Back to core issues.  How do we find them?  I have tapped on so many angles, some of which really hurt while tapping, with no relief.  I have tapped on the  wanting or needing to hang on to my problems, wanting to be a victim to everything little thing my mom, dad, sis teacher, husband, friends and neighbors ever said or did to me that embarassed me or made me feel badly. Ihave tapped on my physical embarassment and inadequacy, all my fears, when my fears started....  I have tapped on eft and other methods not working....and on not being able to find core issues, not having a purpose or passion, etc etc.....i have tapped on stuff practitioners have suggested that seemed totally unrelated and evoked absolutely no emotion...just in case they were on to something.

 

How come I don't have boobs money respect and a passion or purpose that makes me feel like crawling out of bed in the morning?   What is the core issue?

 

Thanks...gotta run.

There is no one process to get to core issues.  In fact it's not about process, it's about building a relationship with the parts inside us so that they feel comfortable and safe enough to let us know what is going on.  Many of us find that although we can resolve some issues on our own, many core issues lie so deep within us that we need some help accessing them.  Most EFT practitioners work with another practitioner when they can't budge issues on their own, because it's not a matter of having the knowledge or the skill to get to core issues alone, there has to be an atmosphere of respect and compassion for the hurting parts inside, and because we are so close to our own issues, it can be hard for us to create this on our own.  Just last night I had a session with an experienced practitioner and was amazed to discover a pattern I have had forever that is just so obvious to me now, that I've been oblivious to all my life, despite tapping all over the issue from every different angle I could think of.  It could come up because the skilled practitioner I was working with was objective and able to help me to gently accept that inside which I have been rejecting or repressing without even being aware of it.

You sound really frustrated and I can relate to that, I've been there on many issues too.  The best I can come up with is to suggest that you find a really good practitioner to work with and do several sessions (if we keep chopping and changing to work with different practitioners we run the risk of never developing deep enough rapport with a practitioner for the internal parts to feel safe enough to really go there.)  If you would like a recommendation for a good practitioner, feel free to drop me an email via the forum functionality.

Hang in there and very best wishes,

Jo

There are many different ways into core issues .... Like Jo said, find someone who feels good to you and work with them for a while. In my case, I do a lot of ancestors work with folks who are experienced self-healers and tappers -- often there is a larger family issue at work that isn't the fault of the individual person. It can be very frustrating to have done all this work and still not get results. I have a free recorded call on my site if you want to hear what it can look like. Look under the section called Family Energetics. Please read the disclaimer first before listening to the call. (Moderators: feel free to edit this if this not appropriate referral.)

Thanks for the referrals both of you.  I may go ahead and start with an appointment with Deborah at this point because she is just accross the state line and in my time zone, making scheduling easier.  Though I may have to go to a hotel room to have some privacy.  I don't really have my own space.  I feel as if I am going to explode if I dont get out of this place and time and body....maybe another planet????

Deborah's call is excellent and could be a really helpful means for you to see that some of our issues go so far beyond us.  It's wonderful that you are considering reaching out for support.  That's a really healing thing to do for you, especially given the challenges with finding a space for yourself.  Good for you Teann.

Very best wishes,

Jo
