Overcoming Self-Doubt and Cultivating Courage with EFT Tapping
Have you ever had a moment where you knew you should speak up, but something stopped you?
Maybe it was an opportunity to introduce yourself, share your expertise, or advocate for your work- yet doubt crept in. If so, you're not alone. Even confidence coaches experience these moments, as Francine’s story reveals in this episode of Tapping into Emotional Freedom.
I had the pleasure of welcoming Francine, a confidence coach with a powerful mission. She helps children build confidence, yet she found herself struggling with self-promotion in an unexpected situation. Despite being completely at ease speaking in front of a crowd of 100 people about her program, she felt hesitant when a famous guest sat next to her. Instead of boldly introducing herself and advocating for her work, she found herself holding back, unsure if she should step forward.
Francine shared how her friends had to give her a little push to engage with the guest. Deep down, she knew the value of her program and the impact she makes, but something about that moment triggered discomfort. She expected the guest to recognize her brilliance without her having to advocate for herself. But when her friends encouraged her to act, she finally did-asserting herself and making a strong connection.
The Emotional Block & Physical Response
As we explored this moment through EFT tapping, Francine realized that her hesitation wasn’t just about that one event. It reflected a deeper pattern- feeling that others should naturally see her worth without her having to assert it. As we tapped, she also noticed physical discomfort in her neck, something she initially attributed to arthritis but later connected to the emotions of self-doubt and hesitation.

The Shift: Releasing Self-Doubt Through Tapping
During the tapping session, Francine experienced a significant shift. She moved from feeling disappointed in herself to actually laughing at the situation. The heaviness of self-judgment started to lift as she embraced compassion for herself. She recognized that even confidence coaches can have moments of doubt and that this didn’t make her any less of an expert. By the end of the session, she felt more at ease, realizing that self-advocacy isn’t about pushing-it’s about standing in her power.
The Bigger Lesson: Confidence as an Ongoing Practice
Francine’s story is a powerful reminder that confidence isn’t about eliminating doubt-it’s about moving forward despite it with courage. Even experts in confidence can face their own blocks, but the key is learning how to navigate them with self-compassion and the right tools. EFT tapping helped Francine reframe her moment of hesitation, turning it into an opportunity for growth rather than self-judgment.
