Your girl is in one of the most transformative seasons of her life - including my Saturn return gettin' started, a complete identity unraveling (back to 'factory settings' and who I really am), and (yay happy news!!)- getting engaged. And in the midst of it allll since last Fall, I realized something I never saw coming: I had become so good at optimizing my life/success that I accidentally optimized myself out of my true 100% genuine self expression & joy. In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing the surprising subconscious patterns that shaped my ambition, how/why my body started speaking louder than my mind ever could, and the profound difference between your survival identity and your true essence. If you've ever felt like you're performing your life instead of fully living it, or existing too in your 'head' and the 'strategy' of it all instead of the authentic pleasure of this life experience for the sake of LIFE ITSELF, this conversation will help you come home to the version of you that is TRUEST.  PSSST - some serious breakthough questions at the end of this episode for ya, GRAB YOUR JOURNAL!!!!!   ⭐️  Join us in Dreamaway TO TAP ON THISSSS (see below) + for so many resources to help you get UNSTUCK including 40+ Dreamaway-exclusive tapping sessions (90 minutes of deep-dive subconscious rewiring/EFT tapping), visualizations, 40+ tapping "Money Dates" (abundance programming), daily tapping videos, weekly energy readings, astrological updates, and so much more! https://haleyhoffmansmith.com/dreamaway I ALWAYS KNEW: From Who You Had to Be, to Who You Always Were | Saturday, June 20th 1:00-2:30pm ET This session is about returning to YOU. Not the optimized version of you… not your 'survival identity' who learned to perform, succeed, people-please, shape-shift, or stay palatable. We're talkin' the REAL you. The one who has existed underneath all the conditioning the entire time and looks a lot like your preteen self, dreaming big for your beautiful life.   We're going deep on the subtle identities we unconsciously built in order to be loved, chosen, safe, impressive, productive, "good," or successful… and clearing the exhaustion of carrying versions of yourself that were never fully true. Because somewhere along the way, many of us learned to disconnect from our natural desires, our creativity, our softness, our weirdness, our joy, our bigness, our voice in order to 'win approval' or 'stay safe'. This session is the return…. And the reactivation of best case scenario future envisioning, on YOUR unique terms. No one else's. Time to step back onto your custom blueprint life timeline and experience more success and bliss than ever as a result.

Du kannst noch so „funktionieren“: erfolgreich sein, leisten, dich zusammenreißen, sogar an dir arbeiten.Und trotzdem irgendwann merken: Warum fühle ich mich nicht wirklich verbunden? Warum treffe ich Entscheidungen eher aus dem Kopf als aus mir heraus? Warum spüre ich mich selbst so selten?In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Adelheid Löhrer darüber, was „authentisch Mensch sein“ wirklich bedeutet – und warum es für viele von uns nicht daran scheitert, dass wir keine Intuition haben, sondern dass wir gelernt haben, ihr nicht zu vertrauen.Wir reden über Bindungstrauma, über Schutzprogramme im Nervensystem (Kampf/Flucht/Erstarrung), über die Angst vor dem Spüren – und darüber, wie du Schritt für Schritt wieder in Kontakt mit Körper, Herz und innerer Wahrheit kommst.Es geht nicht um den nächsten „Selbstoptimierungs-Hack“.Sondern um das, was oft davor kommt: Akzeptanz, kleine Mikro-Schritte, Verkörperung und sichere Verbindung (auch durch Begleitung), damit Veränderung nicht nur verstanden, sondern wirklich gelebt werden kann.

