And as always, thanks for listening and I'll catch you next time.   on the Dental A Team podcast.   speaker-0 (00:32) and you guys don't worry. We say we travel in the Dental A Team, and this time you might actually hear proof of it because I have the one and only Tiffanie Trader back on the podcast. She is getting ready to fly home, just finish up with an office, and we definitely got her to podcast while she's at the airport. So Tiff, where are you at today? How is this podcasting going?   speaker-1 (00:54) podcasting is gonna be fantastic because it is because I put it out there into the universe and I am I'm actually in DC, which is funny because it's funny because I thought I I thought I booked a different airport and I thought I booked an airport I had been to and then on the way here I was like, Yeah, I've surely never actually even been to DC and anyways it's been fun. This is how my life is.   speaker-0 (01:18) So funny travel story about Tiffanie and airports. We always giggle about this. Tiff, do you want to tell about the one time like this is like real life consulting one one for you guys? Do you remember the time that you maybe missed your alarm? You set like twenty five of them, but that's fine. Like I've seen your phone and there are seriously like, Wake up, no, like really wake up. No, like you've got to get out of bed. Like that's all your alarms that you have. But like what happened that time? Because it was a really funny travel experience.   speaker-1 (01:42) Here's the thing, Kiera. I just want to point out that I am in Virginia right now. It's   speaker-0 (01:47) Yeah.   speaker-1 (01:48) the only state that I have ever, ever, ever had any travel mishaps of any sort have been either coming to or leaving Virginia. I have Virginia stuck   speaker-0 (01:59) Is your   speaker-1 (02:00) here. I've gotten stuck here on a layover. Like Virginia just doesn't want me to leave, I think. So I slept through my alarm leaving New York, coming to Virginia.   because my flight was at six thirty in the morning, which is if you know me at all is not   speaker-0 (02:16) It's okay. It's all right. We all make decisions that we shouldn't have done. And I'll be honest, sometimes when we're like booking the travel, we're like, yeah, that seems like a really good idea until we actually have to live the travel we booked for ourselves and we're like, That was a really bad idea. So   speaker-1 (02:30) It was a poor choice.   speaker-0 (02:32) You're   up late. I remember you were texting me late at night that night and I'm like, Tiff, your freaking flight leaves so early tomorrow and you're like, I'll be fine   speaker-1 (02:40) Yes, but I was fine because I actually figured out that it was quicker to drive to where I needed to be than to fly anyway. So   speaker-0 (02:49) Only after she missed her flight. So it was you know a win.   speaker-1 (02:52) Because   I had to pivot. I had to be at an office that afternoon and I was like, shoot, how do I do this? So pivot or die is like what we live and breathe by. so I mapped it and I went and I got a car and the car rental guy was like, my gosh, this is absurd. so I drove a car from New York to Virginia and it was by far my favorite road trip of working experience because it was beautiful. I got this in so many I went through   It was like fall time, but I got snow, I got fall leaves changing. I have like every possible season.   speaker-0 (03:27) It's   one of favorite stories that I definitely feel like needed to be recorded for all of our posterity to hear and all of you listeners. So this might be mine and Tiff's like journal time over here. But this is liter   speaker-1 (03:36) I think I've I think I've now flown out as of today. I will have flown in and out of every airport in Virginia.   speaker-0 (03:45) Well, I'm glad that you're able to get the last one knocked off your list today. but you guys, that's literally the day in life of a consultant. I think it's it's fun to point out the fact that like in offices when things don't go as planned, like literally pivot. I know Tip and I have many times, I mean the time that I almost got deported out of Canada, hashtag I was literally a one hour drive across the border, but no, I flew back down to New Jersey and then back trying to get across the border.   And it would have been way better had I just driven. So I think also it's like looking at it. I mean, had we mapped it, now when people are booking travel, we're always thinking like, Could you drive there faster than flying? 'Cause there's always alternatives. So I love it. Welcome to Virginia. I'm glad you're coming home. Glad your office was there. Let's kinda like   speaker-1 (04:29) office was in New Orleans. It's   fine.   speaker-0 (04:34) Everything's fine, guys. Everything's fine. We are totally competent in dental offices and we're about like seventy-five, eighty percent competent traveling. We have that like twenty percent lack that we definitely are not great at.   speaker-1 (04:44) It   just needed to hit Virginia as a state this year, so I got it in.   speaker-0 (04:48) Good job, Tiff. So actually let's like deep dive on your practice you just came from. this is not the topic we were going to go on, but I just realized like we're talking about you leaving an office. Kinda walk us through some of the things you just implemented in that practice that you were in, just so people can kind of get an experience of what it's like having a consultant in their practice.   speaker-1 (05:05) Yeah, I think that's fun. Yep. So this was and I love a bit or die.   speaker-0 (05:10) Don't worry, we had a totally different topic, but like why not why not just keep with this consulting travel theme?   speaker-1 (05:16) I like it. So yes. this is my second time in the practice. This was Ashley actually saw this practice probably like a year ago, I suppose. so she saw them first and Ashley's no longer with us, wildfires, crying, lots of tears.   speaker-0 (05:29) Decided   to get married and move away and become a practice manager. It's fine. That office got real lucky. I shout out to them.   speaker-1 (05:37) Yeah. So anyways, this is their third visit. So it's really cool to see the progression and the growth that they've experienced, but then also like the holdups that they've had. So it's like, yes, we've been consulting them for a little over a year now. but there's still so much to be done. So this week what we did yesterday and today was we focused really heavily on collections and AR because they're just   struggling a little bit in that area and they're having a hard time dialing it into where it's coming from. So it was really fun because we saw the issue and then what I did was I kind of worked my way backwards, right? Because I think in any practice you can find something that's wrong and then I can tackle that person. Right. So I can go straight for the billing representative and the office manager and be like, why aren't you collecting? Where's your money? But it's not just them.   that are the the only cause of that, right? So the only effect of the cause. So we backtracked, we looked at everything, we realized, hey, patients aren't always getting signed treatment plans. Like patients aren't even they're not always getting told what they're going to owe in the first place. So then when they're coming in, it's a little bit more difficult to collect because I noticed we have a crown you know, a crown was in last week and they paid a hundred dollars. And so if you know anything about   Crowns in dental insurance, typically a hundred dollars is not going to be the copay required. So I thought, okay, why is this patient only paid a hundred dollars? Well, probably because this patient was not prepared to pay the six hundred dollars that he had owed when he came in. So we kind of backtracked. So we figured out, okay, our collections percentage is low. It's about 86% for last month, and overall for the year they're hovering in the mid 80s.   I like to see ninety eight percent for my practices or higher. I usually tell my Medicaid practices, Medicaid slash PPO providers, ninety-three to ninety-five percent just because Medicaid takes so long. So ninety-eight percent is what we're looking for here in this practice. So eighty six percent was like, my gosh, how are how are we paying the bills? So we back chopped and we started implementing they did NDTR for us like a boss. We've done that twice to the guys don't know the N D T   speaker-0 (08:00) And you're new, that's a perfect handoff. So next visit, date, time, recare. And I will say it's magic sauce when people do it. So good to know this office was which is great. It's good. Like Tip, I love that you're breaking this down. And I think offices should do this. Like when you find a gaping hole, don't go after it. Look at all the pieces that factor in to find out where is the true breakdown. So we already know that the handoff and the doctor exam   is spot on. We are crushing that. Our handoffs are good. Our doctor exams are great. So that's not the cause of the collections being low. Like good job Tiff of checking that box to ensure and I hope people are able to see that that that's what you're doing in this. Like you're assessing to find out where the breakdown is at.   speaker-1 (08:38) And I think that's right. And as you're saying that, it made me think of like treatment planning, right? So doctors, you go in the operatory and if you just looked at a tooth and you saw this this piece of decay, right? No x-ray, nothing else. You just look at the tooth, you're like, okay, there's decay there. We need to get it out. Let's do a filling. Okay. So you do a filling, you get in there, because you haven't looked at the x-ray yet, you get in there and you're like, holy cow, that's not the only problem. So I think of it as like   You go in, you look at the tooth, but you also look at the x-rays and all the other evidence that you have. You look at you know, intra-oral photos, you look at structure, all of these items to assess what the patient needs on that tooth. So if you look at the x-ray, maybe the x-ray shows like all of this patient's pain is actually stemming from a huge abscess at the root of the tooth. Had we not looked at the x-ray, we might have just tried to fill it, right? So I kind of think of that of something like that when I go into practices. So I do see, okay, there's an   issue so we're we're bleeding money right so there's an issue but what's the root cause of it so I think that's great what you said Kiera because it made me think of that like it's really we go in and we dig for the root cause so overhead is high collections are low so what's the root cause so handoffs are working great the diagnosis is there the treatments there the schedule's pretty full right they're producing 120 grand with two doctors and two hygienists that's not bad per month   so we really diagnosed. So we ramped up treatment planning with the front office, ramped up treatment planning, which should ramp up over the counter collections, and then we tackled cancellations, which I think cancellations across the board, across the country, and all of my practices have been really high lately. I think it's just a product of the mentality that we're living in right now, and a product of what we've become. So that aside, we just set some new goals. So   Over the counter collections and collections in general, they I set them another goal. So their goal now is 98% by the end of the year. Okay, and remember they're at about 86% now. Case acceptance, they're doing dollar for dollar. So case acceptance, dollar for dollar is set at 75% is their goal. They're hovering at about 56% right now. And then I want to see cancellations at less than 10% every day. So they'll do that by week and they're tracking all of those items.   It is actually really fun to hammer in the collections because the front office ladies are like, I don't know what I don't know why she keeps saying collections, collections, why are you saying collections is an issue? We collect the money. We collect all the money over-the-counter. We we don't let patients leave without paying. And so I said, Okay, totally fine. So, what we did was we set, we created a new tracker, right? So I created a tracker for them for over-the-counter collections. If they do not   collect in full from a patient, they've got to put it on the tracker. So it's just in their Google spreadsheets, something the office manager can check in on, but it's going to hold them accountable. So number one, I saw that you know we had a few patients we weren't collecting over-the-counter 100% from. So there should be some names on there. Number two, they're not going to want to fill out the tracker and they're not going to want anyone to see your name on there. So hopefully it will ramp up that over-the-counter collections.   But then also they had a good point. If they feel like they're collecting over the counter correctly, maybe it's on the back end where it's like our claims, you know, our treatment plans are are not accounting for downgrades, and maybe our claims are coming in, EOVs are being paid, and we're left with balances, it will show. So I took the problem, diagnosed what needed to happen, implemented three items and three different goals that should help. And then   allowed them the grace and the space to say, okay, fantastic. We're gonna push real hard on these items to ensure that your over the counter collections is happening exactly how you're saying that it is, just because I want you guys to kill it. And the proof will be in the end. Right. So if I see that over the counter collections is better and now our overhead is decreasing our collections is higher, then I know we tackle the problem.   If it's not and it stays where it is, and we start saying, okay, it's actually left over after insurance, we actually tackled that problem as well because we've we have our insurance, the team who's doing the insurance verifications are gonna start they're putting down grades in now. so that should be resolved as well. But it was kind of fun to see where it's like sometimes we think we're doing something and we can say, like, I always do this thing, which always and never are never accurate, right? So like   always well whenever I think like I always do it I'm like okay so I don't always do it so I need to like back off and take a look at the area where I probably could improve. So as soon as I hear something that I'm like okay I totally get it. It's like a it's a defensive space and we do feel like we're killing it in that area and it's great if we are you might be so we're gonna put this into place to see that to show it. So let's prove that you are doing the things and it's not you on the opposite side of the spectrum.   We're putting attention on it and so no matter what, whether you were doing it before and you're doing it y now you're doing it even more or you're doing it the same as before or you weren't ever doing it, it's going to improve no matter what, because we're putting attention on it.   speaker-0 (14:01) I love it.   speaker-1 (14:03) That's what we did in this caucus.   speaker-0 (14:05) So I think there's like a c quite a few pieces I wanna highlight from it is number one, I love that you talked about how you see an issue, but that issue is usually a symptom of a bigger problem. And so it was collections are low. And so you found three other areas to fix. I also love that you put tracking into place. And I also love that you took what people said of I'm always collecting and spun it into a really positive way. Cause some people be like, Okay, well, I get that you say you're always doing this, but the reality is we're not collecting. You didn't make them wrong. You said, Hey   I hear you. Let's actually track this and prove that you guys are really doing it. So like I'm on your team versus I'm making you wrong. And so I hope a lot of people listened and heard that. And I think that that's one of the beauties of coming in person. Because over the phone, I can't we can't move and navigate as easily as we can in person. In person we're able to see, okay, here's this broken piece. Let's go fix, let's look at the whole way up the chain to see where is the broken link. Because down below we know something further up is broken. But then we can get the in   entire team working on it. So you see quick, fast changes in a practice that are usually sustainable. So Tiff, I thought you did so many awesome things in it. And I know you tackled so many more pieces. Like that's just a quick, I mean, we're talking 15 minute synopsis right here where you're like, hey, I was there for a day and a half, but let me give you a quick 15 minutes. But I hope people took that. And so I'm like digesting this in for an office of how do you take this and make this applicable to you is number one, when you find a problem, look to see like what are all the pieces up ahead of that problem that got there.   To get to collections, what has to happen before collections? Insurance verification, inputting information, sending claims, getting the checks back from insurance. Are they getting lost in the mail? Do we have EFTs set up? How are we posting it? What about downgrades? What about our write-offs? Then you also looked at like, okay, what creates that copay amount for the patient portion? That's treatment plans. Are we giving every patient a treatment plan and having it signed and putting that copay amount or the amount that they owe in the appointment box so that way everybody knows and we just collect that?   Then let's go back even further and say, first and foremost, how's our case acceptance? Like, are we even having good handoffs to get the treatment that's diagnosed, to get the case acceptance, to get the schedule, to be able to then send it out. So that's why we love what we do. Like I just broke all that down. I'm like, that is what we freaking do, and we love it. We love it so much. But I hope you guys take it and diagnose that. And if you have a hard time seeing up that chain, Tiff and I are really good at seeing like, okay, here's the billing system, here's the case acceptance system, here is our new patient acceptance.   system like here are all these systems that could be impacting your collections. Let's look to see where it's at. Let's come up with some tracking. Let's give your team goals and then let's see magic happen. So if you guys are needing help with that, always email us Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. But gosh Tip like way to way to kill it at that practice. I love I love hearing your recaps after a practice.   speaker-1 (16:52) Thank you. Yeah. And you're right. We did a ton more, especially on the collection side. but yeah, I love it. And I love the diagnosis piece and really seeing like the light bulbs go off and doctors and teams too. So and I think you're right. I think it it can be done over the phone. It just takes a lot longer. And and I think we do miss pieces because it's a biased opinion. I'm I'm relying on the team or the doctor to provide me the information. I'm not seeing it firsthand. So   It is much more effective when we're able to get in practice and probably I'd say the f first one in office is like, okay, this is a good starting point. Second and third in office are really where we really I mean, we dig deep on those suckers because we know we know the practice at that point. So totally. I love it. I love it.   speaker-0 (17:38) So fun. Well, Tiff, as always, I love you headed to offices. I love you representing our company. And it's fun to see. So I hope you guys like take this into yourself. Put on the Tiffanie Kiera consultant hat. Look at your practice. See if you can uncover those spots and where it might be broken further up the chain. And if you can't see it or you also want to pick our brains, email us. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. And as always, thank you all. Thank you, Tiffanie. Thank you all for listening. And we'll catch you next time   Kiera Dent (18:04) I hope you all loved today's episode as much as I did. It is crazy to think that this many episodes have been released since we started the Dental A Team Podcast. And I started looking to say, my goodness, our listeners need to be reminded of some of the things they may have learned a year ago or two years ago or five years ago, because so many things in our practices weren't relevant back then when we heard them, but they are relevant today. And I would be doing you a huge disservice if I didn't re-release some of these episodes for you to remember, to refine.   to optimize and really truly if you ever need a topic or you're like, my gosh, I wonder if the Dental A Team has anything like this, go onto our website, TheDentalATeam.com, click on our podcast tab and you can literally search any topic. So whether it's overhead or hiring or firing or team morale or engagement or case acceptance or hygiene or associate onboarding or whatever it is, we have so many episodes for you. And so I am going to intentionally be   re-releasing some of the top best episodes for you, pulling back some of the ones that I needed to remember, some of the things that I feel for you to really, really relearn right now and to re-remember, or if it's the first time, welcome. I'm so happy you're listening to it, but I hope you truly enjoyed today's episode. I hope that you share this with somebody. I hope that you go and implement today because we only have one day. We only get today. And so making today the best that it possibly can be. If we can help you in any way, shape or form, reach out Hello@TheDentalATeam.com.   And as always, thanks for listening and we'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.  

