Overwhelming Choices
With so many information sources available today, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed by all the choices. Sometimes when we are presented with a lot of choices, and have limited time (who doesn't?), we end up doing nothing. It can feel like we're invited to a free buffet... so we MUST eat everything there, right?!?! Selecting just the most delicious options, the ones that seem like a really good fit for us right here right now, can make it easier to move forward. Doing a few rounds of tapping can calm that feeling of overwhelm and bring clarity and direction to our decisions.
 

Stress Relief Package
Chronic, long term stress is very hard on the body and mind. It can lead to irritability, exhaustion, difficulty in concentrating, and physical symptoms such as headache, racing heart, fatigue, and body aches. We cover three fundamental causes of stress in this package: 1) Lack of boundaries, 2) Overwhelm - having more to do than we feel capable of, 3) Feeling criticized by internal or external judges. $27
         
 
Dr. Robert Scaer on Trauma
Dr. Robert Scaer, a leader in the field of trauma and healing, shared his years of research with us in a recent interview. With 30 years of experience, and extensive study of the human brain and its response to traumatic events, he brings an unique insight and understanding to this process, including key components of healing from trauma (such as connection and support, and somatic or body components such as tapping).
 

When You’re Really Stuck: Fundamental Questions
As long as we are not safe, don't deserve it, or could lose our identity if we got it, our primitive brain will stop us in our tracks. Willpower may win out for awhile, but it is a constant fight. Another block that can come up is the fear of feeling too intensely if we proceed. Again, the primitive brain will do its best to protect us from what it thinks could harm us. We teach you ways to soften the fear and beliefs and tap them away in this program. On Sale $57 (Reg. price $67)
         
 
Why Do We Become Ungrounded?
We learn to disassociate... and it is also instinctual. For better or worse, we learn "coping" mechanisms from Mom and Dad and other early caregivers. Our primitive brain instinctually dissasociates us both in the freeze response and whenever pain or injury would keep us from fighting or fleeing. Energy Tapping (EFT) can certainly help! Tapping can calm the primitive brain and help release old patterns of behavior.
 

Understanding the Law of Attraction
What is Law of Attraction? How do we activate the Law of Attraction? So how do I consciously use the Law of Attraction? ...and more! $15

Clearing Childhood Trauma - E-Book
Early childhood experiences color most of what we think, do, believe, and resist. Negative emotional intensity around any “lessons” we learned as a child can leave us “stuck” as an adult with the fears and energies we learned long ago. In this guide, we will show you how the brain stores trauma and teach you a powerful way to release these old fears and beliefs so you can feel more confident and in control of what you do, think, and feel. These are not just experiences from “your past” ... these are energies still active in your current vibration. On Sale $17 (Reg. price $27)

Childhood Trauma Relief - Starter Set
Childhood trauma often creates an energy of being frozen… unable to free ourselves from the feelings that predominated when we were young. We can feel bound by family rules… or tormented by the fear of bullies and critics. And painfully unwanted and unlovable. This kit includes 5 Coaching & Tapping sessions (MP3 downloads with PDF transcripts) and the Clearing Childhood Trauma e-book (PDF). On Sale $57 (Reg. price $77)
         
 

Self-Sabotage: Removing Your Sub-Conscious Blocks
Tired of getting in your own way? Want to uncover some of the blocks and fears that are creating conflicts and sabotaging your efforts? This package targets some of the main blocks to self-fulfillment of any kind. On sale $37 (Reg. price $47)
         
 
Flight, Fight, or Freeze
In the Trauma and the Primitive Brain video, we talk about Flight, Fight, and Freeze responses. Let's go into a bit more detail here. Say you are a 5-year-old kid on the playground swinging. You're enjoying the day and the warm breeze. You are all alone, lost in your own daydreams. Suddenly, the 8-year-old school bully pulls you off the swing and threatens to hit you. You have three instinctive responses.