Part one of Kiera's conversation with Howard Farran on the Dentaltown podcast. They discuss how many details a dentist should know about their business, what about the COVID-19 pandemic still haunts practices, the AI of dentistry and the human care of patients, hidden gaps draining profitability, and more. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: The Dental A Team (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners, this is Kiera. And today we are sharing a guest interview I did on another podcast. And it was too valuable not to bring you guys here.   this episode, you're gonna hear this host lead the conversation and then I'll wrap us up at the end. I cannot wait. It was truly one of my most   episodes and I truly hope you enjoy.   The Dental A Team (00:17) It's just a huge honor for me today to bring back Kiera Dent. How are you doing, Kiera? my gosh, Howard. It's so great to be back. I remember my very first podcast with you. I was actually at an office in Alabama and I went like hid in this room because I was starstruck podcasting with you. So to be able to be back on the show with you ⁓ several years later is just fun. I love what you guys are doing. I love Dentaltown. I love your posts. so it's really fun to be back. So thank you. ⁓ the honor is all mine. Just remember Kiera likes Shakira.   And Dent is just her nickname. The full name is Dental Queen Goddess. So thank you. And ⁓ she is the founder and CEO of the Dental A Team, committed to elevating dentists and their teams to their highest level through customized in-office and virtual consulting and training. Her vast experience ranges from the front office to assistant, regional manager, and dental practice owner, giving her a perspective few consultants can claim.   She and her team work with hundreds of dental practices nationwide and confidently say we don't just understand you, we are you. Among her many accomplishments, Ciara has grown a practice from 500,000 to 2.4 million in just nine months with a doctor straight out of dental school. She's coached hundreds of practices, authored numerous articles, and designed a customizable operations manual manual that serves as a roadmap for systems and team success.   Her Dental A Team podcast has amassed nearly 2 million downloads, making it one of the most impactful resources in all of dentistry. Kiera lives every day by her core values. Do the right thing, ownership, passion for excellence, ease, grit, innovator, die, and fun. Her motto says it all. There is always a solution. And my gosh, I just want to tell you the truth. And the reason I was so excited to bring you on. It seems like dentistry has turned into two groups of dentists.   There's all the old farts like me who, you know, we had, you know, we had great practices, great lives, great careers. And then you got these younger dentists that look at us and say, ⁓ man, you graduated in the good old days. You know, you didn't have five hundred thousand dollars of student loans, you didn't have DSOs, Delta hasn't given us a raise in four generations, and and and they're mad at the ADA. I think they're even mad at their mom. I I they're I think so and they're not happy. Do you have any good news?   For these dental graduates with $500,000 of student loans, or did they make the wrong decision and should have become a plumber? I mean, you know, plumbing is always a backup plan if dentistry doesn't work. So I think you're like at least in that realm. Like, you know, there's always options. But I love dentistry and I actually, ⁓ I think we're actually in the best time of dentistry. And I know that yes, there's the good old days. Then Howard, those were great days for you. But I think like, how many options do people have now? We have AI, we have these innovations, and I mean.   Your my example of a student straight out of dental school, we actually had one million. So I actually called her 2.5 because we had $2.5 million. So from student debt to practice loan debt to buying another location, all within a couple of months of us starting the practice. And so I called her 2.5 every time I walked past her. I was like, get that back straight, girl. Like we got 2.5 mil of debt on us. but to be able to grow our practice in nine months was   Absolutely incredible. And I think that that's where dentistry is amazing. There is no cap, there is no ceiling, and you have a way to truly impact and change people's lives. And I'm like, you have DSOs as options. Like there were not the times where you were getting the multiples that you get today. You also have like there are so many avenues that dentistry can afford you. but I think it's a it's a matter of what you choose to focus on, is what you're going to find more of. If you want to sit here and say, ⁓ my gosh, it's awful. We have 500,000 of debt. And I'm like, Yeah, but guess what? My husband had   Not quite the same, but we had several hundreds, thousands of dollars of debt. And he's a pharmacist. And so I understand what it's like to come out of school and have hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt on us. But guess what? He's making, you know, hundred, hundred and fifty. If we're lucky on a good day, we're capped out. It took us forever to pay back our student loans. But as dentistry, you have untapped and uncapped potential. And so for me, you get to change people's lives, you get to give them confidence, you get to help them have better health, and you're able to make people smile like.   I can't think of a better opportunity to be a part of. And I'm not just Pollyanna over here. I coach hundreds and thousands of offices. I've seen the good, the bad, the ugly, and the in between. But I'll tell you, depending upon how you choose to view this, you can either find the good or the bad. And I'd recommend like, let's find the great because it's a gold line of opportunity if you want to see it. What what do you say to dentists who say, Mm-mm, you know, I I really don't want to complain really a bit. I mean, on paper my   My practice looks perfect. I got two hygienists. I do a million dollars. I do all this, but just internally it just feels chaotic and stressful. So it looks like on paper he's doing everything right. But she says, I still feel like chaos and stress. What's what's that about? I think like welcome to being a business owner. I think that there's two sides of success. In the word success, there's literally the word suck. Like there are parts of success that are going to suck. Like that's just how it is, guys.   And so that chaos and internal turmoil, I think I there I have lots of offices where you don't have to be that way. And I think going from like operator doing all the pieces, being stressed out into like a CEO of a business. ⁓ I think sometimes dentists are such gunners doers, they're so hands-on that they have this internal chaos. But there there are paths again that don't have to be that way. But I also think this is part of the game of business that we signed up for. And I think when you get to the level like Howard.   You've seen, I've seen over our career, we've got the gunners and the doers and the like zero to two year business owners. Like it's freaking chaos. It's psycho. Like you're learning these things just like you're back in dental school. But as you mature, you start to realize that the chaos is just part of the game. And the more you're able to learn to weather it, to see it, and to not do all the pieces, elevate your team, get great people, do like hire it out. You can hire, I mean, a practice is doing a million and you got great profitability and overhead.   You can hire a lot of great people to take away a lot of your problems. And so like, let's get some of those things done. And then you actually become happier and you make more money. So that you don't have to sit in that chaos. I think that there's a part of it that will always suck. but there's also a part that can really be the successful part too, that's fulfillment and enjoyment. But you got to make the steps and take the steps to do it rather than just sit and complain about it.   Love it, love it, love it. ⁓ what do you what do you say about the ⁓ the dentist who got out of school, goes and works for a major DSO, say say he's working for Rick Workman, Heartland, and he works there two years, and you know, he you know, he's working for a guy that owns eighteen, nineteen hundred dental offices, but he can't tell you the code for a profit. Can't he'll say, like, you know, are they paying my pay right? Really? You can't check at you. I mean, it it's like   It's like they'll listen to a forty hour lecture on the difference between two different composites, but they did I mean th they worked through two years, they don't know insurance codes, they can't check out a patient, they don't know the software. I mean, I had one guy tell me, ⁓ the only thing you could tell me about the practice manager software is the brand name. He couldn't tell me and then he's asking me, you know, it what which one you know, but anyway, do you think do you think a dentist doesn't need to know all the business details?   Or do you think that's a blind spot and you can't delegate anything till you can do it and master it? I think that there's two types of owners. And I think that there's some that are really great at hiring people that they are great at hiring people, knowing it, listening to podcasts, hiring coaches, training the team, and like having somebody spot check for you. Then there's others that like they've got to know the ins and outs. But I think that like Howard, there's   To me, there's also a middle ground where I think that you can go sit with your biller for one day and just like say, like, walk me through your process. So you have a general idea and an understanding of what they do. Go watch to see how they schedule. ⁓ I think when it comes to billing, I do think the dentists have a very big blind spot. And to me, that is like as a business owner, not to know how your money comes to you. To me, that feels like a pretty big blind spot of like even just understanding that knowledge. And so   If I were to say, I don't think you need to know the ins and outs. I love like I recognize this. I was a business owner of it. I own practices. I worked with hundreds of dentists at Midwestern University's Dental College. Like, I hear what you guys are taught. Plus, I'm a team member on the other side. And so I created a billing course and an office manager course because I just want a dentist to know like, what should I be able to expect? And I think like if you want to just have a general overview so you don't get blindsided, you you can have it. I think you can quickly within like a week.   Know the bulk of like everything you need to know in a practice very simply, very easily. So that way you can delegate. That way you can have it. You're not gonna be perfect. but I think just having a general awareness. And then I love to give doctors just a quick checklist, like once a month, go spot check, go grab an EOB. Even if you don't know what the heck that EOB is, go ask your front office for it, check it. And just the more you learn that language, just like the language of business, I think it doesn't need to be an overnight sensation.   But I do think the more you're aware of it, I don't think you have to do every single role though to be a successful practice owner. And I mean, shoot, if Heartland can do it, I think it's a good example. But I think who are you? And are you a hands-on tactical person? Are you somebody who's really good at hiring people, t trusting other people, getting the checklist and spot checking? I think you can do it either way. But my recommendation is like just like one week, go like sit in every seat of your practice and get a general awareness and educate yourself on the things that you don't know. I'm really big on money, understanding at least how insurance works. And then also how do we like   present cases, what are kind of the flow that way those big zones that really impact your financials, you can you can be aware of. So those courses, those online CE courses, your website is The Dental A Team. The Dental A Team. Now I think the A Team, you need that guy with the Mohawk and all the bling. I mean that's who I am in my like spare time. This hair is just a facade. Like, you know, I hang out as Mr T. Mr T. Mr T, Mr T, yeah.   That's why I was thinking the A Team, but is that on your on your website, the th those courses? Yeah, they are. So we have an online library, it's all C E. We've got downloadable checklists, we've got operations manual. You got it. That's exactly right. And Howard, in real time, I'll have our marketing team actually put together a code. If you guys put in Dentaltown, since you're listening, we'll make sure that you guys get a coupon code for that as well. Well, since it's my compass podcast IRS that you just put Fabio.   you want Fabio? Okay. well in that case. So ⁓ so is I also see you have a ⁓ Summit twenty twenty six is live on Friday, April twenty fourth. Grab your ticket. Where's where's that show gonna be? Is it Reno where you are? You know, that's actually virtual, Howard, and it's one of our like favorite comebacks constantly. And the reason I do it virtual, people have been asking me for years, like, why don't you do it in person, Kiera? And what I found is   Because it's so like again as a team member, I really struggle to get my team ramped up, amped up, and have it be financially affordable. So what I found is if we can have it virtual in your practice with your full team, you guys are able to get this boost and surge of energy and have a good time. So it's for leadership teams, it's for doctors. ⁓ we've been doing it for six years strong and we tend to have hundreds of offices. You get your whole office there, you have a good time.   But yeah, it's virtual and it's C E and it's a great time. ⁓ I attend a lot of Tony Robbins, a lot of Brendan Bouchard, Rachel Hollis. So we've learned how to do people have told me the online experience is so fun. ⁓ we just get continual people coming back year after year after year. So yeah, come join us. It'd be a great time. I love Tony Robbins because ⁓ you know, my boys they wrestled year round from age five to fifteen.   Yeah. Made our garage. I got two real wrestling mats from the manufacturer in Pennsylvania delivered by an AJ Miller. So I never ever parked in my garage ever. And we would we were listening to that Tony Robbins 30 day, 30 day personal power. Yep. And then I and then I bought my first laptop when I went to MBA school. And so I took notes on it. And then when I was done, I I ⁓ closed down Saturday and I went to a studio Saturday, Sunday, and I ranted out my notes.   And I said, this has got to be 30 hours because I mean it's still Tony Robbins 30 day personal power. And that was the 30-day dental MBA. ⁓ and it worked out to be about thirty hours. But I'm telling you, the pandemic changed everything. That was when ⁓ online CE at Dentaltown just went through the roof and it hasn't come back and dental meetings haven't come back. Cause why do I need to fly to Chicago to listen to you if I got a Zoom call or   or streaming video or this event. I mean, I mean, just think of the plane ticket, the hotel, the sitting and attending. If you're in Phoenix, you know, just to get to New York is a five hour flight. I mean, why I I gotta fly five hours each way when I could see you on YouTube or a podcast or or whatever. But I wanna but I want to go back to that pandemic because that pandemic, I really think the reason you can really do this so successfully today is because of that pandemic. That's why we realize   I don't have to be in the flesh to learn knowledge. And and like I I I feel fine talking to you. I me too. The only thing I regret is teaching my mother how to do that. I got her FaceTime and all that kind of stuff. And because she calls to tell me about ever every one of her exciting things is junk mail she has. She's eighty seven and she believes every piece of junk mail. I love it. She's always free freaking out on her junk mail. But but I want to talk about the pan the dark side of the pandemic.   And that is a lot of people think about 20% of the hygienists left to practice. Before, you know, when I got out of school, your labor was supposed to be twenty percent, your overhead was supposed to be fifty percent. And by the time it was it didn't even take 10 or 20 years, and and due to insurance, I think not keeping up, ⁓ overhead went to basically two thirds. It went to about sixty-five percent and labor went to about twenty five, sometimes twenty-seven percent.   I'm hearing thirty percent labor all the time. And I mean I mean I'm talking about serious dudes who know the business of dentistry. And I don't I don't want to get my buddy Rick Kirstram out of me. He owns a hundred comfort dentals and he said he can't he said he's got the mean and lean where labor is twenty. He says he's got mean and leans with labor at twenty-eight, twenty-eight and a half. So so the the pandemic is ⁓ it that was five years ago. Why do you think it   seriously impacted labor cost of the pandemic. I do, Howard. And I think I think we kind of have this perfect storm, right? Like I think we've got multiple waves coming at us that have impacted. I think the pandemic pushed out those that were like, you know, I'm done. Like, like I'm good. I'm at the end of my career. I don't really want to do that. ⁓ a lot of hygienists are female and I think a lot of them realize they did not need two incomes anymore. And so it's like, you know, I want to be with my kids. I want to be home.   And then hygiene schools don't pump out a lot of hygienists and it's usually like a two year span. So yes, I have actually seen like hygiene is it really did, and then it clicked up. So the cost of hygienist has gone up astronomically. I mean, I think the highest I've seen of a hygienist being paid was 85 an hour. And to me, I was like, at that point, that was up in ⁓ it was up in Washington, up by Bellevue, Mount Vernon, that area. And I literally saw the the posting for 85 plus a a bonus, and I was like,   Screw that at that point. Like in all respect to hygienists, I'm gonna hire a dentist for that cost. Like I truly will. And that's not being disrespectful. It's just like a dentist is a more multifaceted. I understand they are not great hygienists, but if I have to and I'm gonna be putting this number up, like we've got to get to a space where it does work. So yes, I do. However, there are more hygienists coming onto the market. I still know that this is one of the hardest things, but ⁓ I have a practice that's out in Maui, rough life, huh, Howard? I get to fly to Maui to go do work, like.   You know, shout out to that office. ⁓ but what we found is we were able to find a way to get the hygienist to be paid exponentially higher by doing assisted hygiene. And so I think I'm seeing people innovate. I think I'm watching them create. I think I'm seeing people do some more outsourced costs in the front office. And so they're able to then offset the costs of the clinical team. ⁓ I think that people are just getting innovative and creative. And what I want to highlight is while this feels annoying, this is also business. And if we don't innovate and if we don't continue to evolve,   We actually decay and decline as an as an organization and as an industry. And so I know it's annoying and I absolutely empathize. And you're right. Like for me on our payroll, we're at 30%. Like I've had that as our metric for our clients for the last five years because payroll costs have gone up. But I'm like, but just because they've gone up, like let's look at several other industries. I mean, we're not here to like love on or hate on McDonald's, but I'm like, they have kiosks. They figured it out.   I checked in at a hotel in downtown San Francisco. There was no person there when I checked in. It was literally a person on Zoom just like this. I clicked in, they said hello to me. They took my information, but they didn't have to have a physical body in the office. And I think with AI and technology, dentistry is going to evolve, but I think the art and the care of patients does not need to evolve. And so, like, let's put our dollars where that matters and let's be able to look and innovate in other ways that keep our costs low. ⁓ I still think dentistry, I mean, why is there a one percent default rate on loans? Like,   Banks are still lending. We had the first down year of DSOs last year and the first uptick of private practice last year. And so when I look at these things, like it is still a great business to be in, even though labor costs, like, guys, again, it's just another flavor of business. So like let's figure out how to innovate. Let's figure out how to do it. And like, yes, I'm gonna pay for great people. I see team members as assets, not liabilities. And I'm gonna cut and chop on other areas that I can, but I'm also gonna be smart with my labor costs and make sure each person hitting their KPIs, they've got numbers that they're driving.   