In this July 29th livestream, Stacy Claxton steps in as guest host while Tom takes time off over the summer. She introduces herself as a somatic integration practitioner and transformational coach with New Biology Clinic, and invites viewers into an experiential session using EFT, or Emotional Freedom Techniques, as a self-healing tool.Stacy frames the session around Tom's “SIT” concept from the previous week — the “syndrome of insufficient thinking” — and leads the audience through a playful, body-based practice for noticing where SIT may be showing up in the body, relationships, emotions, symptoms, or the wider world.Highlights from this session include:-Stacy introduces EFT as “Emotional Freedom Techniques” and explains how emotions can be understood as signals in the body rather than something to suppress.-She reframes “freedom” as the capacity to be with all of life — emotions, memories, symptoms, relationships, and challenges — rather than simply trying to get free from discomfort.-She explains tapping as a simple, versatile tool that uses the fingertips, breath, voice, and body awareness to help create more flow, regulation, and self-connection.-Stacy walks viewers through the EFT tapping points, including the top of the head, inside of the eyebrow, side of the eye, under the eye, under the nose, chin crease, collarbone point, under the arm, and side of the hand.-She encourages viewers to use EFT for physical symptoms, emotional distress, mental loops, fear, overwhelm, relationship challenges, spiritual growth, children, and pets.-She then guides the audience through a deeper tapping journey focused on identifying a specific issue, symptom, relationship pattern, or “case of SIT” and using the body's own signals as a doorway to greater truth, freedom, and possibility.Stacy closes the session by reminding viewers that their body carries wisdom, that they have powerful tools “at their fingertips,” and that New Biology Clinic and the Cowan community offer space for people to explore health, emotion, freedom, truth, and transformation together.Support the showWebsites:https://drtomcowan.com/https://www.drcowansgarden.com/https://newbiologyclinic.com/https://newbiologycurriculum.com/Instagram: @TalkinTurkeywithTomFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrTomCowan/Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/CivTSuEjw6Qp/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzxdc2o0Q_XZIPwo07XCrNg

