The first time I tapped on physical pain. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.mn.co/plans/1872620 I'm walking into my own bedroom, and my wife is sitting down on the floor, and she has this look on her face as she's watching TV. I said, "Are you okay?" She goes, "My stomach hurts." I said, "Have you tried tapping on it?" She says, "It hurts too much to try." I said, "Well, let me help you." So I did a couple rounds of EFT. Now, EFT is not the earliest tapping model, but it is the one that I learned. It's a bit long and laborious, and it does work. It just takes a lot longer. And I don't have a lifetime to deal with one problem, 'cause I've got so many inside me, as well as we all do, 'cause we're all growing. So I did a couple of rounds, and then I said, "How's your stomach?" She goes, "It's gone." I said, "Cool." So that was the first person I actually tapped on with pain. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #EFTTapping #InnerWork #HealingJourney

What was going on in your life during that time? 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.mn.co/plans/1872620 I said, "Well, how strong is your pain, 0 to 10?" She said, "It's a seven." I said, "How did you hurt your arm?" She said, "I was driving, and I went off the side of the road, and I had an accident, and I hurt my arm." Had surgery, et cetera. Still the pain. It was in the right arm. I said, again, the most important question you can ask is, "What was going on in your life during that time period?" She said, "The day of the accident, actually, I was driving away from my boyfriend who just broke up with me." So what I did — I went to the memory of the breakup, how it had made her feel, the rejection about whatever happened. Then I went to the accident, what it felt like in the accident. And then I went to the surgery in her mind, the pain of the surgery. And when I got done, I said, "Hey, let's check your pain. How is your pain?" And she said, "It's not there." Now, why is it that? #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #SubconsciousMind #InnerWork #HealingJourney

Taking pain pills for an arm that isn't there. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.mn.co/plans/1872620 This guy came to see me. He went to the doctor. He's been taking pain pills for the arm that was blown off in the military. The arm that isn't there actually still hurts. So the doctor's giving him pain pills to deal with the pain of the arm that isn't there. Did you get that? He's taking pain pills for a non-existing arm, and the pain's still there. And if he doesn't take his pain pills, guess what happens? The pain is there. So we start addressing this. Now, here's the weirdness to our pain. Because pain in your body — whether it's in your neck, your foot, your shoulder, your leg, your arm — will represent something. It represents a value system. It represents how you see yourself and how you hold the world. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #SubconsciousMind #InnerWork #HealingJourney

Everyone talks about regulating your nervous system. Very few people tell you what actually keeps it dysregulated. Breathe deeper. Take magnesium. Meditate. Take a vacation. Those things can help. And then the TV rerun starts playing again. Your nervous system isn't broken. It's responding exactly the way it was programmed to respond. Learn more: skillstochange.mn.co/...paces/23484396 As you were growing up, your brain recorded everything. The yelling. The criticism. The unpredictability. The feeling that you had to be perfect. The feeling that you weren't safe. Your brain wasn't trying to hurt you. It was trying to help you survive. Years later somebody raises their voice. Somebody ignores your text. Somebody gives you that look. And your nervous system reacts as if the old danger is happening again. That's why people say, I know I'm safe, but my body doesn't. Of course it doesn't. Your conscious mind knows today. Your unconscious mind is still replaying yesterday. That's why coping only gets you so far. This is a song called Dancing to a New Song. Spoken verses, and a refrain that comes back three times. It's about why calming techniques work for a little while and then quit, and what changes when you stop working on the symptoms and go after the source. Find the memory. Update the memory. The body follows. You're not broken. You're just running a program. And programs can be changed. Ready to stop coping and start changing it at the root? Join us and learn how to update the memories your brain is still using to create fear, anxiety, and illness. When you change the programming, everything else begins to change too. 👉 [LINK] CHAPTERS 0:00 What actually keeps it dysregulated 0:00 Your brain recorded everything 0:00 I know I'm safe, but my body doesn't 0:00 Why coping only gets you so far 0:00 Find the memory.