We are running this as an efficient business while like loving and taking care of our patients at the same time. I'm glad you mentioned bank loans because it's less than one percent default rate. Yes. All the defaults have the same thing in common. They all had their license taken away. Right. Always. And and if it's for drugs or alcohol, they now treat that as a medical disease. And the dentists still say, Screw you, I'm not gonna quit doing biking. And then they run south of the border. And that's why whenever you find a dentist down there that looks like me.   They're running for free Vicada. They they they said I'm not peeing any. So unless you, you know, do something just horrible. I mean, and you know, you have you have to get your it licensed in your way. But I w I wanna tell you about you know, there's just so many other things that you can focus on besides labor, like increasing their productivity. ⁓ I know dental offices. you can get a full if you pay a dentist in the Philippines five dollars an hour.   You get the best dentists in the Philippines. And I and there's dental offices that with Zoom and things like that are doing all their insurance and their claims and all that stuff. I mean, ⁓ so the with with with ⁓ with the internet, I mean you can literally have someone ⁓ be at the front desk ⁓ on a on a kiosk that's actually a dentist from the Philippines from five dollars an hour who when he's not busy can be calling your insurance companies all that. I I want to ask you another thing that's really hot on Dentaltown.   today. Everybody keeps talking about these dental insurance EFTs versus virtual credit cards. but basically everybody's reporting that major dental companies like even Delta are gonna stop sending paper checks and you gotta do it all electronic. And I guess that that electronic could be free, but it could be you know it could be another three and a half or three percent credit card fee on all your claims. Or what or what are your thoughts on all that? I'm hard on that   I have and I'm a hard no on the credit cards. Like, why? Why are you doing that? EFTs are so fast. Like there's absolutely no reason to be paying this. Explain to my home. A lot of them don't even know what a EFT. Mo I I bet 80% of the the dentists listen don't even know what we're talking about. Will you explain it? Will you explain it like I just graduated from dental school eight minutes ago? Of course. Well, I think that this is also where going back a little bit where you said, like, do dentists need to know the business? To me.   You don't even have to know that much, but I want to just challenge you that if you're getting a three, three and a half percent cut on your payments for quote unquote ease, that's a real big hit. And I would just challenge you to think about like for what and why. And so coming in, there's different ways the insurances are going to pay you. So they're gonna pay you via paper check, they're gonna pay you via EFT, which is a electronic fund transfer, or they've got this new thing where they're gonna pay you via credit card. And like honestly, to me, the credit card is so scammy.   And I've talked to so many people and like educate me, like, why would anybody do this? Like, I cannot comprehend. Like, I'm already taking a cut on insurance as is. Like, thank you for my marketing fee to be an insurance. Like, that's how I view that that write-off. Like, I know you hate it, but you're also gonna, you're either gonna have to do that, or you're gonna have to pay for marketing to bring in fee for service patients. So, like, again, let's just think about that. But I'm like, so I've already got a cut there, but I'm then gonna take another hit in addition to that for a credit card ease.   So as we're talking about that electronic fund transfers, they deposit straight into your bank account. The reason that some offices don't care for electronic fund transfers is because like trying to match it up is a like it kind of dumps and chunks into your bank account. So all you need to do is help your team members. Like there's ways that you can have it where it automatically emails your team when that comes through. So then they can go online and they can find out what the EFT was, so then they can balance and like enter it in.   I do think dentistry software is so dated because what happens is when we get paid from the insurance company, we get either like it's called an EOB, it's an explanation of benefits, and it's like batch checks. So when they dump this money to you, Delta's gonna give me like 20 grand. But like, who do I allocate that 20 grand to of all these patients? So that's I think where some people have like, well, electronic funds are so annoying and this and that. But I'm like, they're very quick, they're very fast, they're a lot safer than paper checks. Paper checks people do get embezzled on.   That I literally see no reason. Like, I don't care if you get it like one day sooner with a credit card, you are paying a huge hefty fee on that unnecessarily when electronic fund transfers are pretty much just as fast. Like maybe a like smidgey of a delay. But to me, that's a that's a very worthwhile smidgey of a delay. Because you're getting your payments so much faster. And as long as you're staying on top of it, you should still be able to maintain a 98% collections rate, even if you do checks or if you do electronic fund transfers. It just is so.   So dumb. I've yet to see a reason. But to me, I'm like insurances are so smart because it's just another way for them to take a chip out of what they're paying you and to have it come back to them. So again, think of the motive as to why they're offering. These people are not dumb. Those insurance companies, if you've ever gone to a business who's the biggest building in the entire city, it's your insurance companies. They're not dumb businesses. And I think we need to be smarter business owners that out think that. They always but Delta always says, we're   Yeah, so is Rolex Watch. Rolex Watch is a non profit. And and some of the CEOs of some of the anyway, we won't go there. But ⁓ yeah, ⁓ so what other ⁓ besides you know, when when someone tells me about their overhead, I tell them, look, I can't call the government and have my tax rate lowered. I can't call the nuclear power plant SRP or APS and tell them to lower my electric bill. I mean, something I i if the hygienists can   Wants a dollar an hour and if I say no, I'll give you 75 cents and she can go get a dollar across the street. I mean the market sets many, many prices. So the only way to fight that back is to ⁓ increase your productivity. You know, I mean if if if you have a dollar in labor and they do a dollar in dentistry, your overhead is a hundred percent. But if your dollar in overhead can do two dollars in dentistry, now it's down to fifty percent. So how so ⁓ are there other   ⁓ hidden gaps that are quietly draining profitability, or has it just come down to production? Or is it both I like I'm so glad you brought this up because I think like it's so easy to sit here and say, like, dentistry's not profitable. But I'm like, go find me another business that has a one percent fell rate that usually can run twenty to thirty percent profit margins if you run a business right. And this is not just Kiera sitting here fluff. This is like I got real clients running at these margins consistently. They've got large practices, small practices.   And so when I look at this and I'm like, okay, how do we make this more efficient? A lot of people want to go to the first thing of like, let's cut insurances. And I'm like, yay, pop the confetti, but be real smart. Because again, you're gonna then increase marketing fees, you're gonna lose a lot of your patient base. Like, let's just think through the ramifications. And so there's lots of different ways that we can increase productivity and not have to go for the cut. So I look at three levers that I found that can increase a practice. So one is we can increase our production. We're talking net production, not gross, like please feed your family, not your ego. So that's number one.   Number two is what's your collection percentage? Cause half the time doctors feel like they're broke and they don't have money, but your money's sitting in AR, which is your aging reports or your accounts receivable. We're not collecting the money and we don't have a good billing process. We got to get our collections up to 98%. And then the third thing is like we cut costs. And so looking at that, a lot of people want to go to just cut costs. I'm like, but in dentistry, let's break it down. If I want to add 10 grand more to my practice.   I love to help teams. Most offices are working four days a week. So if we're wanting to add 10 grand to a practice, working four days a week, let's do 10,000 and we're working 16 days a month. That's an extra six twenty-five a day. Well, how can we make six twenty-five in a dental practice? Let's think about our fluoride applications. Let's think about FMXs. Like I'm just talking, this is your lowest hanging fruit for you. Let's talk about could we add one or two fillings? Could we add like same-day dentistry, which is going to make more raving fans for our patients? There is so much ease in there.   Now, to increase our production, we can also look at our case acceptance. Doctors have so much case acceptance. And also, what are we diagnosing? I'm like, doctors, if you want to be producing 100 grand a month, the statistics are you need to be diagnosing three times that amount. And then we need to make sure our treatment coordinators are really good at diagnosing explaining treatment to them. They're not diagnosing, but they're explaining the treatment. They're presenting it in a way. We're not using insurance as our main driver. We're using it as like a coupon. And then we're really good at our follow through and our follow up.   Gotta have a right person, right seat in your treatment coordinator seat that's obsessive with hitting the right goals. And so there's like so many little ways. Like you can in I have added block scheduling, which I know is like a consultant's number one favorite thing to talk about, but like make it really make sense and easy for your team. I've added a million to a practice with no extra days, no extra work. We literally are just being more strategic with how we schedule. And so there's just so many little ways that I want dentists to realize like,   To me, I get really excited. This is where I geek out as a consultant. I geek out and I love to help that is because I'm like, how can I like squeeze more juice from the lemon you're already in? Like, let's just make more lemonade. Let's figure out ways to do it. And then let's make sure our costs are effective. So we teach your teams how to look at the business as a business. We teach each team member about their one KPI that's really going to drive it forward. We help them track. I just did this with an office manager this week and she's so lit up to look at her numbers, to look at her metrics, to see how she can do it.   And when they start to see how they can click it through, it's not you trying to push and drive more money. Like doctors, I tell everybody, every team member, you want your doctor to be so freaking profitable. Because if they're profitable and they're like they're secure, your life is so much better. So like I'm like dentists, we got to get you profitable, we to get the cash flow, we got to get you less stressed because you're gonna be a better dentist and a better business owner. But how are there's so many little easy ways where it's just low-hanging   Typically I'm able to add 10 to 30% of production in usually 90 days to an office, like very consistently with just small little reps, no real extra work. How are we doing our exams? Are we being directive in our treatment planning? Are we using like, okay, next visit I want to see you for this? And when do I want to see you back? And how much time is this going to take? Like, let's break down the barriers of treatment planning. There's so many little simple things that if you just implement, you can be very profitable very easily.   And then look at your P L. If you're not looking at your P and L every single week or month, like just being aware, getting into the language of business, that's also gonna help you too. So yes, cut. ⁓ but I found that it's always a lot easier to make sure our collections match, our production matches, and we use those little low hanging fruits. ⁓ and it's there. Like dentistry is such a magical, like, like it's a great lemon tree. You can make a lot of lemonade out of a dental practice. I want you to tell me if I'm right or wrong or or   I think I think there's two threes to double your price. Number one, if three people call your front desk, one is going to come in because they're smart and they need to they know they need to get their teeth clean. One isn't gonna come in for anything and you can hear them vaping and smoking and drinking beer and eating Cheetos on the call. But one out of three needs a little extra push. And if you train the person answering the phone, they can close that one out of three. And if they do, they doubled your practice. Then when they get in, you still got the now you got three people in chair.   One's gonna do what you say because you're a doctor and they've done their their author search and and you say they got a cavity, they're not gonna argue with you. One's not gonna do anything. In fact, in fact in fact I was like I had about a dozen patients that in the middle of my treatment plan, they asked me if they could just take a cigarette break ⁓ from my presentation and they went outside, had a cigarette, came back. They're gonna do it. But the other one in three needs some some closing skills. And so if you if you can close on the phone   You doubled your practice. You you got two butts in instead of instead of one. And if you fix your treatment plan presentation, you're gonna do two cases at one. And I think it's so funny now because the dentists have never let their hygienist or assistant, let alone receptionist, do any diagnosing treatment plan. But now AI, Pearl, and Overjet diagnosing all the cavities. So you wouldn't let your hygienist while she's in there for an hour.   Diagnose and treatment plan and sell the dentistry, the assistant while they're taking FMX, they they can't point out, yeah, see, that's a cavity, you don't need a filling and a root now. yeah, they couldn't do it because they were humans. But now Pearl and Overjeck can do it all day long and you're good with that. I mean, so so what how do you how do you double the close rate from one out of three to two out of three on the phone? How do you double the treatment plan acceptance rate from one to two out of three? Yeah. Do you do you agree those are possible goals?   Absolutely, Howard. I think again, this is the low hanging fruit that people are like, but that feels so hard. And I'm like, choose your hard. Like, is it harder to spend a little time with a front office and train them how to do this? Is it a little like, or is it harder to be cash flow negative? Like you choose what's your hard to me? Absolutely. Let's go after that. And I agree with you. Like teaching a team to preheat an oven, I call it what would doctor do. And so like, let's train our hygienist.   Like I tell all hygienists, doctor should be the second opinion, not the first opinion. And you got Pearl and you got Overjet. And so just spending a little bit of time with your team. So what we typically do for case acceptance, like let's go hit that one quick and then we'll talk about scheduling. Is I'm really big on let's get the whole team where we're talking the same language. So we recommend, like, what would doctor do? I recommend you run this over the course of six weeks, is typically how long it takes, anywhere from six weeks to maybe three months.   but we're gonna sit there and we're literally going to go through. We're gonna pull up an FMX. We're gonna do it one day over lunch. Hygienists, doctors, and if you want front office and dental assistance, rock on. But really, I want my like people that are seeing the bulk of my patients with doctor and hygiene. We're gonna look there and I want all of our hygienists to start like if we have an FMX up there and the interaurals, what is doctor going to recommend and how is doctor gonna talk about it? We're not just gonna sit here and have a nice little chit-chat. We're each gonna write it down because I wanna make sure every hygienist starts to get very, very comfortable. And the goal that I tell all hygienists is   Your goal should be at the end of this, what would doctor do training over six weeks? And if doctors are really consistent with it, I'm like six weeks of training to be able to double your practice and increase your case acceptance to me is a very good use of my time. So if I can do that, doctors and hygienists, you should be able to have 95% accuracy with your doctors at the end of this. And they do it. So hygienists get really lit up and they get very excited about it because now they're able to preheat the oven. They're able to talk to patients about it, use Pearl, use Overjet.   And then doctors, when they tee it up to you, and I say like hygienist, you've got to be the ones who first like introduce it, talk about it with the doctor as soon as they come in, but be real quick. So we introduce the patient, we compliment the patient on something, we recap the treatment that's discussed and we say something personal. Hygienist, you do that, your doctor exams will be much shorter for you and doctors will love it because it's very quick. If we can get that dialed in, and then doctors, you have a very like confirm the treatment.   then recommend exactly what needs to happen. And then we take that same baton up to the front office and front office, we schedule first. We then present the treatment. We use insurance secondary. I'm never leading with insurance. You do these little items which seem like, ⁓ no, that's like very quick, easy things. You're going to rapidly be able to help those ones. And then I do a two two two follow-up. So if they did not close for me and I'm going to go through it and I'm going to work through and I'm going to track all the people that didn't say yes to me and all the people that did say yes to me.   I'm gonna look for patterns. What are people saying yes? Like those are easy ones. Those are the gimme's. Those are the easy patients that Howard said. I'm looking for the people that say no and what's my pattern in there? And how do I change my verbiage? Because treatment planning is 80% psychology, 20% skill. So like what are you thinking? How are we presenting it? What are the words we're saying? One or two little changes usually will close that. What are the patterns and how can I get that number up higher? And I follow up with them in two days, two weeks, two months to make sure that they don't follow off.   People are like, Kiera, you really make your treatment coordinator do that? And like, yeah, I was your treatment coordinator that closed $50,000 same day. And this is exactly what I did. This is how I've trained co offices across the nation to do it. You just have these simple little things that help them out. And then you flip over to our scheduling. Like, I think scheduling's easy, Howard. I genuinely do. I'm like, half of it is just be nice. Like you got the COVID crank, and so many people are so grumpy and so like.   Annoyed when they pick up the phone, then I'm like, you can already leap your ahead by just being nice and being excited to welcome a patient. Then take like charge of that conversation. So let's take the ownership of that conversation. If someone's Do you take my insurance? I'm going to quickly redirect and say, my gosh, how did you hear about us? I'm going to answer that, but I want to find out how did they hear about us? If it's our Google reviews, if it's a referral, if it's somewhere else, I want to like say, my gosh, you're so lucky to be here.   We love our patients. We love our reviews. I can't wait for you to be a great raving fan too. let's talk about this. I can everything can be overcome. Please do not let being out of network stop people. It's a thousand dollar coupon and we're turning people away over that. No, no, no. We are better than that. And if we are the best dentist, they need to be coming to us. We need to win these patients over, make them feel so loved. Let's get them scheduled. Let's make this a great experience for them. Let's make them feel so excited. I did it with PT called like six offices.   And the office I chose, like so many people were annoyed I was calling. Can I put you on hold? Can I do this? And I was like, no one really wants my business. If you're just nice and you take control of that conversation, you can easily turn and transform your practice. So hopefully that was like not too much. I like I love these things. I love training treatment planning. I love training how to like take control of a phone call. I love helping teams overcome those little simple objections because it's very, very simple things.   that make massive leaps and bounds of change. And it's a great way to double your practice very easily, like you said.   The Dental A Team (36:13) All right, Dental A Team listeners, that was the guest interview that I absolutely loved.