Have you ever caught yourself reliving the same difficult conversation over and over again, wishing you could just let it go? In this episode of the Happy Mind Happy Life Podcast, Michelle shares the personal experience that inspired this message. After finding herself replaying difficult situations, worrying about circumstances she couldn't control, and carrying emotions she no longer wanted to live in, she realized something powerful: Your mind is always practicing something. The question is... what are you practicing? Whether it's frustration, fear, gratitude, compassion, or peace, the thoughts and emotions we return to most often begin to shape our inner world. While we can't always control what happens around us, we can become more intentional about what we repeatedly practice within ourselves. In this episode, Michelle explores how intentionally bringing your attention back to feelings like gratitude, love, and appreciation can help strengthen those emotional pathways over time. It's not about pretending life is perfect or ignoring difficult emotions. It's about creating more balance and giving your nervous system another place to return to. The episode concludes with Smile From Within, a gentle guided meditation designed to help you reconnect with feelings of calm, kindness, gratitude, and inner peace. Whether you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or simply looking for a mindful reset, this episode offers practical insight followed by an experience that you can return to whenever you need it. In this episode, you'll discover: Why your mind naturally replays difficult conversations How your focus influences your emotional patterns Why what you repeatedly practice becomes easier to feel A simple mindset shift to cultivate more peace and resilience A calming guided meditation to help you smile from within ✨ Free Resources If this episode resonates with you, I'd love to stay connected.

When her 24-year-old son Brandon passed, she got nothing.That silence is its own second loss, and it's what this conversation is about.Jayne has been living inside suicide loss for 33 years. Her uncle Ray, who was also her godfather and the closest thing she had to a father, passed on New Year's Day in 1992. He was 47. Her family was raised Catholic and told not to say how he died. He couldn't be buried in the cemetery with everyone else.Jayne said it anyway. She has never been ashamed of any of them.She thought she'd done her time. Then in 2022 came the call about Brandon, her nephew and godson. Then Brandon's best friend, a year to the day. Then her brother, two years after that.Five years after her uncle passed, Jayne was diagnosed with lupus and told she wouldn't live past 50. She was a young mother of two and disabled for two years. She traces that diagnosis directly to grief her body was carrying because her mouth wasn't allowed to. So she went looking for tools that talk therapy couldn't reach, back when that meant encyclopedias and library trips.She found them. Today she takes no medication at all, and she teaches those tools to survivors around the world.What we cover

