Tapping On Core Emotional Issues: My Mother Didn't Want Me

This is a short video I made last year after using EFT on a specific event: an old "family joke" that was told to me as a child. It is a creative result of the process of EFT on core emotional issues from our past. In my case, when my mother learned that I was a girl, she said, "I don't want her." This became a regular "family joke" through the years. While intellectually I knew that my mother really didn't mean it (as she was drugged when she gave birth to me), I discovered that I was still holding on to that hurt. EFT allowed me to quickly identify it and get rid of it for good.

My mother continually gave me mixed messages and painful jokes: "oh, you are my best girl and my worst girl." I was her only child and therefore only girl so Of Course I was her best and worst girl. And then the family of grown ups I was living in would have a good laugh at silly me's expense.
I know from personal experience how childhood hurts are like thorns in the memory. You seem to be handling this potentially damaging statement from your own mom and for you to be sharing it is a way of exorcising it. If you choose to, you could even delve further if need be, to plumb the depth of your hurt. Creativity is a wonderful way of dealing with pain. Your video as far as it goes is beautiful. Would that be a way to express yourself further or maybe writing, poetry, something? Best regards,
