Avoid burnout on re-entry
EFT is so exciting! People often go home from their first workshop filled with enthusiasm, and ready to change the world. If the EFT doesn’t seem to work as well at home, they can sometimes lose heart. I find it helpful to tell my clients that they may experience temporary setbacks at the beginning while they are still learning. I reframe such reactions as “tripping over an issue that is deeper than expected”. Perhaps it is a signal to go back to the basics, or just to do more tapping.