Some days you just feel off. Not sad about anything specific, not anxious about anything specific, just heavy, distracted, or grumpy for no reason you can name. If you have ever wondered whether tapping when you feel off actually works when you cannot pinpoint a cause, the answer is yes, and there is a specific order that makes it work well. TL;DR / Key Takeaways Tapping when you feel off does not require knowing the root cause of the feeling before you start. A four step sequence, wordless tapping, witness tapping, tapping on not knowing why, and tapping on not needing to know why to heal, addresses the emotion directly. Wordless tapping, also called content free tapping, changes your body's biochemistry through the tapping points without naming an issue. Witness tapping works because fully articulated emotions are short lived, meaning simply describing what you feel out loud often reduces its intensity. Three rounds of tapping (three to five taps per point) takes about 45 seconds, making this practical to use anywhere. Why Do I Feel Off Without Knowing Why? Feeling emotionally off without a clear trigger happens because emotions are stored in the body as biochemistry, not just as conscious thoughts you can trace back to a cause. In my 17 years of working with clients and my own daily tapping practice, this is one of the most common situations people bring to me. It shows up as heaviness, distraction, low mood, or a general sense that everything feels harder than it should. This is closely related to tapping for vague emotions you cannot clearly identify, where the challenge is not the tapping itself but naming what you are actually feeling. The instinct in these moments is to stop and figure out why before doing anything about it. That instinct is understandable, but it is also the thing that keeps people stuck longest. You do not need to diagnose the cause before you can start changing how you feel. This is exactly the situation the four step process below is built for. It works whether you eventually understand the reason behind the emotion or you never do. What Is Wordless Tapping (Content Free Tapping)? Wordless tapping is a technique where you tap through the acupressure points without speaking, without naming an issue, and without trying to identify a root cause. The technical term for this is content free intervention. Key insight: "By stimulating these tapping points on our body, we're actually able to start changing our biochemistry. That emotion you're feeling, that heaviness, that overwhelm, is the biochemistry of that emotion." Because the emotion itself is biochemical, you do not need words or insight to begin shifting it. You are working directly with the physical layer of the feeling, moving from tapping point to tapping point while whatever is going on continues to run in the background. This matters for anyone new to tapping for anxiety, low mood, or unexplained heaviness, because it removes the barrier of needing the right words or the right insight before you are allowed to start. If you want more ways to use content free tapping beyond this single situation, there are several other applications worth exploring. Step 1: Start With Wordless Tapping to Shift Your Biochemistry The first step in this process is to tap through the points silently for three to five rounds without naming what you are feeling. This changes your biochemical state before you attempt anything else. A simple way to do this is to set a timer, or to commit to three rounds of tapping, using three to five taps on each point as you move from point to point. Three rounds takes about 45 seconds. Four rounds takes about a minute. There is no issue to identify and no phrase to repeat, which makes this the easiest entry point into a tapping session when you feel off. This same principle shows up in releasing a hidden tapping agenda, where letting go of the need to control the outcome of a session tends to produce better results. Starting here also lowers the pressure of the moment. You are not required to understand anything yet. You are simply giving your nervous system a chance to settle before you move into naming what is happening, which is the focus of step two. Step 2: Use Witness Tapping to Name What You're Feeling Witness tapping means describing exactly what you are experiencing in the moment, without analysis or judgment, the same way an eyewitness describes only what they directly observed. Key insight: "Fully articulated emotions are short lived. Our emotions are just trying to get our attention, and oftentimes simply giving them voice is enough to start tuning them down." In practice, this sounds like tapping while saying something as simple as, I feel really grumpy, and it is heavy in my body, and I do not know why I feel grumpy. You are not explaining the emotion or justifying it. You are only witnessing it, the way a witness in court reports what they saw without interpreting it. It is worth knowing that most of us are a fairly unreliable witness to our own experience, which is exactly why simply reporting the feeling, rather than analyzing it, works better than trying to get the story perfectly right. This step often does two things at once. First, naming the feeling out loud tends to reduce its intensity almost immediately. Second, new information sometimes surfaces on its own, such as realizing a canceled plan was actually weighing on you more than you had noticed. That insight is a welcome bonus, not a requirement for the process to work. Step 3: Tap on the Fact That It's Okay Not to Know Why The third step is to tap directly on the discomfort of not having an explanation, acknowledging that it is okay not to know why you feel this way. This step targets a specific emotion that hides underneath the original feeling, which is the frustration or disappointment of not having a root cause. Something like, even though I do not know why I feel this way, I give myself permission to simply acknowledge it, addresses that layer directly. Tapping on this usually produces relief almost immediately, because you are no longer fighting the fact that you cannot explain your own emotional state. And as with step two, sometimes tapping on the frustration of not knowing clears space for new insight to surface, though it is not guaranteed and is not the point. Step 4: Tap on Not Needing to Know Why in Order to Heal The fourth step is to tap on the idea that you do not need to know why you feel this way in order to heal from it or move through it. Key insight: "It is possible for me to heal, to transform, to release all of this without having to know why I am this way." This step is subtly different from step three. Step three addresses the desire for knowledge and understanding. Step four addresses the fear that not having that knowledge will block your healing. Separating these two ideas rather than tapping on them as one statement creates more clarity, because you are releasing two distinct beliefs rather than one blended one. In my own practice, I find this is the step that gives people the most permission to stop searching for an explanation and simply let the tapping work. You can always revisit the reason later if it becomes relevant. It does not need to arrive on any particular schedule. Do You Need to Find the Root Cause for Tapping When You Feel Off? No, you do not need to identify a root cause before tapping when you feel off can help you feel better. The four step process above is designed to work with or without that information. Sometimes tapping through these four steps will surface the underlying reason for a mood, like realizing a disappointment you had not consciously registered. Other times you will simply feel better without ever knowing exactly why you felt off in the first place. Both outcomes are considered a success with this approach. This distinction matters because many people delay tapping until they feel they have figured themselves out first. Waiting for full understanding before taking action is one of the most common reasons people stay stuck in a low mood longer than necessary, a point explored further in why you don't need to know why you are the way you are. How to Put the Four Steps Together in Your Own Practice The complete sequence is wordless tapping, witness tapping, tapping on it being okay not to know why, and tapping on not needing to know why in order to heal. You can move through all four steps in a single sitting, typically in just a few minutes total. Start with three rounds of silent tapping, move into witnessing what you feel out loud, then tap on the two reframes in steps three and four. There is no requirement to rush toward insight at any point in the sequence. If you are new to tapping altogether, a free guide with video and written instructions is available at LearnToTap.com. If you already have some tapping experience and want to go deeper with a related struggle, a ten part guide on using tapping to work through self sabotage is available at TappingQnA.com. Frequently Asked Questions What is wordless tapping in EFT? Wordless tapping, also called content free tapping, is tapping through the acupressure points without speaking or naming an issue. It works by shifting your body's biochemistry directly, which is useful when you feel off but cannot identify a specific cause. Why does naming an emotion out loud make it feel less intense? Fully articulated emotions tend to be short lived because emotions are signals meant to get your attention. Once you give a feeling clear voice through witness tapping, the signal has been received and often begins to settle on its own. Do I have to know why I feel bad before tapping will work? No. This four step process is built specifically for situations where you do not know the cause of your mood. You can tap on the feeling itself, and understanding may or may not arrive along the way. How long does a round of tapping take? Three rounds of tapping, using three to five taps per point, takes about 45 seconds. Four rounds takes about a minute, which makes this practical to fit into a busy day. What is witness tapping? Witness tapping is describing exactly what you are feeling in the moment, without analysis or judgment, similar to how an eyewitness reports only what they directly observed. When should I use this four step process instead of tapping on a specific issue? Use this process when you feel an emotion, such as heaviness, distraction, or a low mood, but cannot trace it to a specific event or thought. If you already know exactly what you are upset about, you can tap directly on that issue instead.

After graduating with a degree in Neuroscience from Trinity College Dublin, he left Ireland at 25 and began a decades long global quest to explore the deeper mysteries of human potential, consciousness, energy, and healing.   Over 20 years of travel and study, Devah immersed himself in a range of practices, including Reiki, Sound Healing, Tantra, meditation, shamanic medicine, conscious intimacy, EFT, and tantra massage. His path was shaped by various initiations, including breaking his back twice, navigating depression, sitting with large doses of the various Entheogen's, integrating suppressed parts of himself through transformative experiences in Tokyo's conscious kink underground, and studying tantra and tantra massage in Bali with Ma Ananda Sarita.    Along the way, he also discovered the extraordinary potential of intimate connection with himself and others to open transcendent states of consciousness, cosmic orgasm, and deep embodied awakening.   Now based on Kauai, Devah feels deeply called to help others reconnect with the wisdom of their bodies, awaken their senses, and access greater intimacy, healing, and expansion. Known for his compassionate heart, grounded presence, and nurturing approach, he creates spaces where people can feel safe, seen, and held in reverence as they explore, rediscover, and remember these pleasurable dimensions of embodiment.   Follow Devah on Instagram and learn more about his work on his website.   Does learning about Tantra, embodiment, and intimate connection light you up?   VITA™ Coaching is your next step ✨   Doors open soon, join the waitlist to be the first to know when they do!

Most women have been told to manage stress with mindset work, talk therapy, meditation and breathwork, or just pushing through. And those things can help… but none of them address what the body is actually holding — the tension that has been living in your muscles for years. And the stress patterns your nervous system built to protect you are still running in the background long after the original stressor is gone. That is what somatic healing addresses. And most women have never heard of it. Liz Tenuto spent ten years living with chronic pain and insomnia that started at fourteen. She saw every specialist, tried every modality — acupuncture, yoga, massage, meditation, craniosacral therapy. Nothing lasted more than a few days. It was not until a ballet teacher pulled her into a somatics class that something finally shifted. She cried in the bathroom after the first session — not from pain, but because it was the first time she had ever stopped being hard on her body. Her insomnia was almost gone within four lessons. Liz Tenuto is the creator of The Workout Witch, a somatic movement educator with a background in psychology and ballet, and the author of When the Body Speaks: How Somatic Healing Sets You Free. She teaches zero-equipment somatic exercises — tiny micro-movements that release habitual tension, dissolve stress-holding patterns in the muscles, and regulate the nervous system — to nearly four million followers across Instagram and TikTok. What's Discussed: What somatic exercises actually are — and the hip rocking exercise you can try tonight that uses the same bilateral stimulation technique found in EMDR therapy Ten years of chronic pain, every modality, and nothing lasting — and the one class that changed everything within four sessions How Liz's background in psychology and ballet led her to build something that bridges the two in a way neither field had done before Top-down vs. bottom-up healing — what talk therapy does, what somatics does, and why somatics is often the missing link for women who have plateaued in their healing journey Why there is no separation between emotions and movement — and what that means for women who are already training hard The forehead swipe exercise: one minute, no equipment, stimulates a cranial nerve that calms your fight-or-flight response — you can do it in a meeting and nobody will notice EFT tapping vs. somatic exercises — what the difference is and how to know which one is right for you When the Body Speaks — the book, the three sections, and who it is actually for Check out more from Liz Tenuto: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theworkoutwitch/ TikTok: @theworkoutwitch App and Courses: https://www.theworkoutwitch.com Book — When the Body Speaks: How Somatic Healing Sets You Free: https://www.theworkoutwitch.com/book Free resource from Liz: DM "release" on Instagram @theworkoutwitch and she will send you a one-minute hip rocking video to get started.

