In a previous episode, we explored the use of EFT tapping for shame and in this episode we focus on the way that guilt can become deeply embedded in a person’s psyche. It can have both a useful purpose as well as an inherently problematic one. Feelings of guilt can alert us to actions that we have taken when we have crossed a line that is incongruent with our own personally held values and can serve as a signal for us to take responsibility and make repairs, especially with another person. However, chronic states of guilt, whether imbued by family, religious or cultural means can serve to set up a default, automated response that can make a person feel guilty on an ongoing basis. Even if you have not caused another real harm, it can prevent you from setting clear boundaries or engaging in self-care out of fear. This in turn may create states of resentment and fear that are ongoing throughout a lifetime. We discussed different considerations for how EFTTapping can support you in overcoming guilt in this episode.