She held the grief in her back for 40 years. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.mn.co/plans/1872620 She had this back pain for 40 years. She said, "Would this help?" I said, "I don't know. We can give it a go." I said, "Well, how'd you hurt your back?" She said, "I was holding a child. I slipped and fell and hit my bum." I said, "What else was going on in your life around that time?" She looked at me in a strange way. She goes, "No one's ever asked me that question." She goes, "That was when my father died." So here it is. She slipped and fell, maybe while feeling depressed about the death of her father, and this amazing mind has this great capacity to put things together and make them act like they're one. She slipped and fell, and her pain represented the pain and the hurt and the grief and the loss of a father that she's had held in her back for 40 years. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #SubconsciousMind #InnerWork #HealingJourney

She had tears right under the surface. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.mn.co/plans/1872620 Hillary said, "But I think I have something bigger that we'll address." I said, "What is it?" She says, "My mother and my father were divorcing, and I stood between them to protect my mother." Tears were almost there. So as I started addressing and tapping this style of EFT, a few minutes later, she says, "It doesn't bother me." I said, "Okay, well, let's check your back now." She goes, "It's gone." I go, "Why would it go when I deal with this? Why would the back pain go?" And I thought about that that night. So I called her. I said, "Hillary, was your father at the hospital?" She said, "Yes. That was the first time I saw him in 10 years after that experience that we addressed." So apparently, while she's being injected with the needle, she may have been thinking the wrong thing, and that pain in her back represented her father. So now she's carrying the pain of her father in her back. But this is not the first time I heard this story. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #SubconsciousMind #InnerWork #HealingJourney

The brain took these two pieces and became one. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.mn.co/plans/1872620 I said, "If this pain were a person, who would it be?" She said, "My father." And she didn't know why she said it was her father until I started asking the right questions. So we started addressing the memories and the death of her father, the grief and the loss of her father. Her pain went away. The next day, she came to the seminar, day two, and she said, "I had a really bizarre experience last night." I said, "Welcome. It happens often in these seminars." She said, "I wet the bed this morning, something I haven't done in 40 years. The last time I wet the bed was the night that I discovered my father died." So here it is. The brain took these two pieces, far, far away land with many, many years between, and became one. And when we address the memory of this, there's a shift in her body and her mind and her emotions. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #SubconsciousMind #InnerWork #HealingJourney

New information changes the memory. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.mn.co/plans/1872620 All of a sudden, your memory is now being adjusted. Big time. And it's being renewed. And then they show you videos and pictures — holding hands and walking, going to the park. All of a sudden, your memory about him has been shifted from good to bad. Now, how do people do that with bad memories? The exact same way. They go to a bad memory, and it's really bad. Well, first of all, it may not be bad. It may be normal for you. Then you start introducing new information into the memory, and then you ask really intelligent questions: "What did I do wrong? Why would they do that to me? What happens if they do it again? Will no one love me and not like me because of what happened?" So now you're adjusting the memories. By the way, this compounds the memory and makes it worse. Some of the people I've had the most opportunity and challenge with are the people who spend years in therapy, adding more, dumping onto a memory. Now your whole identity is messed up by dumping on a memory. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #SubconsciousMind #InnerWork #MemoryWork

The body does not keep the score. It's a servant, and I can prove it to you in twenty seconds without you leaving this page. Close your eyes and remember a good moment. Really be there. Notice what your body just did. You made that happen. Now do it with something that bothers you and watch your body follow again. That's the whole argument. Your body is not keeping a record. It's responding to what you took off the shelf of your mind. I'm Robert Gene. I've worked with well over 20,000 people in 27 years, and I've never once fixed anybody's body.

The shock of a panic attack in the airport, mirroring common symptoms. Discovering the learned patterns behind this intense fear and how to decode them. #robertgene #fastereft #PanicAttacks #AnxietyRelief #MentalWellness

It's in the brain. A learning, not a damage. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.mn.co/plans/1872620 You're adding the magic that makes it work, which you learned from me. Most people don't. It's basically what they call a pattern interrupt. You're feeling bad, you interrupt the pattern. You go over here and you drink something, you feel better. That's what most systems work off of. "It's the body doing it to me." My body is holding the trauma. It doesn't hold the trauma, it expresses the trauma. Where's the trauma at? It's in the brain. The brain creates it, builds a program to stay alive and to stay safe, which is a learning, not a damage. And therefore, it's gonna speak to the body. To save you a lot of time, is to go to the memory. Now, there's a lot of people who don't have recall of the memory. But if you incorporate and speak to and work with the brain to tell it to release it, adjust it, reveal it, let's shift it. There is a key to doing this. There's a real scientific approach to really update memories. You could do all of those things. You could do any of those things, and you can change memory if you do all the pieces. And it's the pieces that updates memory. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #NervousSystemRegulation #MemoryWork