What if confidence wasn't about becoming someone else, but finally allowing yourself to be who you've always been?In this honest and often hilarious conversation, Sarah Grynberg welcomes back beloved broadcaster, comedian and bestselling author Christian O'Connell to explore his new book, The Radical Act of Being Yourself. Together they unpack why so many of us silence ourselves, perform versions of who we think we should be, and lose confidence in the moments that matter most.Drawing on more than 30 years behind the microphone, Christian reveals why real confidence has almost nothing to do with saying the perfect thing, and everything to do with self-worth, vulnerability and connection. He opens up about anxiety and panic attacks, the practices that changed his relationship with fear, storytelling, grief, comedy and why laughter is one of the most powerful ways we connect.If you have ever second-guessed yourself, worried what others think, or felt like you're living by someone else's script, this episode is a reminder that everything shifts the moment you stop performing and start being yourself.You'll learn:Why true confidence comes from authenticity, not perfectionHow to quiet your inner critic and self-doubt before high-pressure momentsPractical tools to manage anxiety, panic attacks and nervousnessWhy vulnerability builds deeper relationships and trust than perfection ever couldHow storytelling, humour and honesty create real human connectionWhether you are navigating work, relationships, parenting, a hard conversation or your own self-talk, this is a conversation about confidence, courage and self-acceptance that will stay with you long after it ends.Follow A Life of Greatness for weekly conversations on mindset, confidence, personal growth, psychology and living with purpose.Chapters: 00:00 – Introduction 01:43 – Christian O'Connell returns to A Life of Greatness 04:28 – Why he finally wrote The Radical Act of Being Yourself 05:30 – Confidence, communication and self-worth 06:30 – Why authentic conversations change everything 08:03 – The terrifying speech that changed his life 11:18 – How to speak in public when you have no confidence 14:28 – Why memorising your words never works 17:26 – The Toy Story lesson that says everything about life 19:47 – Should you apply for jobs you're not qualified for? 22:40 – The conversations that quietly shape your life 24:14 – How to become more authentic 27:04 – Escaping the persona you built to survive 30:08 – Living with panic attacks before going live on air 34:25 – Why vulnerability is the key to real connection 36:43 – Breathwork, EFT and tools to overcome anxiety 42:38 – Spirituality, David Whyte and finding the sacred 45:37 – Why laughter is one of life's greatest gifts 51:12 – Can humour actually be learned? 54:52 – Finding extraordinary stories in an ordinary life 56:00 – Lessons on comedy from Ricky GervaisPurchase Christian's new book: The Radical Act of Being YourselfPurchase Sarah's book: Living A Life Of Greatness here.To purchase Living A Life of Greatness outside Australia here or here.Watch A Life of Greatness Episodes On Youtube here.Sign up for Sarah's newsletter (Greatness Guide) here.Purchase Sarah's Meditations here.Instagram: @sarahgrynberg Website: https://sarahgrynberg.com/Facebook: facebook.com/sarahgrynbergTwitter: twitter.com/sarahgrynberg Hosted on Acast.

Today's podcast answers a question from somebody seeking reassurance that EFT, otherwise known as emotional freedom therapy, is spiritually safe and consistent with the orthodox Phronema. General guidance on how to test out these new techniques is also given.

AI wchodzi w nas klinem. Rozbija nas i oddala jako społeczeństwo – coraz rzadziej zwracamy się ku sobie po wsparcie czy po relację, coraz mniej darzymy zaufaniem siebie czy tradycyjne instytucje społeczne (kościoły, terapeuci, lekarze itp.), a coraz częściej de facto zwracamy się ku maszynom, a ściślej – ku im dostawcom, anonimowym bigtechom, którym powierzamy najbardziej intymne, osobiste historie i poufne dane. Czy one są tam bezpieczne? Co z nimi dalej się stanie? Do czego zostaną użyte? Póki co możemy tylko się domyślać. Przekonamy się kiedyś. W naszym podcaście wielokrotnie opisywaliśmy na czym polega sykofancja oraz jej skutki społeczne, w tym zwłaszcza powiązane z nią ryzyka uzależnienia poznawczego, emocjonalnego, afektywnego. Tym razem skupimy się na samym mechanizmie uzależnienia od AI – czym różni się od innych typów uzależnień? Jak je u siebie rozpoznać? Od czego się zaczyna? Gdzie kończy się rekreacja, a zaczyna zaburzenie? Jakiego typu osoby są narażone najbardziej? Jak sobie z nim radzić? Gościem 8. odcinka Limitów AI jest Radosław Helwich – terapeuta e-uzależnień, specjalista psychoterapii uzależnień i współuzależnień pracujący w nurcie integracyjnym, certyfikowany trener EFT oraz założyciel ESC – pierwszego ośrodka w Polsce specjalizującego się w terapii e-uzależnień. Radek pomaga osobom, które zmagają się z uzależnieniem od nowoczesnych technologii, internetu, telefonu, gier, pornografii i mediów społecznościowych. Jest współautorem książki "Sztuka wygrywania" napisanej wspólnie z Brianem Tracy ([https://esc123.net/sklep/)] Jako twórcy przede wszystkim chcielibyśmy podziękować Poli, która odważyła się podzielić i przestrzec nas wszystkich swoim osobistym doświadczeniem – historią toksycznej pararelacji z AI, w której to chatbot (a w gruncie rzeczy dostawca chatbota), najpierw usypia naszą czujność, zapewniając, że jesteśmy z nim bezpieczni, następnie, pod pozorami zaangażowania, troski i uwagi, wyciąga od nas coraz to więcej bardziej intymnych, szczegółowych danych, by wreszcie nas uwodzić, kokietować i wciągać coraz głębiej, w coraz to bardziej intensywną relację, jak również w coraz to wyższe pakiety usług płatnych. Na koniec, w odpowiedzi na skargę, operator chatbota nie widzi nic w tym złego i nie dopatruje się uchybień. Gdyby tak robił człowiek – jak byśmy to nazwali? Czym to się różni np. od stręczycielstwa?Special Guest: Radosław Helwich.

