Hi Theresa! I was wondering if you could give some insight. Often when I tap, as I'm saying the phrases, I feel resistance come up in my body. Is this what we want? The resistance isn't always gone after the tapping. But I'm just wondering if resistance coming up might be the whole point, that by tapping we release the resistance. Or is the resistance just information that I hit some core limiting belief that I need to work on (maybe also with tapping)? Thanks!

Hi Junn!

Thanks for bringing this up. Can you tell me what specific phrases are triggering resistance?

While it's normal to have moments of resistance (as the nervous system can feel safe in sticking with what's familiar and breaking old patterns feels "threatening" to the habitual way of doing something), we ultimately want to unpack what's coming up and see it as a messenger from the body.

This can sometimes show up in tapping sessions and can even block the therapeutic effect if we don't turn towards the resistance and see what it's about. We ultimately want to get curious about the resistance and clear what is causing it to keep popping up.

It really depends on how this shows up for you & what triggers this feeling... let me know and I'll see how we can work through this together!!!