Most people think nervous system regulation is about the vagus nerve. It isn't. You were never traumatized by what happened to you. You were traumatized by what your brain grabbed, internalized, translated, and groomed. I'm Robert Gene. I've worked with well over 20,000 people in 27 years. In this video I break down the actual mechanics of the mind, and why knowing the parts list won't change your life. Five people can live through the same event. One walks away fine. One has panic attacks for thirty years. Same event, same everything. The difference isn't what happened. It's what each brain built out of it, and the questions they kept asking afterward. WHAT'S IN THIS VIDEO • You have two amygdalae, not one, and they build a black Great Dane with white socks in under a second • Trauma is not a wound and not an injury. It's an education. • Post-traumatic stress DIRECTIVE, not disorder • Five people, same event, and why only one breaks • Grooming: why "what's wrong with me?" is not a harmless question • The intelligent idiot builds whatever you order, including what you didn't mean to order • Imprints and imprinted tunnels, and why the psychologists are wrong that they stop at age six • What happens to everything after your first love breaks your heart • The one thing that actually changes a life, and it's one word You're not broken. You're running a program. Programs are updatable. CHAPTERS 0:00 Most people think it's the vagus nerve 0:20 You have two amygdalae, not one 0:52 What is trauma, really? 1:18 Not a wound.

The solution becomes the problem. Then your world gets smaller. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.mn.co/plans/1872620 I feel bad, and I go over here. So you feel bad, and you go over here to eat, drink something, or exercise. Eventually, the more bad you have, and you keep running to the same thing, the bad begins to be the problem that you used to use as a solution. This becomes an addiction problem. You're allergic to it now. You can't go to it. And then your world starts getting smaller, smaller, and smaller. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #NervousSystemRegulation #InnerWork

A panic attack at the airport that felt like a heart attack. No medical cause. No heart problem. Just two old memories sitting on the shelf in his brain — waiting for the right trigger. Robert Gene Smith shares his own story and what it reveals about how panic attacks actually work. 🎥 Find out what's on your shelf — free course here: skillstochange.mn.co/plans/1872620 #panicattack #mentalhealthtips #vagusnerve #traumahealing eutaptics® FasterEFT™ | trauma, anxiety, PTSD, emotional pain, physical healing I'll show you how to change the root cause, not just manage the symptoms. I'm Robert Gene Smith, creator of eutaptics® FasterEFT™ and founder of Skills to Change Institute. For over 25 years I've worked with thousands of people worldwide who were stuck in pain their doctors couldn't fix, their therapists couldn't reach, and their willpower couldn't move. What I teach is not positive thinking. It is not talk therapy. It is a process that goes directly to the memory structures running your life, and changes them.

It's not what happened to you. It's what your brain created. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.mn.co/plans/1872620 Trauma is an education, and your brain will take what happened and internalize it. So even though you had a bad experience, the experience didn't screw you up — and that's the big problem. We think it screwed us up. Gabor Maté says it's a wound, an injury to the brain. And it's not. It's an education. The brain will internalize what it witnessed. So it gives meaning to it. It creates a story, creates a feeling, creates a survival system. So it's not what happened to you that gives you panic attacks, freeze, fright, et cetera, but rather what your brain created because of the event. They didn't screw you up. But what your brain kept, internalized, your brain utilized — and now you think you're broken. You just had an experience. You've been educated in the world. It's not a good education, and now your brain is trying to give you panic attacks, anxiety, and fear because you've had bad experiences, not so good experiences. Consciously, we know it's not good. It's a bad experience. That's our consciousness. But to the unconscious, it's just an experience. We're gonna internalize it. We're gonna use it to keep you safe. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #SubconsciousMind #InnerWork #HealingWork

Your brain doesn't think panic attacks are a bad thing. It's doing exactly what it was trained to do — protect you based on something that happened in the past. Robert Gene Smith explains why your brain links old memories to today's triggers, and what that means for healing. 🎥 Start updating those memories — free course here: skillstochange.mn.co/plans/1872620 #panicattack #anxietyhelp #nervoussystem #subconsciousmind #nervoussystemregulation eutaptics® FasterEFT™ | trauma, anxiety, PTSD, emotional pain, physical healing I'll show you how to change the root cause, not just manage the symptoms.

