Developing
Confidence in Telling Others about EFT
Telling
Others about EFT: Developing Confidence
By Dr. Patricia Carrington
In Part
1 of this series I pointed out that although what you tell people about
EFT is certainly important, what really matters – it’s the bottom line –is
your own confidence in EFT, your genuine and believable enthusiasm about it
when you describe it to others.
In the first article I shared with you my own remarkably
successful approach to telling people about EFT. In this one I’m going to
suggest some ways you can use EFT to increase your own confidence and
surefootedness when telling others about it. If you tap in the way I will
suggest, it can do wonders for you when you decide to introduce the method to
others.
Here are some of the issues that many people face when telling
others about EFT:
Many people tell themselves some very negative things in their
minds when they contemplate sharing EFT with others, and this can negatively
affect the outcome dramatically. Some of the negative thoughts and phrases
that may come to mind when you think of telling another person about it, and
some EFT antidotes you can use to successfully counteract them, are the
following:
1. Fear that telling someone else about EFT will reflect badly
on you in some way. EFT statements to counteract this:
“Even though I’m afraid they’ll think I’m crazy (unprofessional,
gullible etc.), I choose to be so aware of my good feelings about EFT that I
don’t even notice their reactions!”
Or, (for the last part of the statement): “…I choose to
remember the wonderful things I’ve seen EFT do and let my enthusiasm absorb
my attention.”
Or, “…I choose to let my confidence in EFT come across so
strongly that no-one can doubt it.”
2. Fear that the other person will ask questions about EFT that
you can’t answer. Some suggested EFT statements to counteract this:
“Even though I’m scared they’ll ask me questions I can’t
answer, I choose to answer them truthfully and let my enthusiasm about EFT
shine through.”
3. Fear of loss of professional status or economic security if
you endorse EFT Some suggested EFT statements for this:
“Even though I’m afraid my practice (reputation, business
contacts etc.) will be harmed if I endorse such a far out theory, I choose to
present it in such an easy casual manner that they will want to know more.
“
Or, “…I choose to get myself out of the way and forget trying
to convince them of anything – just tell them the truth about EFT.”
Or, “…I choose to let my genuine enthusiasm about EFT shine
through and let the chips fall where they may as far as their reactions go.”
You will notice that in the above EFT statements I use a positive
“Choices” phrase in place of the EFT default statement, “I deeply and
completely accept myself”. The Choices Method is an important variant of EFT
However, you can certainly use the EFT default phrase, “I deeply
and completely accept myself” in place of the positive phrases I suggest
here, or use the default phrase of the Choices
Method which is, “I choose to be calm and confident”. Whatever the exact
wording you use, these are vital issues that will apply to many people when
presenting EFT to another person.
I suggest that if you find yourself uncomfortable at the prospect
of telling someone else about EFT, that you use EFT with these or similar
phrases before speaking with them. This can be done even on short notice if
you excuse yourself from the room to tap your anxiety down and then return to
tell the person about EFT, or it can be done ahead of time if you anticipate
meeting with them in advance. Doing EFT beforehand can make a dramatic
difference in the effectiveness of your presentation and allow the other
person to feel un-pressured and impressed by your enthusiasm. Given a free
choice (no pressure) they will often want to learn more about EFT.
