    So that I can make these videos available, I need to state that you must take responsibility for your own well-being if you choose to tap along. While I'm confident that tapping along with this video can provide great benefits, I make no claims as to what, if any, benefits you will receive. While EFT has yielded impressive results in treating physical and psychological issues, not everyone will benefit in the same way. I am not a doctor, and the information presented here is not intended to replace appropriate treatment by a physician or mental health professional. EFT is still in the experimental stage and, while a growing number of PhD's and MD's are adopting it, we cannot claim that it is risk-free. I am unaware of anyone experiencing negative side effects from using these videos, but different people require different care, and depending on a number of variables, it is possible you could uncover deeper issues within the process that this video is not able to address. It is recommended that you consult a qualified health practitioner prior to using this technique.
    That being said, I hope you will enjoy this video and find it beneficial, and that you will share it with others.
    This is certainly not intended to be a comprehensive handling of the subject -- I can only cover so much in 5-10 minutes...! I'm also not working with you personally to address specific individual issues. Hopefully, though, it will help you address the issue enough that you can experience greater freedom to live the life you really desire and deserve. For further support, I encourage you to check out the other offerings available from myself and other EFT practitioners, including workshops and private sessions. For more information about tapping, as well as a ton of great resources to help you live your best life possible, please visit: www.tapwithbrad.com
    This is only my way of using the process, rather than what might be called official EFT.

    @TheHeraldOfChange Před 4 lety +4

    Hello Brad, I know these are old videos and I appreciate them unreservedly. What resonated with me with this video, was not someone telling me, I am not good enough. But the family instruction... "Do not stand out, or lift your head up, otherwise someone WILL come along and kick it off." My grandmother was so adamant about it, that she would do it herself if it made her look as if her advice was false. I have never found a tapping session or any other similar reprogramming session that has ever dealt with such an issue and it is soooo core in my life. To me it is far, far worse than any thought of, I am unworthy, or I do not deserve this or success. This grandmother message is diametrically opposed to being noticeable in in any way, shape, or form. And. even though I know it? I have proven helpless to change it in any way, shape, or form. Thanks for your channel, it helps in little things but its always like, you know those coin roll spiral funnel donation boxes, only my coin never gets to the center of the funnel... always skirting around the event horizon.

  • @kimberly-abriefongrief7777

    I’m finding myself in a state of overthinking and questioning now as a lot of things are shifting and coming to surface the last few weeks around the topics of intimacy, trust, sex, attachment....I know it’s based on fear, a protective behaviour based on fear. The fears that came up tnight are “I don’t want to sabotage love anymore by this hidden trauma about intimacy/relationships/men” and “If I can’t make sense of it/heal it now when I’m not in a romantic relationship, then there’s no hope when I’m in it to figure it out” ....yup those are the big fears.

    Hey. I really release a lot with your tapping. I have done a lot of work with a personal coach and this really is like the finishing touch. I was searching for a video of differentiating yourself from others since I have watched Jerry Wise who speaks to adult children of dysfunctional families. One big thing is co-dependency and the need of needing others. I combine your videos of self love with the insights I get from his videos and I am starting to notice a huge difference. Thank you.

    There is something that has been bothering me for some time and I did not know what to do about it. I didn't even know what my prooblem was. Then, not so long ago I saw in my dream that I should do tapping on "not feeling good enough". I never thought that was my issue but it made perfect sense. And today I decided to tap on this video because I felt like my biggest problem right now is extremely overthinking somethings. Everything you say in this video resonated with me so much that tears kept coming from the beginning. It felt like an epiphany when you talked about being afraid of change. It was so right. I fet that this video is exactly what I needed. But I was also confused because I knew this video was the perfect one for me but in my dream it said "not being good enough". And thenn you started talking about "not feeling good enough". Woww!! I'm so amazed. You are truly a gifted person, not only you are helping so many of us but also how can you know these things, like the core of the issue? How can you know that not feeling good enough is the core of overthinking? You are an expert on human soul. Really amazing. Thank you so much!!

    Had this in my 'tapping' folder but don't think I had yet listened to it. Just did and have to say, "Did you write this one w/ my name on it?" Cuz it was uncanny how much it fits. My mother always says I overthink everything and I kinda thought she was full of it. But I do..and yes, to stay in my comfort zone because of a huge ingrained fear of failure at everything. Going to try tapping to this one on a regular basis for a bit and see how it goes. SIncere thanks! 11/20/19.

    Thank you Brad, your EFT tapping videos are so helpful for me. I’m clearing some childhood trauma.

This habit is driving me crazy! Thanks again.

    I love the script you use for this. I think this is a very big problem for a lot of people. Around how many times do you think most people will have to go through this routine for before they are clear of the problem?

      That's the million dollar question. Kind of like, "How many crunches will I need to do to have six-pack abs?" ;) It depends on the person. For some folks the changes are quick and profound... for others it is a more gradual process.

    Overthinking probably comes from past wrong decisions and lack of trust in oneself. Could come from overcritical upbringing, too.

    I seem to drift into other thoughts when tapping, I’m not new at this but it’s been happening lately .. is it some kind of resistance ?

      That would be my first guess. But it also may be that during the tapping you are opening up your awareness to other things that you haven't been paying attention to. See if those are things to tap on - maybe write down what comes up.
