Hello everyone,

I am very very new at this and so I have a lot
to learn and in some ways dont know where to begin. Right now I am at
the stage of watching Robert's videos and have not really begun to tap
as I feel I need some one on one instruction, but I know I will give it a
try on my own as I really have a sense that this holds so much
potential. That being said, I already know that there is a HUGE area
that need to work on and heal and this is self-forgiveness.

I see
over and over where people are tapping and releasing as a result of
events that have happened TO them, but I have yet to see a video example
of someone working through forgiveness of self for wrongs they did to
others. For me this feels like my biggest issue, working through all the
pain and hurt I have caused others, over and over in a cycle that just
never seems to stop. The results of such destructive behavior in
addition to the pain I have caused others is the self-remorse, shame,
self-hatred I inflict on myself, over and over internally, and which
never goes away, never far under the surface.

Part of what I know I need to learn is to target properly and I
feel insecure in how to do that effectively, because I know that unless I
do that well, it will take longer to heal. And with time and patience and hard work I hope I can identify the causes and the reasons for my behavior. With an issue like self-forgiveness I am finding it difficult to identify what I would need to tap on, would it be the feelings I have when I think of myself?

I am such a newbie at this, but eager to hear any suggestions and advice others may have so that I can get to work on my "stuff".

Many thanks,

Tony
