By: Sandy Zeldes | 8 September, 2012
Categories: Reversals, Self-Sabotage, Weight and Fitness

The Ping-Pong Process

By: Andy Hunt | 11 August, 2012
Categories: Anxiety, EFT Strategies, Reversals, Self-Sabotage

Crises as Creative Challenge: EFT for Unblocking Creativity

By: Connie Barrett | 2 April, 2011
Categories: EFT Strategies, Peak Performance, Procrastination, Reversals, Self-Sabotage

“If I’m writing a new kind of article or attempting a fictional innovation, I will sense, if I’m observant, distinct danger signals. The subconscious mind doesn’t want to get us into trouble.
