I think you said one of the most important words in this conversation.

And I imagine something that is the end result of doing tapping, which is compassion.

People are meaner to themselves and

than they are to their worst enemy.

We have the meanest thoughts about ourselves.

We're so judgmental about ourselves.

Men and women, we just love picking on ourselves.

And especially if you grew up in a house that was overly critical,

you inherited this idea that, well, let me beat myself up before other people do.

It's a way of protecting ourself.

You know, you actually have this quote that's from the section inside of the book where you go through these overwhelmed states.

You say, every pattern is your nervous system trying to protect you.

Every pattern is your nervous system trying to protect you.

So even this idea of being hyper critical, beating yourself up throughout the day, this is you in some kind of crazy way, your brain trying to protect yourself.

But we have to step back and say, hey,

Is this what we want?

Is this really the way that it has to be?

Or can I let go of this with some tools because it's not serving me anymore?

Could you take us through an exercise for especially anybody that

identifies with some version of this thought, which is that they're not good enough.
