When I started doing my own therapy in a serious way, I had never heard of EFT.
I was chronically anxious, busy running from painful memories, without confidence or self-belief.
I can remember so many specific moments where I made a decision to lean into something difficult, to stop running and be with feelings that hurt as much as any physical pain ever had... and it changed my whole life.
As I deliberately expanded to allow in more discomfort - and realise that the fear of it was often worse than the facing - I realised that there was suddenly room for more joy too.
Someone often afraid to leave the house became someone who feels ease and confidence in her skin, who doesn't take responsibility for other people's feelings, who is allowed to make mistakes. Who is so much more open to give and recieve love, to nurture healthy relationships and notice beautiful things.
Life is rich and colourful, not without struggle but with the tools to deal with it, instead of trying to outrun it.
Change is always possible with the right tools 🦋
Living with fear is often much worse than stopping running 🦋
How can you expand for more joy?
