Free yourself from your past and create ...

SEBASTIAAN VAN DER SCHRIER
About this episode

"You're not born with social anxiety, it is learned"

The words of Gwyneth Moss, an EFT Master (one of the only 29 worldwide) who holds certificates in Neuro Linguistic Programming, Hypnotherapy and the Human Givens approach to Psychotherapy. 

She's studied the works of Dr Robert Scaer, a leader in the field of trauma research.

She shares:

If the way you're behaving, thinking or feeling doesn't fit what is happening in the here and now, when you're not feeling calm for no reason, when you can't think straight in a situation, or when you can't act sensibly and resourcefully... 

...you're being affected by your past!

She shares in simple terms how our past affects our day to day experiences and how we can use EFT to release the hold the past has on us, so that we can free ourselves and live lives of calm confidence.

She shared how you go from re-living your past to re-telling it; no longer being emotionally connected to your past, being able to live in the now. 

QUOTE: With social anxiety your animal brain is going "it's not safe, it's not safe!" and your thinking brain is trying to go "yes it is, it's ok" , but there is no trust and the two are going in opposite directions. And your animal brain always wins because it's mission is your protection and your pleasure. It wants to protect you and keep you safe. It doesn't trust the thinking mind cause the thinking mind is slow. If you were in real danger you need your animal instincts to keep you safe. In real danger you don't have time to think. When there is any sense of danger the animal brain does not trust the thinking brain. 

EFT is therapy for your inner animal brain. Overcoming social anxiety is not about your thinking brain, it's not what you think. It's about your physical animal you, and helping that to feel safe.
