How to become emotionally strong and have healthy boundaries

How to become emotionally strong and have healthy boundaries

"It is life-changing, the results are very very compelling"

The words of Dr. David Lake, a medical practitioner, supervisor of therapists, and psychotherapist who has been in private practice since 1977.

He shares his views on energy psychology, tapping, creating boundaries, and when face to face therapy is necessary and the benefits of it.

He shares: I used to think that myself (that I would have to live with my fears for the rest of my life) as it was my evidence from the real world and it was also true in the psychological and medical profession in the usual sense. And it's been true for many many years. But, approximately 20 years ago things started to change; a whole new paradigm emerged. In this paradigm, the so-called energy psychology, it turns out that even though when you don’t know exactly how it works, you can actually help three kinds of serious human emotion to minimise and even disappear.

One is most kinds of anxiety. Two is most kinds of fear. Three is most kinds of deep hurt, related especially to trauma. I don't mean right away, or in one go, or in 10 minutes, but over time the most astounding things can happen to those feelings that have been typically out of reach for other treatments.

Other treatments, which I call outdated, typically are cognitive treatments working in the mind and most people think that's where the problem lies, but I no longer believe that. I think the problem is not in your mind, I think the problem is in your feelings which is somewhere coded or logged or anchored in your body.

It is a brand-new day when you can actually reduce anxiety fear and hurt. Your body is processing these feelings away from where they are stored. And once they are gone they are gone

When I found out I could release the fear I could actually not believe it.

This is the reason I actually entered the profession (psychotherapy), to be able to get these kind of results, and for many years I never could, I was amazed. And now that you can get these kind of results I'm equally amazed the most of the profession doesn't want to know about it!

Needless to say, this is an absolute killer interview that is must listen, and also a must-share. Get ready to have your perspective shifted forever!

How Social Anxiety Fades: 3 Clear Signs of Progress

How Social Anxiety Fades: 3 Clear Signs of Progress

In this episode…  I’ll reveal 3 clear ways you can tell your social anxiety is improving—so you can track your progress and stay motivated on your journey to social confidence. Here’s what we’ll cover: Frequency: Are you triggered less often? For example, if you feel anxious in 8 situations at work, like meetings or lunch breaks, and manage to eliminate anxiety in one of those areas, you’re making progress! Intensity: Is your anxiety less overwhelming? Imagine your anxiety used to be a 9/10 around your boss, but with consistent EFT tapping, it drops to a 4/10. That’s a huge improvement—even if it’s not yet zero. Duration: Does your anxiety fade more quickly? For instance, if social anxiety during lunch used to linger for the entire hour, but now fades within a few minutes, you’ve shortened its grip on you. Progress is built on these small but meaningful steps. When you focus on these wins—reducing triggers, lowering intensity, or shortening duration—you’ll see how far you’ve come on your journey to effortless social ease. 💪 Resources to support your journey: ●     Get my FREE mini-course, 7 Secrets to Social Confidence ●     Check out my YouTube channel here and here for powerful testimonials Tune in to learn how to recognize your own progress and take actionable steps to overcome social anxiety! ______ Do you feel awkward in social situations?