If you don't do the grunt work, you don't get changes. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.mn.co/plans/1872620 Whatever your belief system is, it's fine. There's no judgment on it. But I will say this: changes are in the grunt work. If you don't do the grunt work, you don't get changes. So when you have somebody who has feelings, and you can address feelings, memories do show up. There are people who don't have the feelings. They do have the feeling of no feeling, which is also a feeling of nothingness — which is also what we call a block or a wall that they're afraid to go past because of what did happen. A lot of people have had early childhood traumas, car accidents, surgeries. They go numb and dumb. They wake up, it's a different world. And they don't remember. It's like a little kid — a little kid falls down, gets hurt, they shake it off, they get up, playing and running again the next minute. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #SubconsciousMind #InnerWork #HealingWork

Somatic work can shift how you feel in the moment — so can cheesecake. But if you're not changing the cause, you'll be doing it forever. Robert Gene Smith breaks down what's actually driving your anxiety and where the real work happens. 🎥 Start getting to the cause — free course here: skillstochange.mn.co/plans/1872620 #somatichealing #anxietyhelp #traumahealing #mentalhealth #nervoussystemregulation eutaptics® FasterEFT™ | trauma, anxiety, PTSD, emotional pain, physical healing I'll show you how to change the root cause, not just manage the symptoms.

There is a science to updating memory. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.mn.co/plans/1872620 You have to now work with the therapy, or what they learned in therapy as well. Because they built an identity based on a label or an experience that they had. Now, there is a science to updating memory. It's a bad/good collapse. It's introducing new stuff into it to be able to shift it. But the brain captures memories, and I call this process defractionation. It's an operating system with a defrac in the middle of it. The defrac is a pattern interrupt, but it fits within the defractionation process. It means you have a problem, you know the problem, you identify the problem, you know it's there, and then you come in, out, in, out, in, out, update, update, rewrite, update — and then you have a total different memory when you're done. We've had a lot of people who have come to my system who tried everything, they said. Nothing worked, but this did. And the reason why it works is because it's mechanics. It's understanding what, where, why, and how. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #NervousSystemRegulation #MemoryWork #InnerWork

Your body isn't holding your trauma — it's expressing it. The brain is the stereo, the body is the speaker.

Calming yourself isn't the same as healing yourself. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.mn.co/plans/1872620 If you are using vagal exercises to calm yourself, there's a benefit of calming yourself. Nothing wrong with that. You need to calm yourself. But if you take the calm and you go to the memory and update the cause — which most people don't know what the cause is. They probably do, but they won't get close to it because they don't know how to deal with it. It's part of your system. It's not just tapping. There's also the body tapping, or moving around, different somatic pieces you've added into your system. But it just organizes it so perfectly. I can't tell you how I went from training in NLP and then EFT. I took all these different systems, and then I go to this system, and I'm like, "This is everything put together in one." And it's practical and it's logical. You can replicate it, and it's not taking a long time. You don't wanna spend all your life in therapy. There's so many people, 15 years, 20 years, "I've been working on this same problem" — and the belief system, and the identity that they've built from the therapy. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #NervousSystemRegulation #NervousSystemReset #MemoryWork

If you're not changing memories, you're just changing states. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.mn.co/plans/1872620 15 years of doing somatic work. Shake-a-leg syndrome. TRE. Beating furniture. Primal screaming. Rebirthing therapies. If they're not changing memories, you're just changing states. Working drug rehab, I asked them several questions. "Are you addicted?" "Yeah." "Why do you use drugs?" They said, "I just wanna feel better. I don't like how I think. I'm trying to quiet my mind. I'm trying to feel better. I wanna escape what's going on in my head." So there's no difference than someone using drugs. Some people are extremely ill. They've had some pretty bad experiences, and their experiences are written on the cells of their brain, and it makes it feel real in the body. So you'll be talking about this forever, and you'll be shaking your leg, shaking your body. You'll be doing somatic practices, and you will feel better, because there could be a colliding — what we call a bad-good collapse — if you continue. But if it's still going on after 15 years, go to the guy with the matches in his hand, saying, "Go with the memories and address the memories." And you know what? When I say that, they say, "No, thank you. I don't wanna go there." So therefore they're saying, "I'm gonna keep it. It's my reality. It's my value." And then they'll teach classes teaching people how to stay with it, endure it, and handle it — not change it. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #NervousSystemRegulation #HealingTok

Tomorrow I'm running two free tap-along sessions and you're invited to either one.

The knee that's hurt for eleven years. The person you can't stop replaying. The thing you keep saying you'll deal with next month. We'll tap on it together, live. Here's what I've learned in thirty years of this work: you're not broken, you're just running a program. Patty cried 365 days a year until we cleared what was underneath it. Erik lost his dog Murray at age five and stacked a lifetime of losses on top of that imprint. Ronnie came to me in a wheelchair in Ireland and was dancing in Greece a few months later. Same mechanic every time. Find the memory, change the memory, the body follows. You'll tap along with me from wherever you're sitting. That's it. Most people feel something shift inside the first fifteen minutes, and the bothersome thing you show up with is the exact thing that's going to teach you the most. Grab your spot here: skillstochange.mn.co/plans/1982109 Send this to one person who needs it. Watching someone else get free is its own kind of medicine, and you'll both get more out of it. See you there.

