Tapping to release the identities other people gave you (Pod #714)

Our subconscious mind confuses the difference between how we were treated and who we are. When someone left us off an invitation, we did not just file away the fact that we were not invited. We wrote a story about what it meant. They don't like me. I'm not interesting enough. I'm stupid. Over time the circumstance fades, but the story stays. It stops being a conclusion and starts feeling like a plain truth about who we are. That is what makes these identities so hard to tap on. Trying to tap on "I am stupid" when it feels like a fact is a little like trying to tap to change the color of your eyes. In this week's episode I walk through the process I use to pull these stories apart so they become tappable again. This is a slightly more comprehensive process than what I normally teach. It is something to sit with, and to come back to over several days, because these identities sit at our core and tend to take more than one pass to unseat. It is important work because changing the story changes how you carry yourself, not just how you feel in the moment. Support the podcast!