Alongside her individual therapy and supervision work, Coral runs The Receiving Revolution : a 7 - week group programme for therapists, psychologists, and helping professionals who chronically overgive. These are the helpers who understand their patterns intellectually but find they cannot shift them at the level of the body and energy. The Receiving Revolution supports them to readdress that imbalance, reconnect with their own wisdom, and build lives and practices that are sustainable and genuinely nourish them. You can find Coral at www.theenergypsychologist.org, and there is a growing library of free sessions for conscious therapists on her YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@TheEnergyPsychologist.

When you're stuck in the same fight, it's tempting to believe you just need better communication skills. We've learned the hard way that the real lever is often deeper: the bond, the emotional safety, and the attachment needs neither of you is saying out loud.We're joined by Claire Rosoman, a psychologist and EFT trainer who helped shape our own work, to break down what emotionally focused therapy looks like in real relationships. We talk about why secure attachment creates flexibility, how self-protection shows up as “armour”, and why slowing the moment down is the fastest way to find what's actually happening underneath. Claire shares practical language and memorable metaphors to help couples move from defensive cycles into clearer reaching and responding.We also go into resentment as a cold protest that can drain goodwill over time, plus the tough truth that some “relationship problems” are tangled up with individual issues like addiction and coping strategies. Then we tackle one of the most searched and most misused topics online: narcissism. Claire clarifies narcissistic traits vs narcissistic personality disorder, explains grandiosity, entitlement and gaslighting, and describes the “fog” many empathic partners experience when their reality has been governed for years. We explore what can happen when you finally set a boundary, including the crucial difference between narcissistic patterns and simple misunderstanding or neurodivergence.If you want a grounded, compassionate conversation about EFT for couples, attachment theory, relationship resentment, and navigating narcissistic dynamics with clearer eyes, press play.

Du weißt eigentlich genau, was sich in deinem Leben ändern müsste. Du liest Bücher, hörst Podcasts, machst vielleicht sogar Coachings – und trotzdem stehst du irgendwann immer wieder am selben Punkt. Du fällst zurück in die alten Muster und die gleiche Erschöpfung. Warum ist das so? Ich kann dir versichern: Es liegt weder an deinem Willen noch an deiner Disziplin oder deinem Mindset. Das Problem sitzt tiefer – es sitzt direkt in deinem Körper.In dieser Folge blicken wir unter die Oberfläche von scheiternden Vorsätzen. Du erfährst, dass die Hauptaufgabe deines Nervensystems darin besteht, dich am Leben zu erhalten. Dafür scannt es permanent die Umgebung und stuft alles Neue und Unbekannte – selbst die positivste Veränderung – erst einmal als „Gefahr“ ein. Ich erkläre dir, warum man einen Körper niemals einfach umdenken kann und warum ein stabiles Fundament im Nervensystem der einzig echte Schlüssel für spürbare Transformation ist.Das kannst du für dich aus der Folge mitnehmen:Warum dein Körper nicht mitmacht, obwohl dein Kopf schon weiter ist: Wie die uralten Schutzmechanismen deines Nervensystems stetig deine Vorsätze ausbremsen, weil dein System jede neue Gewohnheit zuerst mit Gefahr gleichsetzt.Was Prokrastination, Selbstsabotage und das ewige Zurückfallen wirklich bedeuten: Warum das Aufschieben oder das plötzliche Zweifeln kein persönliches Versagen sind, sondern dein Körper versucht, dich in der gewohnten Sicherheit zu halten.Warum Anspannung zur Heimat werden kann und was das mit Veränderung zu tun hat: Wie chronischer Stress zu deinem vermeintlich sicheren Hafen wird und weshalb sich echte Ruhe auf dem Sofa für dein System paradoxerweise oft unruhig und falsch anfühlt.Was sich verändert, wenn dein Nervensystem anfängt, sich sicherer zu fühlen: Wie ein reguliertes System dafür sorgt, dass neue Verhaltensweisen – wie das klare Setzen von Grenzen – plötzlich ganz leicht und ohne Herzklopfen aus dir herauskommen. Schaffe dir ein Fundament aus echter Sicherheit und erfahre, wie sich dein Leben verändert, wenn dein Körper nicht mehr dauerhaft unter Spannung steht.

Brad Yates guides EFT tapping around acknowledging ignorance without equating it with stupidity or shame. This session helps release defensiveness and supports openness to learning and growth.

Have you ever found yourself asking: why can't I get it together? Why am I struggling so much when others seem fine? In this grounding and compassionate episode, Dr. Margaret Paul offers a profound reframe for anyone who has ever felt like a mess. What you are likely experiencing is not a personal failure, but a nervous system dysregulation. And understanding what that means, where it comes from, and how to respond to it with love rather than judgment can begin to change everything. Dr. Paul explains how the nervous system constantly scans for safety or danger, how childhood environments shape the survival patterns we still carry into adulthood, and why self-judgment only deepens dysregulation rather than resolving it. She also shares practical tools for nervous system regulation, including vagal breathing, EFT, EMDR, and somatic experiencing, and offers a gentle guided moment to help you connect with your inner child right now. Come explore a kinder, more compassionate way of understanding yourself in Why Am I Such a Mess? Understanding Nervous System Dysregulation.   Enjoy the podcast?

Happy Mindful Monday Everyone! In this week's episode, our host Allie Brooke sits down with Katarzyna (Kasia) Dodd. She  is a European-licensed psychologist, therapist, and author who is completely shifting how we approach subconscious healing. She is the developer of the Inner Parent Theory—a powerful and necessary missing piece of the traditional Inner Child framework —which she explores deeply in her book, You Are the Dream of the Universe. As a true pioneer in somatic and energy work, Katarzyna introduced Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) to Poland and created the Inherence® Process, a dedicated method for restoring an unshakeable connection with your deepest Self. Born in Kraków, she spent 22 years in the United States before relocating to the Indian Ocean coast of Africa, bringing a highly global and expansive perspective to her practice. Her newest book, The Chameleon's Game, exposes the hidden psychological traps of covert narcissism. In this episode, she breaks down those draining dynamics and provides a clear, actionable roadmap for reclaiming your self-trust, personal clarity, and peace.   In this episode, they discuss; Rebuilding from the Ground Up: The vital first step to constructing a supportive, protective "Inner Parent" immediately following a relationship that shattered self-worth. Embodiment vs. Intellectualizing Healing: Why logically understanding toxic dynamics isn't enough to heal, and how the Inherence® Process bridges that gap to restore connection with the "deep Self." Real-Time Nervous System Regulation: Navigating sudden triggers, fear, or intrusive memories using immediate somatic tools (like EFT and meditation) rather than defaulting to old subconscious safety mechanisms. The Anatomy of a Grounded Boundary: The critical energetic difference between setting a boundary fueled by reactive fear and anger versus one anchored by a calm, empowered Inner Parent.

Trust God's Plan for Your Life (Even When It Looks Different Than Yours) Have you ever found yourself gripping tightly to a vision for your life, only to have everything unfold differently than you imagined? In this heartfelt Monday episode, Jackie shares one of the biggest lessons she's learned over the past year: sometimes the greatest blessing isn't what God gives you—it's what He lovingly redirects, removes, or protects you from. Drawing from the affirmation inside her 21 Days of Tapping, Prayer & Affirmations experience, Jackie explores the powerful practice of surrendering control, trusting divine timing, and learning to recognize the subtle whispers, nudges, and miracles guiding you toward a bigger plan than the one you created for yourself. If you're navigating uncertainty, grief, change, relationship transitions, health challenges, parenting struggles, or simply feeling called into a new season of life, this episode will remind you that you are not walking alone. Based on today's affirmation: "I trust God's plan for my life." Jackie shares personal stories, lessons from a recent church service, powerful tapping insights, and a moving experience helping a First Nations elder release years of physical pain through EFT tapping. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why surrendering control often creates space for bigger blessings How to trust God's timing when life feels uncertain The difference between giving up and cooperating with divine guidance How grief can deepen your connection with God, Spirit, or the Universe The importance of paying attention to subtle nudges, glimmers, and miracles Three qualities that create courage: trust, humility, and faith A powerful journaling prompt to uncover resistance to trusting your path How EFT tapping can help you find peace in seasons of transition The remarkable healing experience Jackie witnessed with a First Nations elder Why learning EFT tapping can become one of the most valuable tools in your life Journal Prompt Rate your agreement with this statement on a scale from 0–10: "I trust God's plan for my life." Then journal on: "I don't trust God's plan for my life because..." Allow yourself to be completely honest and specific. The more specific you are, the more clarity and healing become available. Powerful Quote from This Episode "Maybe there is something greater that you don't even know exists yet. By being willing to surrender your plan, your control, and your idea of how things should happen, you may be guided onto a path more magnificent than you could have imagined."

In this episode of The Empowered Spirit Show, we begin with the intensity of the full moon and the way its light can reveal the hidden places within us that are ready to be seen, released, and transformed. As spring comes to a close, we pause to reflect on what we have been planting in our lives, our energy, and our spiritual practice. Soon, the growth will begin to take hold. The question becomes: are we willing to stop living by the old rules and allow the new season to teach us another way? This episode explores the energy of entering a new room in life, where the old survival strategies no longer work. We look at how the nervous system can continue to follow old patterns even when life is asking us to expand, soften, trust, and receive. The episode closes with an EFT tapping meditation to help release old energetic agreements and begin writing new rules from the soul rather than from survival. The new room does not require you to master its rules overnight. It only asks that you stop letting the old room be the authority. Each time you notice the old strategy rising, pause. Breathe. Tap. Listen. A new rule may be ready to write itself through you. Thank you for joining me for The Empowered Spirit Show. And may you trust the new room as you step more fully onto the path ahead. To your Spirit, Terri PS.. Not familiar with tapping?  Get my book, Confessions of A Shower Tapper or schedule a private session with me. Click here.

