fear will completely destroy us. Then after we conquer these things we adapt to everything else. This is why your first thought before you stop tapping is, “Things are not all that bad?” At this point it is better the ills that you know than having to adjust to still yet another change (even though you are pretty sure that the change would be better).

So how do we get out of this position and back onto the road change. Here are my suggestions from both my personal experience and those of my clients:

Be gentle with yourself. Understand that this wall is inevitable. You are not alone in your frustration and you can get over it.

Tap on your frustration of reaching this point, your fear that you may not get past it, and your feelings of being alone.

When you have tapped the above down to the minimum of a 2, tap in the following phrases:

“Even though I have not tapped in three months, I choose to no longer settle for acceptable”

“Even though there will be changes, I am willing to accept that they might be for the better”

“Even though I have stored enough stress inside to blow up an entire country, I am ready to release it and become all that I can be”

My sincere hope is that this assurance and set of phrases will get you past your current obstacle. If for some reason they do not, please consider taking advantage of my email sessions and we will finish the work that they have begun.

Kindest of Regards,

Paul Thurman
