Good morning,

This one is going to be very personal...

My motivation to create tapping resources and tools comes from a number of sources. It might be a topic that keeps cropping up in my one-to-one client calls. It could be a recommendation from a listener like you. Or it might even be because of a conversation I overheard on the subway.

And sometimes I create the resource that I need in this moment.

A few weeks ago I fell out with a friend I’ll call "Dave". I made a bad mistake that caused him a lot of pain.

Dave had every right to feel deeply hurt and to feel really mad at me.

In the middle of all of those emotions he came to the (erroneous) conclusion that I had taken advantage of him. That I had used prior knowledge about him to get what I wanted and that I didn't care if I hurt him.

I will own the mistake. I made it! But I never tried to hurt him. I certainly didn't take advantage of him or of what I knew about him.

But it didn't matter because his mind was made up. There was nothing I could say or do to change his mind (or even to get him to hear me out). He left our conversation thinking that was a selfish, mean-spirited person.

The tap-along audio (and accompanying tapping script) that I have captured here is my own tapping for when someone thinks badly of us (me) and there is nothing we can do about it.

I can understand why this one might not be your cup of tea. But even if you aren't dealing with this exact issue, you might find it helpful to hear how I tap for one of my own issues in real time, and it may be useful in future.

Blessings,

Gene
