Good morning,
One of the concepts I spend a lot of time talking about with my clients is the idea of how expectations about transformation impact how we feel after a tapping session.
Our expectations about tapping impact how we feel about our progress as much (if not more) as the actual progress itself.
The starkest example of this that I have experienced happened years ago in a client session. I was doing a session with the wife of a friend of mine and in all honesty she wasn't very excited about it. I think she resigned herself to tapping with me just so that her husband would stop saying "You really should tap on this with Gene."
At the beginning of the session she was, let's say, less than enthusiastic about tapping. Then we tapped, and made some progress. Then we tapped some more, with a little more progress.
By the fifteen minute mark of our conversation she had become really frustrated. Not frustrated by tapping with me, but instead frustrated with the fact that the last round of tapping we had just done had not completely cleared a childhood trauma.
She went from frustrated about having to tap because it was a waste of her time, to being frustrated by the lack of instantaneous healing.
Her emotions were based not on what was happening, but her unrealistic expectations about healing.
This week, as we continue the Healing Fundamentals series, we look at Dan Cleary's idea of the 10% Solution, a concept concerning how to manage expectations in the healing process.
This is not about just lowering your expectations, but instead about understanding how even small amounts of healing can be deeply powerful.
Of all of the concepts I share with my clients and students, this is the one they quote back to me the most because they recognize how useful it is in their journey.
This week's teaching is
available in both audio and video formats.

The 10% Solution is one of my favorite ideas, so I would really love to hear how it lands with you,
Gene
