Use this chance!! --- Rick Wilkes is an Emotional Freedom Coach who has been guiding people for over 23 years using energy healing and EFT Tapping and has worked with thousands of individuals. He blends a unique combination of body-centered and energetic approaches to activate authentic self-expression, personal power, calm confidence, and a warm sense of self-love in his clients.

We discuss the fear of rejection, how to overcome it and expand your comfort zone. Rather than push yourself harshly, we speak of how to gently expand it, and listen to your body’s YES and NO’s. 

Rick shares “We coach around helping people build enough resilience so they can be out in the world with real people, but also have healthy boundaries that say “ow, you didn’t like what I said? Ow I wasn’t saying it for you”.

QUOTE: Many people that have gone through this kind of process (tapping) become much more confident than your average person because you’re building up your resilience.
