Do you ever feel anxious about certain tasks, even if you’ve done them before? Maybe it’s something like paying the bills, filling in forms, or just keeping up with life admin. I know that feeling all too well.
Today, I finally posted all my paperwork to the accountant for our tax returns. I always put it off because my stomach churns just thinking about it. But as I was preparing it all, I started tapping—on the physical sensations, the tightness in my stomach, and the worried chatter in my mind.
Fears like, “What if I’ve forgotten something and get in trouble?” would pop up. I recognised that this wasn’t just about the tax return. It reminded me of being little Katie, back in school, worrying about getting told off.
When I was younger, my Dad was part of the School Governors, and one day the Head Teacher asked me to give him an envelope.
Well, I completely forgot, and the Head wasn’t happy. He was tall, with scrunched-up eyebrows, and it left a big impression on me.
In one of my EFT sessions, I tapped through that memory, releasing the fear of getting told off that I had held onto.
Yet, as I tackled the tax return, I realised there’s still more to clear. And that’s okay. Healing is a process—it’s like being a detective, finding all the hidden beliefs we carry. It’s a journey, not a one-time fix.
EFT and Public Speaking: A Success Story
On the flip side, there’s an area where EFT has really helped me—public speaking. Earlier this month, I did a 40-minute tapping demonstration in front of around 25 lovely women.
Beforehand, one of them asked if I was nervous, and I honestly wasn’t. A few years ago, I would have been! I’d have been shaking at the thought of standing up in front of a group. But I’ve done so much tapping on this that my body felt calm, and I could actually enjoy the experience.
That’s what I love about EFT. When we work on the core beliefs behind our fears, we can genuinely transform how we feel and react. Public speaking no longer makes me feel anxious because I’ve worked through all the layers that used to hold me back.
Have You Tried EFT tapping?
You might be thinking, “But I’ve tried tapping, and it didn’t work for me.” I get it.
The truth is, it’s not that EFT doesn’t work—it’s just that you might not have tapped on all the layers yet. Think of it like peeling an onion. Each time you tap, you’re getting closer to the core belief that’s holding you back.
For me, with tax returns, I still have a few more layers to go. But when it comes to public speaking, I’ve cleared all those limiting beliefs.
And here’s the thing—it’s okay if it takes time. My emotional rucksack has been filling up for decades, so it’s going to take time to unpack it. The key is persistence.
If you still feel something after tapping, it just means there’s more to clear, and that’s part of the process. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is emotional healing.
So, if you’re ready to start unpacking your own emotional rucksack, I’d love to help. Why not book a free EFT taster session with me and see how we can start peeling back those layers together?
