Peta and Dr Phil have the most extraordinary conversation here. They actually share about how Phil trained under the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy giants and greats, when CBT was just emerged and considered quackery and ridiculous. Phil shares that he has seen many therapies be rejected and then embraced - this was a refreshing conversation! It also gave me great hope in the 4th wave approaches. Part of what has driven Phil all these years, is searching for the tools that would help his clients - he found the 4th wave approaches well before we did!

Phil has contributed so much in the area of developing psychological measures and therapy tools (links below) - he is truly a giant in the psychology field. 

Note: about 3 months after this interviewed was recorded, I (Peta) received news that Phil had passed. He was still seeing clients from his nursing home and positively impacting the lives of those he touched. I was quietly devastated but eternally grateful I was able to have this conversation and record Phil's journey through the decades.

Naomi Janzen shares her personal journey of discovering EFT and how it transformed her life. She initially dismissed tapping as ridiculous but later turned to it during a period of severe depression. After just a week of tapping for two hours a day, she experienced a profound shift and a sense of joy and lightness. Naomi emphasizes the importance of addressing deep issues in the body that talk therapy alone could not reach. She also highlights the individual nature of healing and the need for self-tapping to reinforce the work done in sessions. Naomi's story serves as an inspiration for others seeking healing through EFT.

Naomi Janzen is an Accredited Expert Clinical EFT Practitioner for Evidence Based EFT and Master Trainer for EFT International, as well as the writer and co-producer of the documentary The Science of Tapping and the creator of the Clarity Tapping method and author of forthcoming books Tapping Out of Depression (Even When You Barely Care Enough to Try) and Clarity Tapping - A New Way Backward. She is the creator of the Remindfulness app, named a Top 10 Mindfulness App by Positive Psychology and from 2014 to 2019 she co-hosted One Mind Live, a weekly live online worldwide meditation broadcast - now an Apple podcast. A screenwriter for over 25 years before becoming an EFT practitioner, she uses her storyteller’s sensibility to convey the principles of her twin passions, EFT and mindfulness, to her clients, trainees and as she puts it “anyone who will listen.”