We make no apologies for this, as this is its sole purpose; to allow mankind to see that which lurks beneath hidden sin and thereby give everyone who dares to enter into these gates a second chance. What is this second chance? To see what sin looks like in its truth and allow another choice before it's too late for the remedy.

Welcome to another EFT Tapping Session on the YOU CAN CALL ME “BOSSY” PODCAST! In this replay EFT the conversation is focused on elevating your wealth vibration through a targeted EFT tapping session. One concept discussed was the importance of releasing doubts, old limiting beliefs, and resistance to abundance in order to embrace prosperity. A key theme is recognizing prosperity as a birthright and cultivating a harmonious, thriving vibration to attract financial success. I raise several points, including the value of letting go of low vibration thoughts and embracing the natural state of abundance and wealth. NEED A VISUAL WHILE YOU TAP?

What if the greatest blessings in your life aren't the ones you've been asking for? In this heartfelt episode of the Wildly Wealthy Woman Podcast, Jackie shares a powerful lesson she's been learning about faith, surrender, and trusting God's plan even when it doesn't look like the one you created on your vision board. Inspired by the prayer, "May the Lord bless you and keep you," Jackie explores the deeper meaning of being kept by God—not just blessed with new opportunities, but protected from paths, relationships, and outcomes that were never meant for you. If you've been feeling exhausted from trying to control every outcome, force things to happen, or hold your entire life together, this episode will remind you that your job isn't to carry everything. Your job is to trust. In This Episode You'll Learn: Why God's plan is often bigger than your vision board The true meaning of "May the Lord bless you and keep you" How to recognize God's protection in seasons of disappointment Why some closed doors are actually answered prayers The difference between trusting circumstances and trusting God How surrender creates space for greater blessings to arrive Why certainty isn't knowing how—it's knowing Who How to stop forcing and start receiving Key Takeaways ✨ God isn't always taking things away from you—sometimes He's protecting you. ✨ Some of the greatest blessings in life are the ones you never knew to ask for. ✨ You can only dream from what you've seen. God can see possibilities beyond your imagination. ✨ The more attached we become to our own plan, the more likely we are to miss what God has prepared for us. ✨ Wildly wealthy women aren't trying to control every outcome—they're partnered with something greater than themselves. Favorite Quotes "God wasn't taking from me. He was keeping me." "Sometimes the greatest blessing isn't what God gives you. It's what He's protecting you from." "Certainty isn't knowing how. It's knowing Who." "It's not trusting the outcome. It's trusting the One guiding the outcome." "Some of the most beautiful things that have happened in my life recently weren't even on my vision board." "Sometimes the blessing isn't what's being added. Sometimes it's what's being removed." Reflection Questions What am I trying to control that I need to surrender? Where might God be protecting me right now? What if this disappointment is actually divine redirection? What blessings could be waiting on the other side of letting go? Am I attached to my plan or open to God's plan? A Prayer For You May the Lord bless you and keep you. May He keep your heart, your peace, your purpose, and your family. May He guide your dreams and your steps. May He protect what is meant for you and remove what is not. May He make clear the path before you and give you the courage to trust it—even when you cannot see where it is leading. Ready to Go Deeper?

I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback and insights on what could improve The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast in this short poll - it takes 2 minutes, and as a thank you, we'll send you a little gift!How many times have you walked into a doctor's appointment knowing something is wrong, and walked out feeling dismissed, unheard, or handed an explanation that just doesn't fit?For women with ADHD, the intersection of hormones and neurodivergence has been one of medicine's most neglected areas. Not because it isn't important, but because for too long, women have been considered too complex, too variable, too messy to study properly. And the cost of that has been devastating.This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm welcoming back Dr Lotta Borg Skoglund, a psychiatrist, researcher, and Associate Professor at Uppsala University in Sweden. Lotta has spent years investigating how hormonal fluctuations shape ADHD across women's entire reproductive lives — and her new book, Female Hormones and ADHD: The Impact on Brain and Body, is out in the UK on 4th June.What Lotta shares in this episode is not just fascinating; it is information that women deserve to have, and that could genuinely change their long-term health.In this episode, we explore:Why women have historically been excluded from research, and what that has cost us clinicallyLotta's new research on ADHD medication during pregnancy, lactation, and across the menstrual cycleWhy neurodivergent women may experience perimenopause symptoms earlier, and why this so often goes unrecognisedThe critical window of opportunity for hormone therapyWhy a hormonal assessment should come before receiving ADHD medicationThe link between postmenopausal oestrogen loss and heart attacks in womenThe connections between ADHD and endometriosis, PCOS, burnout, pain and sick leaveWhy every doctor (regardless of specialism) needs to be asking about hormonesHow we can use the predictable hormonal risk windows across a woman's reproductive life to support herTestosterone, perimenopause, and what the research does and doesn't yet tell usHow Lotta's new book can help you advocate for yourself in the doctor's officeThis episode is for every woman who has ever felt that her hormonal health and her neurodivergence were being treated as two completely separate problems by two completely separate systems.Lotta's work is quietly changing what is possible for us, and this conversation is essential listening.You can also listen to our previous conversations with Lotta here:E120 Connecting Hormones and Psychiatry to help more ADHD womenE174: Breaking down ADHD Neuroscience, Menstrual Cycles, Hormones and AnxietyThis week's episode is sponsored by Understood.org, the leading nonprofit dedicated to empowering the millions of people with learning and thinking differences, like ADHD and dyslexia.If you're parenting a neurodivergent child, I'd recommend listening to their podcast, Everybody Gets a Juicebox, as it's full of relatable stories and practical tools to help your family thrive while protecting your own wellbeing, too!The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Live Event Recording is here!My first-ever ADHD Women's Wellbeing Live event sold out, and now the full experience is available to you wherever you are, whenever it feels right.Alongside three neuro-affirming experts, we spent four hours exploring the questions that matter most to late-diagnosed women.

Victoria shares why the belief that "I have to work hard to make money" is often about much more than money. For many entrepreneurs, it traces back to deeper experiences around love, approval, worthiness, and what it took to feel valued growing up.If you've ever felt like you have to constantly prove yourself, stay productive, or work hard to deserve success, this episode will help you uncover where those beliefs may have come from and how they're affecting your ability to receive "with ease."If this episode resonated with you and you're realizing that your hard work wound may be rooted in deeper beliefs around worthiness, love, approval, or safety, this is exactly the kind of work I help my private clients with.In my 4-month 1:1 coaching program, we use EFT tapping to uncover and clear the subconscious blocks keeping you stuck in the cycle of overworking, proving yourself, and feeling like you have to earn your success.The program includes weekly Zoom calls and Voxer support between sessions.

Upgrades & Adjustments: What God Taught Me About Receiving More The month of May was one of the most surprising months of my life. I declared it would be a month of multiplication, but what unfolded wasn't what I expected. Instead of simply receiving more, I was invited to expand my capacity to receive. There were unexpected blessings, deeper connections, moments of joy, and also moments of contraction that challenged me to trust at an entirely new level. In this episode, I'm sharing the lessons God taught me through a season of upgrades and adjustments, how certainty beyond logic became my anchor, and why emotional freedom is often the doorway to receiving more than we ever imagined possible. You'll hear a powerful client story about overcoming fear, loss, and self-doubt, the connection between tapping and prayer, and why the scripture "May the Lord bless you and keep you" has taken on a whole new meaning in my life. If you're navigating change, uncertainty, loss, growth, or a season of becoming, this episode is for you. In This Episode We Discuss: Why every upgrade requires an adjustment The difference between certainty and confirmation How to trust God when you don't know what's coming next Why fear, shame, and anxiety often block our ability to receive A powerful client breakthrough using EFT Tapping How tapping and prayer work together to create emotional freedom The deeper meaning behind "May the Lord bless you and keep you" What I learned one year after a heartbreaking ending Why receiving isn't about getting what you want—it's about becoming available for what God wants How to release attachment to outcomes and trust the unfolding of your life Key Quotes "Real certainty is being able to sit in the unknown and still believe you're being led somewhere good." "It's not trusting circumstances. It's trusting God." "Receiving isn't about getting what you want. Receiving is about becoming available for what God wants." "Maybe God isn't withholding. Maybe He's keeping." "The more I let go of what I thought my life should look like, the more beautiful it became."

