Why EFT “Doesn’t Work” for Some People (...

SEBASTIAAN VAN DER SCHRIER
About this episode

In this episode...

Tried EFT tapping and didn’t get results? You might think you’re a “tough case” or that nothing works for you, but there’s usually a deeper reason why tapping seems to fall flat.

I talk with EFT Master and psychotherapist Carol Look about what really causes tapping to “fail” and how to turn it into lasting change. We explore the hidden upsides of staying stuck, the downsides your subconscious sees in getting better, and the role of subconscious resistance in blocking progress.

You’ll discover:
✅ Why your brain might not feel safe letting go of your problem
✅ How to identify the real root behind procrastination, anxiety, or self-sabotage
✅ Simple tapping sequences to address resistance and unlock breakthroughs
✅ Why persistence, not perfection, is the secret to lasting transformation

Whether you’ve tried tapping before or you’re brand new to it, this conversation will help you make it work for YOU, even if you’ve been stuck for years.