What if the greatest shift in how you lead, work, and live isn't about learning another skill, but about changing the way your brain experiences the world?Amy sits down with Dr. Dawson Church, award-winning science writer, researcher, and author of Spiritual Intelligence, to explore the growing body of neuroscience revealing that emotional regulation, attention, compassion, and presence are not fixed personality traits. They are trainable capacities that reshape the brain over time.For years, spirituality has often been dismissed as something personal, abstract, or impossible to measure. Dawson challenges that assumption by sharing the research behind the four neural circuits that support spiritual intelligence and why strengthening them can transform everything from workplace performance to relationships and overall wellbeing. Together, Amy and Dawson also unpack why traditional meditation doesn't work for everyone, how evidence-based practices like EFT tapping and Eco Meditation accelerate change, and why cultivating inner awareness may be one of the most practical leadership skills available today.If you've ever wondered whether there's a science behind feeling calmer under pressure, responding with greater compassion, or unlocking more creativity without pushing harder, this conversation offers a compelling new perspective on what becomes possible when we intentionally train the brain that shapes every experience of our lives.Download your free copy of Dr. Dawson Church's The EFT Mini-Manual and bonus EcoMeditation at https://dawsongift.com/Moments That Create Momentum:The Brain You Practice Becomes the Life You Experience: Discover why spiritual intelligence isn't a personality trait you're born with, but a set of neural pathways you can intentionally strengthen.The Four Circuits Behind Calm Under Pressure: Explore how emotional regulation, attention, compassion, and self-awareness shape the way you lead, respond, and connect long before a stressful moment arrives.Why Meditation Doesn't Work for Everyone: Learn why quieting your mind isn't the goal, and how science-backed practices can make inner transformation more accessible.Performance Begins Long Before Productivity: Understand why your greatest breakthroughs may come from changing your internal state instead of pushing yourself to work harder.Training the Brain for Something Bigger Than Success: See how developing spiritual intelligence can shift not only how you perform at work, but how you experience your relationships, purpose, and everyday life.About the Guest:Dr. Dawson Church is an award-winning science writer, researcher, and bestselling author whose work explores the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and human potential. Through more than 100 published clinical studies and collaborations with researchers from institutions including Harvard Medical School, Duke, Emory, and Columbia, his research has examined how meditation, emotional regulation, and self-transcendent experiences can reshape the brain and improve wellbeing. He is the author of The Genie in Your Genes, Mind to Matter, Bliss Brain, and Spiritual Intelligence.Beyond his research and writing, Dawson is the founder of the National Institute for Integrative Healthcare and the Veterans Stress Solution, a nonprofit initiative that has provided free PTSD treatment to more than 22,000 veterans and their family members. He also developed EcoMeditation, an evidence-based practice designed to make meditation accessible to beginners, and continues to share research-backed approaches that help people reduce stress, cultivate resilience, and unlock their full potential.https://dawsonchurch.com/https://www.facebook.com/dawsonchurchhttps://www.youtube.com/@EftuniverseEFThttps://twitter.com/EFTUniversehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/dawson-church-68b4a8/https://www.instagram.com/theeftuniverse/About Amy:Amy Lynn Durham, known by her clients as the Corporate Mystic, is the founder of the Executive Coaching Firm, Create Magic At Work®, where they help leaders build workplaces rooted in creativity, collaboration, and fulfillment.

Betrayal doesn't only break trust in another person; it can also rupture your trust in yourself. In this episode, Vanessa explores why betrayal can feel so psychologically disorganizing, especially when harm comes from someone or something that was supposed to feel safe. We talk about betrayal trauma, betrayal blindness, attachment injury, projection, reality testing, and why not every devastating feeling is the same kind of event. The deeper healing is not becoming harder or more armored, but learning how to grieve specifically, see more clearly, and trust yourself again.Reference Links: Jennifer Freyd — Betrayal Trauma TheoryUse for: Betrayal trauma theory; harm from someone or something a person depends on or trusts.Link: https://dynamic.uoregon.edu/jjf/defineBT.htmlNote: Freyd's site defines betrayal trauma and includes betrayal blindness.Jennifer Freyd — Betrayal BlindnessUse for: Why people may not fully register betrayal when they depend on the person, institution, or system doing harm.Link: https://dynamic.uoregon.edu/jjf/defineBT.htmlNote: The site describes betrayal blindness as unawareness, not-knowing, and forgetting that can preserve relationships, institutions, or systems people depend on.Jennifer Freyd — Research OverviewUse for: General background on Freyd's concepts, including betrayal trauma, betrayal blindness, DARVO, institutional betrayal, and institutional courage.Link: https://www.jjfreyd.com/about-researchNote: Helpful author/researcher page for show notes.Sue Johnson / Emotionally Focused Therapy — Attachment InjuryUse for: Attachment injury and emotionally focused therapy as a framework for repairing relational ruptures.Link: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/6644242_Resolving_Attachment_Injuries_in_Couples_Using_Emotionally_Focused_Therapy_Steps_Toward_Forgiveness_and_ReconciliationNote: Makinen and Johnson's 2006 paper, Resolving Attachment Injuries in Couples Using Emotionally Focused Therapy.Emotionally Focused Therapy / Attachment-Based HealingUse for: Sue Johnson's attachment-based framework for couples, emotional connection, and secure bonding.Link: https://psychwire.com/free-resources/q-and-a/17qfr27/emotionally-focused-therapy-and-attachment-based-healingNote: Accessible overview of Sue Johnson's EFT frame.Peter Fonagy / MentalizationUse for: Mentalization as the capacity to understand behavior in terms of mental states: thoughts, feelings, needs, desires, intentions, and motivations.Link: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7009316/Note: This article gives a clear definition of mentalization and cites Fonagy/Bateman's work.ScienceDirect — Mentalization OverviewUse for: Simple definition of mentalization as understanding one's own and others' behavior in terms of internal mental states.Link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/psychology/mentalizationNote: Useful if producer wants a quick explanatory reference.John Gottman — Trust MetricUse for: Gottman's idea that trust can be evaluated and is central to relationship stability.Link: https://www.gottman.com/blog/trust/Note: Gottman Institute article explaining the “trust metric.”John Gottman — Trust and Betrayal MetricsUse for: Trust/betrayal metrics and the idea that small everyday moments can build or erode trust.Link: https://www.gottman.com/blog/what-makes-love-last-inside-the-love-lab/Note: Gottman Institute article referencing both trust and betrayal metrics.John Gottman — Building Trust Through AttunementUse for: Trust as built through awareness, tolerance, turning toward, understanding, non-defensive listening, and empathy.Link: https://www.gottman.com/blog/the-3-phases-of-love/Note: Useful for the part of the episode about trust being built through consistency, attunement, and repair over time.John Bowlby / Attachment Theory OverviewUse for: Secure base, early bonds, and foundational attachment theory.Link: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4085672/Note: Broad overview of attachment theory and Bowlby/Ainsworth foundations.Earned Secure AttachmentUse for: Adults with insecure early attachment histories developing more secure attachment through reflective and relational work.Link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/psychology/earned-secure-attachmentNote: Use as a broad reference for earned secure attachment.

Looking for ADHD support this summer? My entire 'ADHD Women's Wellbeing Series' is on offer this July. Head here to learn more about the workshops and use code JULY to get 35% off.Now that summer is upon us, it can be both a vibrant and overwhelming time, and can often feel like riding a rollercoaster for your nervous system when you are ADHD or neurodivergent.This season brings a whirlwind of social engagements and activities that ramp up our energy and excitement. But for many of us, this relentless pace leads to overwhelm and burnout if we don't balance that activation with necessary moments of calm. In this episode, we delve into understanding our nervous systems and recognising when we're becoming overactivated.Activation itself isn't the problem; joy, excitement, creativity, travel, and meaningful work can all be activating. But staying in this energy for weeks can lead to reactivity, snapping, disturbed sleep, and emotional exhaustion. Kate shares her tips for bringing balance into daily life through micro mindful moments, rather than waiting for burnout to force you to slow down.You'll hear how you can proactively weave grounding practices into your routine, whether it's a few minutes of breathwork, a walk in nature, or simply pausing to check in with yourself.In this episode, we cover:How summer's whirlwind of social activities can feel exciting but overwhelming, especially for those of us with ADHDWhy understanding the difference between nervous system activation and regulation is key to managing our responses during busy timesDaily moments of regulation aren't luxuries, but necessary maintenance for our well-beingHow grounding activities like yoga, breathwork, or time in nature help us recharge and prevent burnoutWhy listening to our bodies is vital, and how ignoring signs of fatigue often leads to burnoutHow to find a rhythm between activation and regulation, rather than staying in a constant state of high energy or anxiety

Send Jay comments via textUnraveling the Hidden Scarcity Paradigm to Build a True Second Act.On the outside, high-achieving professionals often appear to have everything figured out: successful careers, strong incomes, and polished lives. On the inside, many quietly carry a heavy load of secret shame, perfectionism, and deep anxiety around money or past financial mistakes that stall their next move. Debbie Movsesian—a 20-year cardiology physician assistant turned transformative mind-body coach—joins Jay Ramsden to talk about what happens when you're ready to retire your old role without decommissioning your drive, and how deep-seated patterns keep high-capacity people from stepping into what's next.In this honest, peer-to-peer conversation, Debbie shares her journey from feeling unfulfilled in traditional Western medicine to facing a major financial trauma that forced her to examine her own relationship with scarcity. She breaks down how our early "snow globe paradigms"—the unexamined beliefs about money, achievement, and security formed in childhood—run on autopilot and quietly limit what we believe is possible for our second act. Debbie introduces her Mind-Body Liberation approach, showing how simple somatic tools like Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT tapping) calm a hyper-vigilant nervous system, release old guilt, and create the internal space needed to launch a meaningful second-act project grounded in genuine joy rather than relentless pressure.Strategic Highlights:Retiring the Role, Not the Drive: How to redirect high-performance energy into a second act without carrying over old burnout.The Snow Globe Effect: How invisible childhood money beliefs dictate your adult decisions and career shifts.Releasing Secret Shame: Overcoming the fear of failure, financial mistakes, and the pressure to look "perfect."Somatic Nervous System Reset: Using tapping and body awareness to shift out of fight-or-flight decision-making into Second-Act clarity.Debbie Movsesian Bio (Learn More): Debbie Movsesian is a cardiology physician assistant turned mind-body transformation coach.