A client came to me recently and said something I hear more often than you might expect: "Gene, I've been trying to tap on my own, but this problem just feels too big. I don't know where to start." My answer surprised her. I told her she was right. The problem actually was too big to tap on. But that wasn't a verdict on whether tapping could help. It was a diagnosis of the approach she was using. Tapping for big problems is not about finding the courage to tackle everything at once. It is about knowing which small, specific piece to bring into a single round of tapping. TL;DR / Key Takeaways When a problem feels too big to tap on, the issue is not tapping's effectiveness. The issue is trying to address too much in a single session. EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) works best on one specific, concrete target at a time. Large life challenges require a series of focused rounds, not one heroic attempt. Tapping on the emotions about the problem (frustration, worry, disappointment) before targeting the problem itself clears the emotional distortion that makes the issue feel overwhelming. Identifying the smallest possible next action and tapping on resistance to that one step creates forward momentum faster than any other approach. Giving yourself permission to value incremental progress is itself a legitimate tapping target, and often the one that unlocks everything else. Why Big Problems Feel Impossible to Tap On (And the Real Fix) Tapping for big problems feels impossible when you try to hold the entire problem in your mind at once. EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a technique that involves tapping on specific acupressure points on the face and body while focusing on a precise emotional or physical target. The key word is precise. The more diffuse your focus, the less effective the round. Key insight: "The question is never whether tapping is appropriate for what's in front of you. The question is: how do you bring tapping to a part of the issue in a useful way?" Think about the kinds of problems that feel too big: a serious health diagnosis, a major career transition, building a romantic relationship from a standing start. Each of these is not one problem. Each is a cluster of dozens of smaller problems stacked on top of each other. Trying to tap on "my health situation" is like trying to eat an entire meal in one swallow. The five steps below give you a reliable way to find the right-sized bite for any given session, no matter how large the underlying issue is. Why Tapping for Big Problems Starts With Your Emotions First Before you tap on any aspect of the problem itself, tap on how you feel about the fact that you are facing this problem. This is one of the most overlooked moves in EFT practice, and it changes everything about what comes next. In my Tapping Mastery Blueprint, every single tapping session starts with two questions. First: what is the goal of this round of tapping? Second: how do I feel about the fact that this is the issue at hand? That second question is where most people skip straight past something important. Key insight: "The emotions about the issue are layers of stained glass I'm trying to look through. They distort the issue so I can't see it clearly. Clear those layers first, and the problem comes into focus." When you are dealing with something large, you are almost certainly carrying feelings of worry, frustration, disappointment, and grief about the situation itself. Those emotions are not the same as the problem. They are your emotional response to having the problem. Tapping on them first changes your resource state. It shifts you out of reactivity and into a clearer, calmer place from which you can make better decisions about what to tap on next. Write down every emotion you feel about the fact that you are facing this particular challenge. Then take those emotions one at a time and tap on them before doing anything else. For a deeper look at this concept, the episode on "the emotion about the issue" from the Healing Fundamentals series is worth your time. Step 2: Name a Baby Step and Tap on Your Resistance to It Once you have tapped on the emotions about the issue, shift your attention away from the full problem entirely. Instead, ask yourself: what is the single smallest next action I could take? That step might be genuinely tiny. Write down all the open questions I have. Research this one thing. Send a message to this specific person. It does not need to be significant. It just needs to be real and concrete. Key insight: "I don't know how to handle the big thing, but I almost always know the first step. After I take the first step, the second step becomes obvious. And after the second, the third." Once you have named the baby step, tune in to whatever emotion comes up around taking it. Resistance, dread, uncertainty, fear of getting it wrong. That emotional resistance is your tapping target, not the step itself. When you clear the resistance, taking the step becomes easy. And taking the step creates momentum, which is exactly what large problems require. This approach addresses one of the most common reasons people stay stuck: they cannot see the whole path forward, so they do not move at all. But you do not need to see the whole path. You only need to see the next step. Clearing the emotional resistance to action is one of tapping's most reliable strengths. Step 3: Pick One Small Detail Instead of the Whole Problem If the baby-step approach does not give you a clear entry point, try zooming in on a single detail of the larger issue instead. Not the situation. Not the whole health challenge or the whole relationship pattern. One detail. A few years ago I was dealing with Epstein-Barr virus, which is similar to mononucleosis in its effects. I was completely wiped out. I would feel a flicker of energy and sit up in bed, and my body would immediately shut it down. I had to lie back down. There were dozens of things wrong, physically and emotionally, and I could have tried to tap on all of them at once. Instead, I chose one detail: that specific feeling when the energy appeared and immediately vanished. Just that. The emotion that came up around that one physical experience became my tapping target. Key insight: "By choosing one microscopic detail, I gave myself an entry point. I wasn't trying to solve everything. I was just working on this one thing." Trying to address the entire problem at once produces a familiar spiral: "I'm falling behind, this is lasting forever, nothing I'm doing is working." That is too big a target. One detail breaks the spiral and gives your nervous system something it can actually process. If you find yourself drowning in too many issues to tap on, this single-detail approach is often the fastest way back to solid ground. Step 4: Tap on the Overwhelm of Having a Problem This Big This step might feel redundant at first glance. You have already tapped on the emotions about the issue in Step 1. What is left? The answer is: the overwhelm of the problem's size, which is a separate layer entirely. Tapping for overwhelm means giving voice specifically to the experience of facing something that feels unmanageable. Not what the problem is, but what it is like to be the person carrying it. Typical targets for this step sound like: "This problem is unfair and I am exhausted by it." "I do not even know where to start and that makes me feel paralyzed." "I cannot do this alone." "I am overwhelmed just thinking about all the steps between here and done." This is what I sometimes call tapping on the meta-emotion. It is the feeling about the feeling, or more precisely, the feeling about the situation's complexity. In my experience, the missing key to tapping for overwhelm is almost always this layer: people address the content of what overwhelms them but skip past the raw experience of being overwhelmed itself. Spend a few minutes here. It does not take long, and the relief it produces makes the remaining steps significantly easier. Step 5: Give Yourself Permission to Value Small Daily Progress The final step is one that beginners often dismiss as too soft. It is not. Giving yourself permission to recognize the value of incremental work is a legitimate tapping target, and for many people it is the one that unlocks consistent action. The tapping here is not affirmation work. You are not trying to convince yourself that everything is fine or that you are doing great. You are tapping to release the part of you that insists the only acceptable outcome is solving the whole thing today. A useful setup statement for this step sounds something like: "Even though I've only made a tiny bit of progress today, I give myself permission to recognize that a baby step forward is still a step forward." Notice what comes up when you tap with that frame. You may find frustration: "I give myself permission to value baby steps, AND I give myself permission to be annoyed that it's always a process." Both are valid. Acknowledge the resistance alongside the permission. That is where the real tapping work happens. The myth of the one big tapping breakthrough is worth reading alongside this step. Real transformation is nearly always a series of small shifts, not a single dramatic moment. How to Use All Five Steps in a Single Tapping Session When you are facing a problem that feels too big to tap on, run through the five steps in order. You do not need to spend equal time on each one. Some will feel complete in a single round. Others may need more attention. Here is the sequence as a quick reference: Tap on the emotions about the issue. How do you feel about the fact that you are facing this problem? Worry, frustration, grief, shame, disappointment. Take them one at a time. Name a baby step and tap on your resistance to it. What is the smallest possible next action? What emotion comes up when you think about taking it? Pick one small detail and tap on the emotion around it. Not the whole problem. One aspect, one symptom, one interaction, one specific moment. Tap on the overwhelm of the problem's size. Give voice to how it feels to be carrying something this big. This is separate from the problem's content. Tap for permission to value incremental progress. Release the demand that today's work has to solve everything. A baby step counts. Before you start any session on a large issue, it helps to ask the two questions from my Tapping Mastery Blueprint: what is the goal of this round of tapping, and how do I feel about the fact that this is the issue? Both questions from the one question you must ask before every tapping session apply directly here. The old cliche is true: how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. And if you take one bite at a time with your tapping practice, you will be surprised how quickly you start to build real momentum on even the largest challenges in your life. If you want structured, daily support for building that momentum, I'd encourage you to explore 365 Tapping Lessons, where I walk you through a full year of focused tapping sessions designed to create exactly this kind of consistent, cumulative progress. Frequently Asked Questions What does it mean when a problem feels too big to tap on? It usually means you are trying to address the entire issue in a single tapping session. EFT works best on one specific, concrete emotional target at a time. A problem that "feels too big" is a signal to narrow your focus, not to stop tapping. Where should I start when I don't know where to start tapping? Start with the emotions you feel about having the problem, not the problem itself. Write down every emotion that comes up when you think about your situation (frustration, worry, grief, shame) and tap on those one at a time before targeting the problem's content. How many rounds of tapping does it take to work through a big problem? There is no fixed number. Large issues typically require many focused sessions over time rather than one long session. The goal of each session is not to solve the problem but to reduce the emotional intensity around one specific aspect of it. Can EFT really help with serious health challenges or major life changes? Yes, though the approach matters enormously. EFT does not resolve health conditions by tapping on "my illness." It works by targeting specific emotions, fears, symptoms, or resistance points one at a time. Over multiple sessions, this produces genuine cumulative relief. What is "the emotion about the issue" in EFT? It is the emotional response you have to having the problem, as distinct from the problem itself. If you have a health issue, the emotions about the issue include fear of the long-term consequences, grief over what you have lost, and frustration at the pace of healing. Tapping on these first clears the distortion that makes the underlying problem harder to see and address. What if I tap on the baby step but feel nothing? Try making the step even smaller, or tune in to the emotion more precisely. "I need to make a doctor's appointment" might produce nothing. "I feel a knot in my stomach when I think about calling the doctor" is a specific, tappable sensation. The more concrete the target, the more tapping tends to produce a clear shift. Is it normal to feel more overwhelmed after starting to tap on a big problem? Yes, and it is often a sign the tapping is working. Bringing a suppressed emotion to the surface before clearing it can briefly intensify the feeling. If it persists, use Step 4 directly: tap specifically on the overwhelm of having a problem this big, rather than on the problem's content.

What happens in the deepest moments of Stage 2 EFT work? In this special roundtable episode of The Leading Edge in Emotionally Focused Therapy, hosts Dr. James Hawkins and Dr. Ryan Rana sit down with three pioneers in EFT process research and training: Dr. Jim Furrow, Dr. Kathryn Rheem, and Dr. Marlene Best. Together, they unpack the heart of Stage 2 change events in EFT: withdrawer re-engagement, pursuer softening, therapeutic presence, fear, longing, attachment risk, and the healing power of vulnerable reach-and-response moments. This conversation is more than theory. It is a masterclass in how therapists help clients move from talking about emotion to speaking from emotion. The group explores how fear and longing work together, why vulnerability requires both courage and safety, and how the therapist's emotional presence becomes the bridge that helps clients risk connection. You'll hear powerful reflections on: Why fear must become experiential in Stage 2 The difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2 emotional work How longing creates movement through fear Why enactments are essential for deep limbic revision The therapist's role in co-regulating attachment risk How healing becomes more powerful than hurt in secure connection This episode is rich with clinical wisdom, emotional depth, and heartfelt reflections from some of the leading voices who helped shape modern EFT. If you're an EFT therapist wanting to deepen your Stage 2 work—or simply someone passionate about emotional connection and healing relationships—this is an episode you will want to revisit again and again. In This Episode The Origins of Stage 2 EFT Research The guests reflect on the early development of EFT process research and how their studies on pursuer softening and withdrawer re-engagement helped therapists better understand the moment-to-moment dynamics of attachment transformation. Fear vs. Speaking From Fear The conversation explores the difference between naming fear cognitively versus helping clients experientially contact fear in the present moment. Longing and Fear Work Together Dr. Marlene Best shares her now-famous insight that longing must move through fear for attachment change to occur. The group discusses how longing creates movement and momentum toward vulnerable reach. Therapeutic Presence as Co-Regulation Dr. Jim Furrow highlights that clients cannot stay emotionally present to fear unless therapists bring their own grounded emotional presence into the room. Stage 1 vs. Stage 2 Emotional Work The panel clarifies the crucial difference between: accessing primary emotion in Stage 1 restructuring attachment through view of self/view of other in Stage 2. Healing Is More Powerful Than Hurt Dr. Kathryn Rheem closes with a moving reflection on how humans are wired both to hurt and to heal—and how vulnerable connection transforms emotional suffering into secure attachment. Key Clinical Takeaways Fear is not the enemy in Stage 2—it is the doorway. Longing creates movement through attachment fear. Therapists must bring their presence before asking clients to bring theirs. Enactments help clients move from insight into embodied relational experience. Stage 2 is about restructuring view of self and view of other. Healing occurs when fear is shared relationally. Withdrawers often access sadness and loss before fear. Pursuer softening requires risk, surrender, and emotional reach. Emotional safety grows through repeated vulnerable experiences. Deep limbic revision requires deep experiential contact. Best Quotes from the Episode “We don't just talk about fear in Stage 2—we speak from fear.” “If you want someone to be present to their fear, you need to bring your presence.” “Longing has to move through the fear.” “The therapist's regulation becomes the emotional scaffolding for the couple.” “Stage 2 is not just emotional access—it's restructuring attachment.” “Fear reshapes our priorities and tells us not to reach when we most need connection.” “The healing becomes more powerful than the hurt.” “The goal isn't to eliminate fear. The goal is to reach while fear is still present.” “Therapists often drive past view of self and view of other instead of slowing down and exploring them.” “We heal when vulnerable experience becomes relationally shared.” “The deeper the longing, the deeper the fear.” “People pull away from love when they're terrified of losing it.” “Healing happens when someone risks reaching and another person responds.” “Fear says ‘don't reach.' Love says ‘try anyway.'” “We all want someone who can help us carry what feels too heavy alone.” “The strongest relationships aren't fear-free—they're responsive in the presence of fear.” “Behind anger and distance is often grief, fear, and longing.” “Secure connection grows when people can finally share what they were afraid to reveal.” “You don't heal by never hurting again. You heal by no longer hurting alone.” “The courage to be emotionally honest changes relationships.” EFT World Summit 2027 We wanted to let you know that the EFT World Summit 2027 is coming to Vancouver — May 9 to 11, 2027 — and we would love to see you there.

The Full Moon in Sagittarius on May 31 is a blue moon, the second full moon of the month, and a closing note on a big chapter. Sagittarius always asks the deeper question. Not just what is happening, but why. Under this full moon, that question turns toward the limiting beliefs that have been quietly running you — the inherited stories about whether your voice matters and whether it's safe to be seen, heard, and understood. In this episode, Leslie is joined by her friend Jackie McDonald of the Wildly Wealthy Woman Podcast. Together they pair the astrology with EFT tapping, a simple somatic practice for moving an old belief out of your body and a new one in. This one is part teaching, part hands-on. Come ready to do the work. What belief is stopping you right now? And what's the belief waiting on the other side of it?

