EFT Tapping Script: Overcoming Self-sabotage

Self-sabotage is a common experience often driven by deep-rooted fears, limiting beliefs, or lack of self-confidence. By recognizing and addressing these underlying issues, you can break free from self-sabotaging behaviors, coping mechanisms, and create a more positive fulfilling life.

Self-sabotage manifests as ...

- Creating unnecessary drama

- Being one's own worst enemy

- Perfectionism

- Comparing yourself to others

- Wasting time

By following the suggested tapping script and instructions, you can work toward overcoming self-sabotage and allow more positivity into your life.

We will be using four EFT tapping points, visualization and breath work for this script. If you haven't tapped before, start here.

Instructions:

First thing I want you to do is notice your sabotage program as an observer. How do you know you have this problem? (Example, "I can’t get my business started. I'm eating a tub of ice cream.")

Notice where you feel it.

How intense is this feeling connected to it, 0-10? (0- feeling awesome 10- feels intense)

Notice the feeling. "I feel pressure in my chest."

Notice the verbiage, the things you're saying to yourself. “I’m the biggest loser!”

Now that we gathered some information and your aware of it, let’s start tapping!!
