Self-Esteem and My Incompetence

I’m a Rational Masterind.

Or so says Myers Briggs Personality Type Indicator.

INTJ to be exact.  And there’s less than 3% of the population that are.

And I have one tragic flaw…

(I have many flaws, but only one that’s truly tragic)

I feel incompetent.

It’s built into my personality type to feel inadequate.

So can you imagine all the problems that causes me?

Social interactions. Public speaking presentations. Client meetings.  I always questions whether I know enough, if I’ve prepared enough.  To the point of feeling ‘quite possibly totally incompetent’.

Maybe you think you relate.  But your milesage may vary.  Do you have clear insight as to your own ‘main tragic flaw’?

Is it that you feel insecure about people liking you?

Is it that you feel things need to be perfect before you’re fulfilled?

I do highly recommend finding a Myers Briggs personality type test online, you can find them free. Search Google, of course.

But this is about me me me.

I have more email newsletters, website bookmarks, and rss subscriptions than I could keep up with even if I read it all full time non-stop.

And I have worked in more industries, learned about more topics related to career, business, marketing, health, psychology, esoteric philosophy, etc. than just about anyone else I have ever met.

And my incompetence is to not be quite good enough in any particular area.

I want it all. I want to know it all. Indeed I love it all. But it’s all coming too fast, its all ‘a bit too much’.

The rate of human knolwedge continues at an ever increasing rate.  The threats of politics increase their strangle hold around our necks. Whether you know it or not.

My burden is to see through my ‘rational mastermind’ such opportunity, but to feel the constraint of time, each day, and in my short lifespan.

So I do what I can. To extend my power, my ability, and my life expectancy. Through health, exercise, diet, and staying in touch with technological trends that might free our self-expressive creative capacities, whilst extending our lives.

I guess what I’m after is this…

My archimedean point of leverage.

How can I progress fast enough to feel truly competent that I am contributing and indeed succeeding at the ultimate goal of helping to free society of the constraints of politics, death, and infinite stupidity.

Hahaha.. I have no idea.

And I’ll go on suffering. Go on enjoying life’s rhythms where I can.  Go on experiencing incompetence.  Go on progressing always too slow, yet assuredly in the right direction.

May we gain the time needed to succeed.

EFT Tapping Therapy

I am due to complete my EFT Tapping Therapy training in London in 2 weeks.

My father runs an alternative therapy health centre in East London where I will be available to provide EFT therapy.  If East London is too far, then I am often in central London and can schedule an appropriate time and place for a therapy session.

Contact me for details and to discuss options.

What amazes me about EFT tapping therapy is that it combines many therapeutic disciplines into a very fast working technique to balance the emotions.



Stress. Anxiety. Depression. Even physical pain.  I have worked with several therapists recently and have helped them to rapidly alleviate some of their own conditions, including:

Reduction in sharp wrist pains caused by a recent fall (middle aged lady who was left with her wrist in a cast just 2 weeks ago!)
A guy who suffered an embarrassing episode whilst in an interview for Oxford University. He was so embarrassed by what had happened that he felt ashamed from his father.  But literally within 30 minutes, during the first EFT tapping session, his embarrassment reduced down to ‘practically nothing’ and he realised that the main concern was actually his underlying disappointment with himself.  We didn’t have time in that session to work in his new found underlying disappointment, but his progress with the embarrassment factor left him elated and peaceful in an area of his life that had been gnawing at him for months.
Why do I endorse EFT?

It took me 5 years to finally get around to giving EFT a fair try.

I have a passion for therapy, having studied CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) as part of my Psychology A-Level, buying many more books on CBT and therapy in general, than was necessary for the course.

Coming from a ‘broken home’ I also have experienced my fair share of councelling and family therapy.

Fascinated by linguistics (the structure and effects of language) via the likes of Alfred Korzybski, I discovered NLP (neuro linguistic programming), with its applications in therapy, including Ericksonian Hypnosis.

To cut a long story short, everything that I have experienced and discovered about psychology, therapy, and mind power can be brought to bare within the incredibly simple appearing method of Emotional Freedom Technique tapping.

What’s more… and what finally tipped me over the edge to investigate EFT properly… was all the various endorsements from people that I respect, including medical doctors, best selling authors, and good salt-of-the-earth honest people.

And now I have experienced the benefits myself, delivered those benefits for a small but growing number of people (100% success rate so far!), and am finalising my formal certification as an EFT practitioner.