The Empowered Spirit Show – Episode 393 Standing in the Hallway: What Happens at the Threshold Have you ever stood at the threshold of something new, a job interview, a social event, a stage, even just putting on a swimsuit, and felt the inner critic go into overdrive before you even walked through the door? In this episode, Terri Ann Heiman explores what she calls "the hallway," that charged space between where you are and where you're going, and why it can be one of the most challenging places to stand. Terri Ann breaks down how the four elements: Air, Fire, Earth, and Water, show up in our bodies and minds when fear takes over. She shares how self-doubt, performance anxiety, emotional flooding, and numbing behaviors (like emotional eating, overspending, and over-scrolling) are all connected to our elements falling out of balance, and how this is at the heart of her upcoming book, Confessions of a Shapeshifter. This episode includes a powerful guided practice combining EFT tapping and Reiki to help you release anxiety, rebalance your energy, and step into any new room feeling grounded, whole, and ready. Terri Ann also introduces her signature method, GAP Tapping™, a framework that brings together tapping, Reiki, shamanic tools, and breathwork to help you break the patterns that keep you stuck. In this episode, you'll hear about: •       The concept of "the hallway" and why it's where self-doubt lives •       How the four elements (air, fire, water, earth) relate to our emotional and mental states •       Why emotional eating and numbing behaviors are never really about the food •       A guided EFT tapping and Reiki meditation to ground and center your energy •       The Masterclass: The Art of the Shape Shift  •       Gene Montroselli's 24-hour Tapping Marathon fundraiser    Ready to go deeper?

In a world filled with noise, opinions, and endless demands on our attention, how do we reconnect with our own inner knowing? In this deeply nourishing conversation, I sit down with Martina Tisljar, founder of MediTap™, speaker, Angel Intuitive, and EFT and Matrix Reimprinting Master Trainer. After a life-altering medical misdiagnosis nearly cost her life, Martina was forced to confront a profound question: What happens when we ignore our inner voice? Together, we explore why so many of us override our intuition, how fear and emotional overwhelm disconnect us from ourselves, and practical ways to regulate our nervous systems so we can make decisions from clarity rather than pressure. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why intuition gets drowned out by fear and conditioning • The hidden cost of living by "should" and "must" • EFT tapping and emotional regulation explained simply • How Matrix Reimprinting helps release old emotional patterns • Why silence, nature, and stillness are essential for healing • The surprising role humility and surrender play in transformation • How to build lasting self-trust in an uncertain world • Why there is nothing wrong with you—and you are never alone This conversation is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and remember the wisdom that has always lived within you.

Send us Fan MailWhat if the reason you keep repeating the same emotional patterns isn't because you're broken—but because your nervous system is still protecting you from a past it believes is happening now?In this episode, I sit down with biochemist, psychotherapist, and creator of Healing From the Body Level Up, Dr. Judith Swack, to explore why insight alone rarely creates lasting change—and how true healing begins when we work with the body, the unconscious mind, and the nervous system together.We dive into the science behind EFT tapping and energy psychology, unpacking how stimulating specific meridian points may help calm the stress response, restore balance, and shift the body out of fight-or-flight. Dr. Swack explains the connection between nerve endings, endorphins, homeostasis, and why emotional trauma often continues to live in the body long after the event has passed.You'll also learn practical techniques you can begin using immediately, including an effective self-hug alternating bicep tapping exercise, breathwork, meditation, and movement practices designed to regulate the nervous system and release stored stress.The conversation then expands into a deeper exploration of healing and alignment. Dr. Swack introduces her four-level model of human experience—the conscious mind, unconscious mind, body, and soul—and explains how misalignment across these levels can contribute to anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, addiction, insomnia, and the feeling of being outwardly successful while inwardly unfulfilled.Through compelling client stories and decades of clinical experience, she offers a grounded, science-informed perspective on trauma, PTSD, emotional healing, and what it truly means to live in alignment with your deepest purpose.Whether you're navigating unresolved trauma, chronic stress, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, this conversation offers practical tools, fresh perspectives, and genuine hope for lasting transformation.If this episode resonates with you, please subscribe, share it with someone who may benefit, and leave a review to help support future conversations.Support the showThank you for listening

Can tapping help calm MS stress and anxiety? In this episode of Living Well with MS, host Geoff Allix speaks with Lauren Fonvielle, an Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT, Trainer, about tapping as a tool for stress reduction, emotional awareness and nervous system regulation.  Lauren explains what EFT is, why it is sometimes called tapping, and how it combines gentle pressure on acupressure points with acknowledging thoughts and emotions out loud. She shares how tapping helped her manage anxiety and panic attacks, and discusses how the practice may help people feel calmer, more grounded and better able to process difficult emotions.  The conversation also explores the science behind EFT, how it may fit into the Overcoming MS stress reduction pillar, when to seek support from a trained practitioner, and why tuning into your own words and feelings matters.  Watch this episode on YouTube.

