The post What is “Trauma Dumping” and How It Could Be Related to the “Trauma Pull” Phenomenon appeared first on EFT Tapping Training Institute™.

When working to overcome many of life’s challenges or to change an unhealthy behavior our final category of why we may not feel ready for such a change is the sense of lack of safety. This is often experienced as a sense of fear or lack of sense of safety when considering how life will be as the desired change unfolds. Whether we are trying to lose weight, release resentment, put ourselves out there in our business etc., a felt sense of not being safe may emerge through body sensations, procrastination, avoidance, shutting down and more. Our past experiences “wire into” our nervous systems parameters for what feels safe vs threatening. Through a polyvagal/trauma informed lens we explore this most important final category of source of psychological reversals.

Digging deeper into potential sources of secondary gains takes us to the arena of lack of deserving. When working to achieve something better in your life; i.e. healing from a chronic health condition, finding an ideal relationship, making the income you desire, finding close friendships, etc. the desired outcome can look very clear but the achieving of it can often feel out of reach. The many ways we might have learned that we don’t deserve: health, happiness, success are the key places we need to learn to find and tap on in order to release the subconscious curse of “I don’t deserve to resolve my problem.”

We call carry the roles we identify with in the world that can both serve us and hold us back from change. Whether we identify as “the good girl” or “the responsible one” or “the eldest” or the “selfless caregiver” or “the empath” or “the breadwinner”… When we try to make healthful changes in our lives, we can run into conflicts in which those roles or identities can come into conflict and can commonly interfere and sabotage what we say we want to achieve, often in unconscious and subtle ways which may look like distraction or procrastination or simply a lack of progress in ones tapping work. In this 3-part series on Secondary Gain categories we will explore how these show up, what they may look like and how to work with them.

We often hear of a “let down” that can occur for individuals who have dedicated themselves to the process of getting certified in EFT and then experience a kind of hole that occurs shortly thereafter. The transition from having a mentor and community and regular feedback and interaction suddenly changes and now there can be an experience of being more isolated, lacking support and without clear direction. There is that and then there is also for many a lack of knowledge or skill as to how to turn one’s EFT “hobby” into a real business. In this podcast we explore some of the first considerations and steps and questions a new EFT practitioner will want to know about when embarking in their new role and journey.
