Is your boss a bully? Do this 2 min EFT for stress reduction [VIDEO]

As an executive coach, I help smart women who hate office politics get promoted and better paid without throwing anyone under the bus. 

And let’s face it, sometimes that stress you have at work is not because you’re dealing with garden-variety office politics; it’s because you’re working for a bully. 

Some of these bullies are just plain jerks and a-holes.

If you work for such a person, my heart goes out to you, and I invite you to try this simple and powerful technique for stress reduction called Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). 

Numerous clinical research has shown EFT to be an effective and evidence-based practice for treating anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). 

If EFT can help war veterans with PTSD, it can help you reduce your stress dealing with a bully at work. 

So watch this 2 minute demo and give it a try. 

In case you’re in a place where you wouldn’t want to be playing a video and you prefer to keep reading, here’s the full transcript with instructions: 

[TRANSCRIPT STARTS] 

You’re going to start by tapping the very top of your head with the tips of your three fingers. And just repeat after me: Even though I work with an a-hole, who is a total jerk, I completely accept and honor myself just as I am. 

And now you're going to tap right here, the third eye between your two eyebrows. And again, repeat after me: Even though I feel frustrated, bothered angry about what had happened at work, I choose to be kind to myself.

And now you’re going to tap the side of your eye. Again, repeat after me: Even though I’m very frustrated with the hot pieces of trash I have to work with, I choose to be kind to myself. 

And now tap underneath your eye where you can feel that bone. And again: Even though I feel angry, stressed, frustrated, and resentful, I acknowledge I am human, and I allow myself to feel what I feel. 

And now you’re going to take your fingertips and you’re going to tap where you can feel your breastbone and again, repeat after me: I release and I let this go. 

And now you’re going to grab your wrist and inhale. Exhale twice as long and say: I release and let this go. 

So try it one more time. 

You’re going to tap here (points to top of head).

You’re going to tap your third eye.

You’re going to tap your side of the eye.

You’re going to tap right here underneath your eye.

You’re going to tap where you can feel that breastbone.

Then you’re going to grab your wrist, inhale, and exhale twice as long.

And if you want the super speedy version, you’re going to do this (points to top of head), this (points to the space between the eyebrows), this (points to side of the eye), this (points to underneath the eye), this (points to breastbone), and this (grabs one wrist), as you simply repeat: 

I release and let this go. 

Try it out. See how you feel at the end of it. And if you’re not feeling a shift, try one more time. Do the whole thing all over again, or use the words that feel right for you.

Tired of feeling stuck and undervalued because of workplace bullying?

It’s time to turn the page.

Let me guide you through navigating office politics with integrity, building both nervous system capacity and sturdy self-confidence, so you can advocate for the recognition and compensation you deserve while centered and rooted in your value. 

Together, we’ll create a strategy that not only addresses your current challenges but also propels you forward in the direction of greater joy and fulfilling growth.

Here are three kickers to the career growth my clients generate: 

• 95% of clients report feeling calmer, more grounded and clearer about how to be advocate and move forward in their careers within the first three sessions 

• They increasingly approach career challenges from a place of strength, because they have the brain and nervous system capacity to bounce back from setbacks, instead of spinning out or getting stuck in freeze, flight, or fight mode 

• Which all contributes to the capacity to lead, manage, negotiate and influence people up, down, and across the org with LESS overthinking and MORE coherent, confident communication plans