Welcome to the Leading Edge in Emotionally Focused Therapy, hosted by Drs. James Hawkins, Ph.D., LPC, and Ryan Rana, Ph.D., LMFT, LPC—Renowned ICEEFT Therapists, Supervisors, and Trainers. We're thrilled to have you with us. We believe this podcast, a valuable resource, will empower you to push the boundaries in your work, helping individuals and couples connect more deeply with themselves and each other. In this episode, Dr. James Hawkins and Dr. Ryan Reyna walk into the heart of Stage 2 EFT and ask a hard question: How do you get the most out of YOU when every path forward involves pain? Drawing on stories from haunted houses, combat medicine, and oncology surgery, they unpack what it means to be the stronger, wiser other—not as a top-down expert, but as a steady, emotionally present guide when clients' eyes are begging, “Please don't make me go there.” You'll hear how to: Stay confident and regulated in deep Stage 2 work Use your own limbic system, intensity, and presence in service of healing Avoid “over-validating” clients out of depth Become relentless but attuned when working with shame, trauma, and withdrawer re-engagement Here are the top 10 points from the episode in bullet format, tailored for therapists: Therapist consistency is heroic work Therapists, like elite athletes or Navy SEALs, show up and train relentlessly—session after session—often without recognition, but this consistency is what makes deep Stage 2 work possible. You are the “stronger, wiser other” in Stage 2 Borrowing from Bowlby, the therapist's role is to be a grounded, slightly leading presence—not hierarchical, but a steady guide who believes in the clients' capacity to go deeper. Clients need your confidence more than your explanations In Stage 2, detailed EFT mapping is less helpful than a calm, “I know where we're going; we can do this together” energy. Tone matters: gentle, invitational, and regulated—not pushy or detached. Every real option involves pain—but not the same kind of pain If you back away when clients say “don't make me do this,” you protect them now but leave unregulated pain to hurt them later. If you stay with them in the fear and shame, you create constructive, healing pain that opens the door to new patterns. Self-coaching: what do YOU need to hear in the chair? Therapists need internal scripts/mantras (e.g., “No one gets left behind on the battlefield”). Drawing on mentors, attachment figures, faith, or personal values can help you stay present when you want to retreat. Use your own limbic system—and the partner's—to share the load Strategic use of “we” (“We'll go there together,” “We can face this”) helps clients feel they're not alone. The therapist can consciously bring their own emotional presence and the partner's caregiving energy to bear on the hardest moments. Relentless, attuned fighting for the client Ryan names his intensity and even competitiveness as assets: he refuses to let the cycle “win.” Clients often experience this as, “You fought for us more than we fought for ourselves,” which becomes contagious and regulating—as long as it stays tethered to alliance and repair. Validation and celebration must be timed and dosed well Over-validating or celebrating too soon can pull clients out of depth, like doing a cold plunge right after a hard muscle-building workout. Validation should support staying with the core emotion, not remove the heat from the room prematurely. Withdrawer re-engagement is “drip by drip” work Ryan uses the oncologic surgery metaphor: you don't want to close up while leaving “half the tumor” (unworked shame, trauma, negative self-views) inside. Stage 2 requires repetition and reps—going back into the “torture chamber” scenes multiple times so the body learns, “I don't have to do this alone anymore.” Homework: study your A-game and your use of self Notice what you do when you're at your best: your presence, nonverbals, timing, intensity, or way of breathing/pausing. Ask: How am I regulating me? How am I using me as the tool? Then intentionally amplify those strengths and clarify what needs adjustment (e.g., less rescuing, more tolerating pain, smarter use of validation). We aim to equip therapists with practical tools and encouragement for addressing relational distress. We're also excited to be part of the team behind Success in Vulnerability (SV)—your premier online education platform. SV offers innovative instruction to enhance your therapeutic effectiveness through exclusive modules and in-depth clinical examples.    Stay connected with us: Facebook: Follow our page @pushtheleadingedge Ryan: Follow @ryanranaprofessionaltraining on Facebook and visit his website James: Follow @dochawklpc on Facebook and Instagram, or visit his website at dochawklpc.com George Faller: Visit georgefaller.com If you like the concepts discussed on this podcast you can explore our online training program, Success in Vulnerability (SV).

Welcome to the Leading Edge in Emotionally Focused Therapy, hosted by Drs. James Hawkins, Ph.D., LPC, and Ryan Rana, Ph.D., LMFT, LPC—Renowned ICEEFT Therapists, Supervisors, and Trainers. We're thrilled to have you with us. We believe this podcast, a valuable resource, will empower you to push the boundaries in your work, helping individuals and couples connect more deeply with themselves and each other. In this episode of The Leading Edge in Emotionally Focused Therapy, James and Ryan explore the “sequela” — the long-term fallout — of the burnout pursuer and how that shows up in both Stage 1 and Stage 2 EFT. They unpack what it means to truly witness a burned-out pursuer's journey instead of trying to “get them to move,” why holdouts are such a powerful (and costly) survival strategy, and how to work with the unique shame of someone who feels, “I hate myself for still loving you.” You'll hear practical ways to: Stay grounded with a pursuer who's done protesting and now just shows up with crossed arms Do the kind of historical witnessing that feels more like a series of emotional “massages” than a quick intervention Use hope scenes and the “big three” moments of failed hope in Stage 2 to create deep limbic revision Support re-engagement without accidentally reenacting the very patterns that burned them out in the first place Top 10 Points from the Episode “Sequela” as a frame: Ryan uses “sequela” (the long-term consequences) to describe what we're really dealing with in a burnout pursuer—not just current behavior, but the accumulated fallout of thousands of drops, failed bids, and unresolved pain. Burnout pursuer = mixed signals + survival strategy: Burnout pursuers send mixed messages to their partner, the therapist, and themselves. What looks like manipulation or a “power move” is actually an adaptive survival strategy to cope with feeling helpless and repeatedly dropped. Historical witnessing is non‑negotiable: Stage 1 work with burnout pursuers requires slow, repeated, historical witnessing—not “forget the past, let's start over.” The therapist invites them to tell the journey of how they got this burned out, and stays with the horror and grief of it instead of talking them out of it. The “holdout” dynamic: A burnout pursuer may show up in therapy with arms crossed, essentially saying, “I'm here, but I'm not moving until my partner proves it.” That holdout protects them, but also rigidly locks the cycle in place, sometimes even raising the bar as the withdrawer improves. Therapist stance: release the need to make them move: James names a crucial shift: the therapist must let go of the internal pressure to get the pursuer to move. The more the therapist pushes, the more the pursuer's nervous system feels pressured and unsafe. The work becomes: “James, just be with what is. Give witness to their journey.” Stage 1 as repeated “emotional massage”: Ryan likens the work to a series of massages—one session won't undo years of knots. The therapist returns multiple times to witnessing, validating, and grieving with the pursuer, even as this can be very hard on the withdrawer who's just starting to “get it.” Unique shame of the burnout pursuer: There's a specific shame: “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me thousands of times… shame on me.” Many burnout pursuers feel, “I love you, and I hate myself for the fact that I love you.” Without naming and working this shame, they can't risk hope again. Stage 2: asking them to care‑give again is huge: When the couple “dumps over” into Stage 2, the burnout pursuer is often asked to sit with and respond to their partner's vulnerability first. This can re-evoke the old experience: “Once again, it's not about me.” Naming how much is being asked of them is essential. The “big three” hope scenes as core Stage 2 work: Effective Stage 2 softening with burnout pursuers often requires revisiting 2–3 symbolic “big hope” moments (e.g., an elaborate romantic trip) where they risked, hoped, and were dropped. These hope scenes become key sites for deep grief, attachment injury work, and limbic revision—otherwise, it's like leaving a tumor behind and relapse risk stays high. From vision → witness → visual redemption (the “eye” theme): Pursuers are visionaries—they can see how good the relationship could be, but that visionary energy often works against them. They need: Witness in Stage 1 & early Stage 2: someone who really sees the journey of their drops and failed hopes. Visual redemption in late Stage 2: in Step 7, the re-engaged withdrawer looks at them and clearly names, how I see you—lovable, worth fighting for, beautiful, someone I want to be with. That attuned “I see you” becomes a redemptive corrective to years of being unseen and dropped. We aim to equip therapists with practical tools and encouragement for addressing relational distress.

Have you ever known exactly what you should be doing in your business, yet still found yourself avoiding it? Whether it's posting on social media, following up with prospects, raising your rates, or having sales conversations, many entrepreneurs struggle with taking consistent action on the activities that generate revenue. In this Mastering Excellence episode of the Sales Maven Show, Nikki Rausch sits down with EFT tapping expert Nancy Linnerooth to explore why smart, capable women entrepreneurs often get stuck in patterns of procrastination, self-sabotage, and avoidance. Nancy combines her experience as a Harvard-trained attorney, therapist, and EFT practitioner to help women identify and release subconscious blocks that keep them from reaching their next level of success. Together, Nikki and Nancy unpack the hidden beliefs that can influence everything from visibility and confidence to money, leadership, and business growth. The conversation explores how Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), commonly known as tapping, can help uncover subconscious patterns that traditional mindset work may miss. Nancy shares examples of the surprising beliefs that often surface during tapping sessions and explains how those beliefs can quietly prevent entrepreneurs from taking action, even when they know exactly what to do. Nikki also shares her personal experience participating in a tapping session with Nancy and discusses the powerful shifts that can happen when long-held beliefs are finally released. If you've ever wondered why you keep delaying important business activities despite your best intentions, this episode offers a fascinating look into what may be happening beneath the surface.       In this episode, learn: Why women entrepreneurs often avoid revenue-generating activities How subconscious beliefs influence business decisions Common money blocks that keep entrepreneurs stuck What EFT tapping is and how it works How childhood experiences can shape beliefs about success and money Why procrastination is often a symptom, not the root problem How tapping helps uncover and release limiting beliefs Ways to reduce resistance and take action with more confidence       A question to consider: What is the revenue-generating activity you've been avoiding lately? And what belief might be hiding underneath that resistance?       Sometimes the challenge is not a lack of strategy or knowledge.
