Dear ,

This week one of my audios was featured in the EFT Insight Newsletter. If you missed it you can get the self esteem boost tap along audio here

For those you who are new I would encourage you to join our facebook page and you should check out the podcast archive and subscribe through iTunes. Lots of great no cost resources can be found @ both of those locations.

1) Three new resources on the site this week. First, I have an interview with Jessica Ortner. Many of you will know Jessica from the Tapping Insiders Club and The Tapping Solution, but this time instead of doing the interview she is interviewed. She has some great insight on doing interviews, being interviews, and (most importantly) she share what she has learned from interviewing so many great people.

Second, there a great article on surrogate tapping from EFT Master Gwyneth Moss. Finally, there is a resource for figuring out how to describe your emotions making it easier to tap successfully. (links to all three below)

2) I have started a new project where I am going to be tapping everyday in a very specific way for the next year. The process is not the same tapping everyday, but 364 days of unique reflection questions, tapping scripts, and an insight recording process. I posted a short video about the beginning of the process and what I hope to accomplish.

3) Stuck on an issues? Ready to take your tapping to the next level? Looking for a little push to move forward? Consider working with me.

"Instructions for living a life. / Pay attention. / Be astonished. / Tell about it." -Poet Mary Oliver

That advice is something that's been difficult for me. I've spent almost 30 years trying to avoid paying attention through emotional eating. I've read the books. I've analyzed things in my head. I've intellectually understood some of the causes... but even when using "do it myself" tapping, my mental analysis got in the way of really connecting emotionally to past events and feelings. My session with Gene took my analytical mind out of the way as he was the one leading the session-so I could get into emotions, the very emotions I have been trying to avoid for years. I found out that having high expectations of myself right now can change my behavior right now-but that having high expectations of a past self that were not met, only brought a sense of disappointment and low self esteem. I feel freer after my session with Gene. And last night, I ate some chocolate after dinner-and then I stopped. I did not continue searching for other things to eat when I wasn't physically hungry. A little sweetness was enough, because that restless feeling wasn't there, that restless emptiness that food isn't really the right filling for. Thank you, Gene. I am actually astonished at how different I feel after one session, and I plan to have more. Sue

Interviewing, Being Interviewed and Lessons Learned w/ Jessica Ortner (Pod #44)
Over the past few years I have been lucky to get to know Jessica Ortner through a number of different projects. She has just a wonderful spirit and joy. I asked her if she would be willing to be interviewed for the podcast and she was a little bit hesitant. She is very good at doing interviews, but being interviewed isn't something she is use to.

Over the course of the conversation we talk about how to do a do interview and how to do a good job when being interviewed. We also spend a good deal of time talking about some of the lessons she has learned from all the great people she has gotten the chance to interview. That was my favorite part of the interview because she shares some great wisdom.

Coming Up With A More Accurate Description of How You Feel: Part 2 Positive Emotions
We know the more specific we are when describing the issue the faster we are going to find relief. Sometime we think we are being specific when we really aren't as specific as we can be.

Most of the time when I am working with a client and I ask them how they are feeling at any give point in the session I am given a one-word answer. "Angry." "Sad." "Confused." I normally will ask a follow up question along the lines of "[insert emotion] how?"