Your vagus nerve is not the problem. It's a neutral system, and it only sends what your brain hands it. I was standing in an airport a while back and I thought I was having a heart attack. Heart pounding through my chest. Nothing was wrong with my heart. Something was on the shelf. I'm Robert Gene. I've worked with well over 20,000 people in 27 years, including twelve years in drug rehabs in Ireland and Hawaii, which is the mecca for the worst trauma you can imagine. In this video, I show you the actual mechanics and why calming your nervous system is not the same thing as changing it. WHAT'S IN THIS VIDEO • Your brain as an operating system: the cook, and what's on the shelf • Why the vagus nerve is neutral, and sends love and joy down the same wire it sends panic • The intelligent idiot and the faithful servant, and why a panic attack is protection • The airport, and the two events my brain filed away without telling me • Why talking about it gives you awareness and changes nothing • Somatic practice shifts how you feel in the moment. So does cheesecake. • Trauma is not stored in the body. It's expressed to the body. • Your brain is the stereo. Your body is the speaker. Your body is innocent. Your brain is doing exactly what it was built to do. The problem is what's on the shelf, and the shelf is updatable.

If inside of you, you have lots of resources of feeling like crap, blaming yourself, you're guilty, you're a bad person, it's all your fault — create the pretty picture, but when life hits you in the face, you're gonna go to whichever is the best coping skill internalized. If it's the bad one, you'll feel bad forever. Unless you update it. 'Cause remember, the brain is designed for survival. The pain drives you more than the positive. Unless you dissipate the pain to where it's not there, you'll make wiser decisions. I started doing this work in 1999, and I had people come in and they're depressed. "How do you know you're depressed?" "Well, I just feel bad." "Do you have any good reasons why you should be depressed?" "Oh yeah, lots of reasons." "Do you have any positive memories?" "Well, yeah, I think there's gotta be something in here." So in their mind, they keep all the negative close. They practice it every day. When they wake up, they look for it. When they go somewhere, they look for it. So they're building an identity and a world based on their internalizations. You cannot run from the bad, because the bad's inside you. You gotta dismantle it, update it, and change it. And then we need to practice the other. We dismantle that, and we do the happy journal, or the manifestation journal. We do the exact same thing we used to do with the bad stuff. Something good happened, you notice it, you identify it, you replay it, you rehearse it. Collect them. Then your life will reflect whichever one you feed the most. This is the power of neuroplasticity and cleaning up your head. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #SubconsciousMind #NervousSystemRegulation #InnerWork #HealingWork

Tapping alone won't solve your problems — and here's why. The real issue isn't your energy. It's how you've internalized your world and the memories driving your responses.

It's not your energy that needs fixing. It's the memories and programming running underneath.

You shuffle through good people to find the one who hurts you. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.mn.co/plans/1872620 Relationships really truly are a gift, because they show us. They reflect back to us our stuff. They stir up our inner world. And again, we pick from what we're familiar with. We pick what we know. You think about it — you gotta shuffle through a lot of good people to find the perfect one that's gonna make you feel like crap, that you've always known your whole life. Someone would say, "I come from a dysfunctional family." And I say, "You didn't come from a dysfunctional family. It functioned so well you left home, you found another one just like it." Or you created it. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #SubconsciousMind #InnerWork #HealingWork

Calming your body isn't healing the cause. 👉 Free Course: skillstochange.mn.co/plans/1872620 Vagus nerves are like resets. There's tools now available. Do they work? They could — only if they're doing it in a precise way, to updating and changing why. Most people who are in the vagus nerve, the somatic work, want to calm the body. So their focus is changing the body, shifting how they feel. That will not change memory. The body is an auto-responder to internal representations in the brain. There are some key points to updating memory, and they're precise points. But putting on a device to relax your vagus nerve isn't one of them. There's no difference in doing that than drinking a bottle of Jack Daniels, or drinking tea, or eating a nice, delicious cake, or getting the satisfaction of cleaning the house. It really becomes an escapism. Escaping the cause. Because the body's reactions are like little fires, little upsetting points, and you notice a fire, and you wanna go put it out by doing some exercise. Which does seemingly put the fire out currently. You're shifting your state of being, shifting how you feel, diverting your attention, putting out the anxiety, whatever this is. But it still doesn't change the guy with the matches in his hand who's starting all the fires in your body. #eutaptics #FasterEFT #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange #RobertGeneSmith #SkillsToChange