What if the reason your anxiety keeps coming back isn't because you're thinking the "wrong thoughts"? In this episode, Sebastiaan sits down with psychologist Steve Wells to talk about Intention Tapping, a variation of EFT tapping that has deeply influenced how Seb helps people with social anxiety. They explore why social anxiety often can't be "out-thought," why emotional attachment matters more than thoughts alone, and how tapping may help reduce the nervous system's perception of threat. You'll hear why anxiety can become linked to everyday social situations, why resisting anxiety often makes it stronger, and how Intention Tapping can help release the emotional charge underneath social anxiety symptoms. In this conversation, they cover: • Why logic alone often doesn't stop social anxiety • The difference between CBT and tapping • Why anxiety is not just a thought problem • How emotional attachment keeps anxiety active • Why social anxiety is often a protective response • How tapping can help calm the nervous system • Why small shifts matter more than people think • How tapping can support gentle real-life progress • What to do when tapping "doesn't work" right away • How setbacks can become breakthroughs They also discuss fear of judgment, blushing, physical anxiety symptoms, performance anxiety, upcoming social events, public speaking, podcasting, salsa dancing, and why forcing yourself to face your fears is not always the most effective path. If you've tried changing your thoughts, affirmations, mindset work, or pushing yourself through social situations but still get triggered, this episode will give you a different way to understand social anxiety and what may help it shift.

Tapping for fear and anxiety was my own entry point into EFT almost 20 years ago, when I was struggling with social anxiety. In this post I want to walk you through exactly how I use tapping to right-size fear and anxiety so they stop running the show. The method is simple, it works in the moment, and you can use it the next time worry shows up. TL;DR / Key Takeaways Tapping for fear and anxiety is a process of right-sizing the feeling, not eliminating it, so your alarm system stays accurate instead of overactive. Anxiety is about a threat in the present moment, while fear is about a threat in the future, and naming which one you are facing changes how you approach it. The core method is three rounds of wordless tapping to calm the nervous system, followed by four questions answered out loud while you tap. The four questions are: What could go wrong? What proof do I have? How likely is it? What would I tell a friend? Success means the feeling becomes proportionate to the actual threat, so you can either engage safely with what is in front of you or stay present despite worry about the future. Why Fear and Anxiety Are Not the Enemy Fear and anxiety are not malfunctions; they are your internal guidance system pointing you toward danger so you can stay safe. Every emotion you feel carries specific information about your situation. Frustration signals that a need or desire is not being met. Anger signals that you perceive an attack. Fear and anxiety signal danger. When you understand the information an emotion is carrying, you can respond to it instead of just reacting. That is the whole foundation of using EFT for anxiety effectively. Key insight: "For every single emotion you have, it is your internal guidance system giving you information to navigate the world." The mistake most people make is treating fear and anxiety as enemies to be silenced. They are not. They are messengers. The work is not to fire the messenger but to make sure the message is accurate. What Is the Difference Between Fear and Anxiety? Anxiety is about a threat happening in the present moment, while fear is about a threat located in the future. People often use the words interchangeably, and you do not have to adopt my definitions for the process to work. But making this distinction sharpens how you approach the problem. The reason the distinction matters is that you respond differently to something in your immediate proximity than to something that may happen later. If a threat is right here, you need to handle the thing in front of you. If a threat is in the future, you need to settle yourself so you can stay present now. Key insight: "Anxiety is about the thing that is happening in this particular moment, where fear is about the thing that is in the future." The tapping itself looks identical for both. What changes is the target. Naming whether you are dealing with worry about an uncertain future or a present-moment stressor tells you what you are actually solving for. What Does Success Look Like When Tapping for Anxiety? Success is making the feeling proportionate to the actual threat, not switching it off entirely. Before you tap, it helps to define what a good outcome looks like, because that definition is different for anxiety than it is for fear. When I am anxious, success means the anxiety turns down enough that I can safely engage with the thing in front of me. When I am afraid, success means I turn down the fear of a future event enough to be fully present to what is happening right now. So when I solve the problem of anxiety, I am dealing with the thing I am anxious about. When I solve the problem of fear, I am turning down a future worry so it stops stealing my attention from the present. Defining success this way keeps you honest. You are not chasing a numb, fearless state. You are aiming for a feeling that fits the facts. Why Start With Three Rounds of Wordless Tapping? Start with three rounds of wordless tapping because it downregulates your nervous system and clears your head before you dissect the problem. Wordless tapping simply means moving from each tapping point to the next, tapping six or seven times on each point, without saying anything. Just tapping on the points creates a release and a little bit of calm. That matters because in a moment you are going to start examining the fear and anxiety, and the clearer-headed you are, the easier that examination becomes. The less you are crippled by the feeling, the more successfully you can work with it. Key insight: "The clearer-headed we are as we step into that, the less crippled we are by the fear and the anxiety, the easier it's going to be for us to do that in a really successful way." Do not rush this part. Take nice, easy, deep breaths as you move from point to point. Three slow rounds is enough to settle your system so the four questions land properly. If you want more on this calming-first approach, it pairs well with work on nervous system regulation. The Four Questions to Ask While Tapping for Fear and Anxiety The four questions, answered out loud while you tap, walk you from catastrophizing to a right-sized response. After your three rounds of wordless tapping, you keep moving from point to point and answer each question comprehensively and aloud. By doing this, you are writing the perfect tapping script for the moment in real time. Here are the four questions, in order: What could go wrong? Catastrophize on purpose. Name the worst thing that could happen and narrate it out loud. When I tapped on my social anxiety, mine was that I would say something, someone would think I was stupid, and they would scream at me until I ran and hid. What proof do I have that this could go wrong? Sometimes there is proof, and often there is not. When I examined my social anxiety, I had counter proof: even when I said something silly, people just corrected me or rolled their eyes. This right-sizes the response emotionally. What is the likelihood it will go wrong like this? Something can be possible without being probable. Naming the actual likelihood shrinks the threat down to its true size. What would you tell a friend with this problem? We are very good at giving others advice we cannot hear ourselves. Shifting into that voice unlocks perspective you already have. Key insight: "By answering these four questions, you are writing the perfect tapping script for the moment." Answer all four out loud while tapping and you will be surprised how much safer and more comfortable you feel. This four-question approach is a cousin of the simple in-the-moment methods I teach for recognizing and managing stress quickly. Possibility vs. Probability: Right-Sizing the Threat A threat being possible does not make it probable, and separating the two is what shrinks fear back to a useful size. This is the heart of why the four questions work. Your alarm system tends to treat every possibility as if it were a certainty, and that is what makes fear and anxiety feel so big. Consider my own examples. There is a possibility I could get stuck between two subway stations in New York, but in almost 15 years of living here it has only happened three times. I could be afraid of flying, yet I performed full-time for 25 years and flew millions of miles across the U.S. and Canada without a single incident. Possible, but not probable. Right-sizing does not mean removing the safety mechanism. I have no realistic fear of being attacked by a lion in my Brooklyn neighborhood, even with zoos in Central Park and the Bronx nearby. Tapping that fear down does not mean I will climb into the lion enclosure for a cuddle. It means I can walk my neighborhood, and even visit the zoo, knowing I am safe, while still respecting the fence. We keep the protective function and discard the distortion. How to Get Started Tapping for Fear and Anxiety Today To start tapping for fear and anxiety, identify whether your feeling is about the present or the future, then run three rounds of wordless tapping followed by the four questions. The whole process can take just a few minutes and requires nothing but your hands and a little honesty. Here is the sequence in full: Notice the feeling and name whether it is anxiety (present) or fear (future). Tap three slow, wordless rounds, six or seven taps per point, breathing deeply. Answer out loud while tapping: What could go wrong? Answer out loud: What proof do I have it will go wrong? Answer out loud: How likely is it to go wrong like this? Answer out loud: What would I tell a friend facing this? The aim is always proportion, not numbness. You are not eliminating fear and anxiety; you are making them well-informed so they protect you without paralyzing you. If you want to keep building this skill day by day, my 365 Tapping Lessons program gives you a short, guided tapping practice for every day of the year. Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between fear and anxiety in tapping? In this approach, anxiety is about a threat in the present moment and fear is about a threat in the future. The tapping looks the same, but naming which one you face tells you whether you are working to engage safely now or to stay present despite future worry. Does tapping work for anxiety? Tapping helps turn anxiety down to a proportionate level so you can safely engage with whatever is in front of you. In my experience over nearly 20 years, the goal is not to erase anxiety but to make it accurate, so it informs you without overwhelming you. What are the four questions to ask when tapping for fear? The four questions, answered out loud while tapping, are: What could go wrong? What proof do I have that it could go wrong? How likely is it to go wrong like this? What would I tell a friend with this problem? What is wordless tapping and why do it first? Wordless tapping means moving from point to point, tapping six or seven times on each, without speaking. Doing three rounds first downregulates your nervous system and clears your head, which makes the four-question process far more effective. How do I stop catastrophizing about the future? Catastrophize on purpose first by naming the worst case out loud, then ask what proof you actually have and how likely it really is. Separating what is possible from what is probable shrinks the imagined threat back to its true size. Is the goal of tapping to get rid of fear completely? No. The goal is to make fear proportionate and well-informed, not to eliminate it. Fear is a safety mechanism, so the work is keeping its protective function while discarding the distortion that makes it disproportionate. Can I use this tapping process for any worry? Yes. The same three rounds of wordless tapping and the same four questions work whether the worry is about a present situation or a future event. You simply aim the process at the specific thing you are anxious or afraid about.

Brad Yates leads an EFT tapping round focused on self-righteousness and the emotional charge that often comes with it. Tapping can help reduce rigidity and create more inner and relational ease.

In this powerful EFT training discussion, We Heart Therapy host (Anabelle Bugatti) Dr. Belle, PhD, LMFT/EFT Supervisor/Therapist sits down with Emotionally Focused Therapy trainer Dr. Ting Liu and explores how therapists can effectively work with ambivalence in couples therapy and attachment-based healing. Ambivalence is one of the most common challenges therapists encounter in EFT sessions, especially when partners feel stuck between connection and protection, longing and fear, or closeness and withdrawal, staying or leaving. In this conversation, Dr. Ting Liu shares clinical insight into: • Working with emotional ambivalence in EFT • Helping couples navigate uncertainty and emotional disconnection • EFT interventions for pursuer-withdrawer dynamics • Clinical applications of Emotionally Focused Therapy with Ambivalence Whether you are an EFT therapist, LMFT, psychologist, counseling student, or simply interested in attachment science and relationship healing, this video offers valuable insights into the EFT process and how to work with complex relational dynamics.  

MAYBE you're burnt out because you've given everything to what you love, and nothing to yourself. This isn't the burnout conversation you've heard before. This episode breaks down what happens when high-achieving women lose their intuitive edge not through failure, but through relentless forward motion. When you're building something real, scaling something meaningful, and still feel like you're disappearing inside it. In this episode: Why burnout from inspiration is different, and more dangerous than burnout from obligation How 18 months of identity shifts can quietly mute your intuition The two questions that replace urgency-driven decision making Why celebrating your wins and moving goalposts at the same time creates a subconscious ceiling The integration practices (EFT, journaling, nervous system work) that actually rebuild clarity This is your reminder that the next version of you cannot be built at the pace of the current one. Strategy without self-knowledge is just noise. This episode brings you back to the signal.

