Tips and Tricks For Trauma Tapping (continued)
BiLateral Stimulation for “positive beliefs” was a few blogs ago
Go ahead and tap left right left right left right - What’s the positive belief that you identified?
Notice what could assist you in relieving tension or discomfort around this future scenario. Tap left then right for 30 to 60 seconds.
What did you identify that could assist you?
Challenge: Visualize yourself facing your fear and engaging in the thing that scares you.
Notice how you are reacting differently, responding differently and being present in the future moment the way that you want it to be.
Take 30 to 60 seconds to fully envision it and tap left right left right left right
Is it worth the pain, the effort, the resources?
Gratitude
Many people when they look back at this moment, they do so with gratitude and significantly less bitterness. That often indicates a level of healing. They wish the pain had not been there and they simultaneously realize that the pain motivated them to create a life that works better for them. Some people invalidate their own beliefs and feelings.
Challenge: Imagine that you get to create a new life, a new boat and what you sail away. You get to embark on a new journey, the wreckage and waves in the past help you prepare for the new voyage.
Your new boat does not ensure your own safety and survival, but it has the potential to offer life rafts to other survivors just like you, trying to find their way out of the storm.
You are never alone in your pain. Never.
Helpful narrative
One narrative that helps some people is “We live in a broken world where life can be messy hurtful and confusing. The pain is all consuming sometimes. The pain feels vast and heavy and at times insurmountable. You may wonder if you can find the peace that you’re searching for. You may feel alone in the way that you respond and struggle with things alone in the shame the stress in your fear. You might even think that you’re the only one who feels this way. You might think that no one can relate to it or accept you if they knew what you were dealing with.”
Become a life raft for yourself.
