Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. Today I'm joined by Energy Therapist and Coach Lisa Tighe. In this honest and revealing conversation Lisa talks about the life changing realisation she had at age 33 about what was blocking her happiness and what she did to resolve it. Lisa beautifully and simply explains the connection between EFT or Tapping, and energy, and how EFT works to connect us with our trapped emotions - which may sometimes come as a complete shock to us when identified. We look at the emotions that lie behind emotional eating and the dysfunctional adult behaviours that stem from our childhood stories and how we neutralise them to live better lives. So please join me as we look at life through a different lens.   KEY TAKEAWAYS After attending some NLP training through work, Lisa realised she could change her life. NLP didn’t feel like it went deep enough for Lisa, so she began looking into other techniques and discovered EFT which opened up an entire new world and lifestyle for Lisa. Something that has happened in your past doesn’t have to dictate your future, this was one of the biggest things Lisa realised and what helped her transform the way she was living. Frequently there is a catalyst for change in people’s lives. Lisa finds this in the women she works with, that something has happened which makes them realise the self-loathing and destructive behaviours have to stop. Self-sabotaging behaviours are behaviours that we have done once that felt good that we continue to do and push past the point of normality, behaviours that then impact parts of our lives negatively. Recognising self-sabotaging behaviour is one thing but then you have to do the hard work to break the habit and part of that is being honest about your true feelings about yourself. Acknowledging feelings is one of the key components of EFT and tapping. Lisa also focuses on identifying where feelings are duplicated across different situations. Our bodies are feeding us information about what is happening with us and if things need to change, we just have to learn to listen to what our body is telling us.