On She Built It®, Jessica Tellian, former medical professional, EFT tapping expert, and founder of The Tapping School, shares why the most successful women she works with often feel the most stuck. Not because they lack strategy or ambition, but because 95% of what drives their decisions, behaviors, and results is running from the subconscious mind, a part of the brain most high achievers never address.Jessica explains what EFT tapping is, how it combines modern psychology with ancient Chinese medicine to rewire neural pathways in real time, and why working with the nervous system instead of against it changes everything from business growth to personal fulfillment. This conversation is for every high-achieving woman who has ever known exactly what she should do, and still couldn't make herself do it.Connect with us:A Stronger You WebsiteJessica Tellian InstagramJessica Tellian TikTokThe Tapping School ™ InstagramA Stronger You PodcastFREE Gift for SBI AudienceWork with She Built It® Media She Built It® Instagram She Built It® CEO, Melanie Barr InstagramMelanie Barr LinkedInShe Built It® LinkedIn

How long does tapping take to work? It's one of the most common questions I get, and the answer is the most unsatisfying one in coaching: it depends. In this post I'll show you why that's actually the most useful answer I can give you, and how to use it. TL;DR: How Long Tapping Takes to Work How long tapping takes to work depends on the issue you're tapping on and how you define success. A 90-second round can shift a present-moment frustration, while a 35-year-old limiting belief usually takes repeated sessions over time. Happiness equals outcome divided by expectation. The same result feels like a miracle or a failure depending on what you expected walking in. You can measure tapping success three ways: frequency (how often the issue shows up), duration (how long it sticks with you), and intensity (how strong it feels). Improvement in any one of the three is a real win. The goal of tapping is to make it better, not to make it perfect. Better is often enough to change the rest of your day. Why "How Long Does Tapping Take to Work?" Is the Wrong Question How long tapping takes to work is the wrong question because it assumes there's one answer that applies to every issue and every person. There isn't. The better question is: what does one step better look like right now? Years ago I had a one-on-one session with a friend whose husband had been telling her for months that she needed to tap with me. I don't think she really wanted to be there. I think she wanted him to stop bringing it up. There was natural resistance at the start of the session, but within fifteen minutes we had surfaced a deep, specific issue and tapped through a round on it. At the end of that round, she was disappointed. Not because nothing had happened. She was disappointed because the issue wasn't completely healed yet. In fifteen minutes she had moved from resistant to disappointed because the work wasn't fast enough. That's the trap built into the question. We're asking how long until the issue is gone, when the more useful question is how much better do I feel right now than I felt three minutes ago. Happiness Equals Outcome Divided by Expectation Happiness equals outcome divided by expectation. The way you respond to any result is determined less by the result itself and more by what you expected walking in. Imagine I tell you at the end of the day that I got six things done. Was that a good day or a bad day? It depends. If I sat down this morning wanting to get eight things done, I'm disappointed. If I sat down wanting to get four things done, I'm doing backflips on my way out of the office. Same six things. Completely different experience. The same dynamic shows up every time we use a transformational tool. If you expect a single round of tapping to permanently resolve a long-standing issue, almost any real result will feel like a failure. If you expect tapping to make the next ten minutes a little easier, the same result feels like a win. This is why unrealistic expectations can quietly sabotage your tapping progress even when the work itself is going well. Key Insight: "Happiness is outcome divided by expectation. The way I respond to something is based on how I expect it to work out." Why No Two Tapping Issues Heal at the Same Rate No two tapping issues heal at the same rate, even when they look identical on the surface. The tool is the same. The timeline almost never is. There's a real difference between me being frustrated in this moment and not wanting to be frustrated, and me dealing with a limiting belief I've carried for the last 35 years. The toolset is exactly the same. The rate at which those two things shift will be completely different. The same is true even when the symptom is identical. I can have pain in my right shoulder because I slept on it wrong, and I can have pain in my right shoulder because I was in a car accident and tore a muscle. Same pain, same location, same intensity on a 0 to 10 scale. The cause is different, so the time it takes to resolve is different. Every time you sit down to tap, recognize this: the goal is to make it better. Not to make it perfect, not to make it gone, but to make it better. That's a frame I keep coming back to with clients, and it's the same spirit behind tapping to embrace progress, not perfection. The Costa Rica Story: When Better Looks Like Failure Almost 20 years ago, brand new to tapping, I was in a coffee shop in Costa Rica when four other Americans walked in and sat down nearby. I struck up a conversation and one of them mentioned he had just tweaked his shoulder zip-lining through the jungle. I was at the stage of my tapping life where I was running everyone I met over with my enthusiasm. So I said, "Let me show you this amazing thing." I had him tap through Gary Craig's basic EFT recipe. Before we started I asked him, 0 to 10, how big is the pain? He said six. We tapped. I asked again. He said four. In my head, my immediate reaction was: it failed. He and his three friends, on the other hand, said, "Whoa, that's amazing." Because it was. Ninety seconds of tapping had taken a third of his pain away on his subjective measure. He had more movement in his shoulder. The rest of his day was going to be better. My expectation was healed. He experienced better. That's the gap this whole post is trying to close. Key Insight: "When I'm tapping, I live in the ERs. Not the emergency room. Better, easier, gentler, calmer." The Three Measures of Tapping Success: Frequency, Duration, Intensity There are three ways to measure whether tapping is working: frequency, duration, and intensity. Any one of them moving in the right direction counts as real progress. I learned this framework from my friend Mary Ayers, and it has changed how I evaluate every session. Frequency is how often the issue shows up. Years ago a client said to me, "Gene, it's great. I'm only having seizures six days a week." For me, six days a week of seizures sounds like a horror show. For her it meant one day a week she was emotionally and physically clear enough to get everything done. The frequency went down by one day, and that one day was her life expanding. Frequency can be the hardest of the three to measure, because if a behavior is still happening at all, you tend to notice the times it happens more than the times it doesn't. If you're trying to reduce how often you doom-scroll to distract yourself, going from ten times a week to five times a week still feels like ten because you're still doing it. When you're tracking frequency, write it down. Duration is how long the discomfort sticks with you after it shows up. Three times in my work I've had legal action threatened against me by clients. One of those times the client was blaming me for their frozen pipes, so you can judge the seriousness for yourself. The first time it happened, it threw me off and kept me emotional for about 36 hours. The second time, it impacted me for the rest of the day. The third time, it took me about 45 minutes to settle. Same kind of event, same intensity in the moment, same response required (call my lawyer, take care of myself). What changed was how long the emotional charge stayed in my body. That's duration, and it's a real measure of progress. Intensity is how strong the response is when it happens. I can be angry about something my neighbor does, or I can be frustrated about the same thing. In both cases I'm having an emotional response, but I'm far less likely to make a harsh, rash, unuseful choice when I'm frustrated than when I'm angry. Same trigger, smaller response. That's intensity going down. If you've ever found the standard 0 to 10 rating frustrating or unhelpful, this three-part frame is a useful alternative. I've written more about that in what to do when the SUD scale doesn't work for you. When Tapping Changes You Without Changing the Situation Tapping often makes things better even when the underlying situation hasn't changed at all. That's not a failure of tapping. That's tapping doing exactly what it's designed to do. Picture this. You're facing real financial pressure and you're overwhelmed by it. You sit down and tap on the overwhelm. Ten minutes later you feel calmer. The financial pressure is still there. Nothing about the bank account has changed. But you can now think clearly about the problem, see options you couldn't see before, and make deliberate choices instead of panicked ones. That's a win, and it's the kind of win we usually undervalue. The situation didn't change, but your relationship to the situation did, and from that calmer place you have actual capacity to act. This is exactly the dynamic at work in tapping for overwhelm when you have too much on your plate. You're not making the to-do list shorter. You're making yourself bigger than the list. The same logic applies to in-the-moment frustration. When something goes wrong at my desk and I get frustrated, I don't need to turn the frustration completely off in order to keep working. I need to turn it down enough that I can focus. There might be residual frustration sitting in the background. That's fine. If 90 seconds of tapping produces an hour of effective work, I'll make that trade every day of the week. The "One Step Better" Approach to Every Tapping Session The most useful question to ask before any tapping session is: what does one step better look like right now? Then use the tool to see if you can get there. If you do, ask the same question again. That iteration is the whole game. It's not how long until this is resolved. It's what does the next small improvement feel like in my body, and can I get there from where I am? Then, from that new place, what does the next one feel like? This is why the work of tapping looks less like a single grand transformation and more like a series of small, real improvements stacked over time. Each one is its own win. Together they become the change you were looking for. The principle that the key to tapping success is more than the right words lives right here: success is less about scripting the perfect setup statement and more about being honest about what better looks like and going after it one increment at a time. Key Insight: "Ask yourself what one step better feels like. Use the tool to see if you can achieve that. Then ask again. That's the work." How to Set Realistic Expectations Before You Tap Setting realistic expectations before you tap is the single most useful thing you can do to make tapping feel like it's working. Before you start a round, answer three quick questions in your head. First, what is one step better for this issue? Not healed, not gone, but better. Name it specifically. "I want to be able to read the email without my chest tightening." "I want to feel calm enough to call my mom back." Second, which of the three measures matters most here? Are you trying to reduce how often this shows up, how long it sticks with you, or how intense it gets? Different issues respond to different measures, and naming the one you care about gives you something concrete to check at the end. Third, what would you accept as a real win? If a 33% reduction in intensity would let you finish what you need to finish today, that's a real win. Decide that before you tap, not after. Otherwise the part of you that wants everything healed in one round will quietly call any real progress a failure. Frequently Asked Questions How long does tapping take to work on anxiety? Tapping can reduce acute anxiety within 90 seconds to a few minutes in many cases, especially when the anxiety is tied to a specific, present-moment trigger. Long-standing anxiety patterns tied to deeper beliefs or past experiences usually take repeated sessions over weeks or months to shift in a lasting way. Why isn't my tapping working? Tapping often is working, but you're measuring it against the wrong yardstick. If you expect a single round to permanently resolve a long-standing issue, almost any real result will feel like failure. Try measuring frequency, duration, and intensity separately, and check whether any one of them is improving even slightly. How many rounds of tapping should I do on one issue? Do as many rounds as it takes to get one step better, then reassess. Some issues shift in a single round. Others need many rounds over multiple sessions. The right number is whatever moves the issue one increment in the direction you want, then you decide whether to keep going. What does it mean if I feel worse after tapping? Feeling worse after tapping usually means you've made contact with something the body had been keeping out of awareness, not that the tapping went wrong. The discomfort is information. Continue tapping on what's now showing up, or pause and come back to it when you have more space. Is tapping supposed to remove the problem completely? Tapping is designed to make things better, not necessarily to remove the issue completely. Sometimes "better" means the external situation changes. More often it means your emotional response to the situation changes enough that you can think, act, and make choices from a calmer place. How do I know if tapping is working long-term? Look at frequency, duration, and intensity over weeks and months, not minutes. Is the issue showing up less often, sticking with you for less time, or hitting with less force when it does show up? Any one of those moving in the right direction is real, durable progress. How long does tapping take to work on chronic pain? Tapping can reduce chronic pain intensity within a single session, sometimes substantially, but lasting change in chronic pain usually involves ongoing tapping practice combined with addressing the emotional and stress components that maintain the pain. Expect incremental progress measured over weeks, not a single permanent fix.

Brad Yates uses EFT tapping to explore the idea of “namaste,” acknowledging the divine in yourself and others. Tapping helps soften judgment and supports a deeper sense of shared humanity and respect.
