What’s the Emotion Behind Your Pain?

To begin, get your journal and a pen or pencil. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and begin tapping through the points as you ask yourself: What emotion is behind my pain? When I see, hear, and smell the story of my pain, what emotion(s) comes up?

There is no right or wrong answer here. Just keep tapping while asking yourself these questions repeatedly. If you get an answer like anger, fear, or guilt, ask yourself how intense that emotion feels on a scale of 0 to 10. Also take note of your pain, and give it a number on a scale of 0 to 10.

Once you pinpoint an emotion, keep tapping while asking yourself a more specific question, such as: Fear of what? Anger at whom? Guilt about what?

When you have your answer(s), slowly open your eyes and write down the emotion(s) and the emotional intensity number, as well as any other ideas, thoughts, or impressions that came up as you were tapping.

When I did this exercise at my pain-relief event, someone raised a hand and asked what to do if nothing came up. “Oh, then we can’t help you,” I joked. Then, turning to the audience, I said, “There’s a broken one over here.” Remember, one of the primary focuses of this process is learning to love and accept yourself. If you don’t get an answer, that’s okay. Some parts of the process laid out in this book will resonate with you more than others, and that’s okay, too.

Whether or not you get an answer, however, I urge you to complete this entire chapter. It’s such a central part of this process that everyone can benefit from.
