Tapping for Feeling Like a FRAUD
I wanted to address something today that comes up from time to time with my clients. That something if not addressed can hold you back from trying things that might feel risky.And that something is feeling like a fraud.
This block often comes up when a client is looking to branch out into a new area with their marketing. I work with a lot of coaches and healing practitioners and so for example, they might have set a goal to start creating YouTube videos, online webinars or, running live workshops.
In each of these cases, because they are putting themselves out there as an expert it triggers their insecurities and causes them to feel like a fraud. So for example, a weight loss coach who had successfully lost 50 lbs but maybe still feel like they have another 20 lbs to loose, they are not “model thin” and so, they think that they won’t be taken seriously.
So if you’re feeling stuck because you feel like you haven’t achieved “expert status” yet and feel like a fraud, tap along with me and you will begin to feel more authentic in your work.
Even though I feel like a fraud, I deeply and completely accept myself
Even though I’m uncomfortable putting myself out there because I’m not an expert, I haven’t got it all figured out yet, I love and accept myself anyway
Even though I’m coaching people but I’m not yet what I would call an expert, I recognize this as a feeling and choose to let it go
Thinking about putting myself out there, I feel like a fraud
Someone might say “who does he/she think she is”?
He/she’s not an expert
I’m afraid people won’t accept me
They might think I’m a fake
And a fraud
And ridicule or criticize me
People can be so mean sometimes
But, I have achieved so much
**********************************
Still I’m not perfect yet
I haven’t yet achieved all the success I desire for myself
So I don’t believe I have anything of value to offer
Who is going to listen to me?
They probably want to work with someone else who is better than I am
But I have achieved a great level of success so far
And others can benefit from what I know
**********************************
And although I don’t know it all yet
I have some great knowledge to offer
I can help people with my gifts and talents
And it’s how I choose to show up in the world
I really want to make a difference in other people’s lives
And build the business of my dreams
So, I choose to let these fears go
*************************************
And the reality is
That if I hold myself back and play small
Because of this belief that I’m a fraud
I’m robbing others of my unique gifts and talents
I can make a difference in other people’s lives
So I choose to release feeling like a fraud
I am a talented individual with something great to share with others
So I hope you found this video helpful, if you still feel blocked tap through the video or script again and few times and then, go forth and share your gifts with others.
Thank you and have an awesome day!
