Pain Relief

Have You Ever Felt Like You Didn’t Fit In?

Written by: Nick Ortner

Have you ever felt like you didn’t fit in? Or that you weren’t enough?

Maybe you felt rejected by your mother, father, or other family member, by friends or even by complete strangers, and felt the hurt of that deep inside?

If so, (and if not, I may be writing this post to a being from another planet!) I want to share an extremely moving and powerful video with you that was filmed during one of our Tapping Experience live events. In this video, you’ll get to watch and tap along as I work with Joanne on stage.

Joanne, like all of the other participants, came to get relief from physical pain. But as you’ll see in the video, whenever we tap on any issue, whether it be physical pain, weight, finances, relationships, or anything else, the core of the issues tend to go much deeper than just one topic.

Before you watch the video, I have two warnings for you:

#1 – This video is very moving, so have a tissue box ready. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house at the event during this, especially with what happens at the end. I won’t spoil what happens – you’ll want to see this for yourself.

#2 – I know that some people are offended by strong language. There is one point in the clip where both Joanne and I swear, not just for the sake of it, but with a very specific purpose as you’ll see. I just thought I would warn you so that you are prepared and not offended (and in case kids are in the room!). 🙂

Click on the video below to watch now. And after you watch, please leave your comments of support for Joanne and what insights you gained from watching this. She was extremely courageous for getting up on stage and sharing her story. I hope that her courage inspires you as well.

If you’d like some relief from pain (both physical and emotional) then I highly recommend you check out our Tapping Solution App!

With over 150 meditations to choose from across 15 different categories (and counting!), there’s something in there for everyone. 🙂

Until next time…

Keep Tapping!

    And just imagine her father meant absolutely nothing by his actions, they were literally THOUGHT LESS. Just this image and the picture had an unimaginably huge impact on her life, FOREVER!
    This is what our thoughts do to us!

    Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!!!! Tapping opened a new dimension of what truly holds one back. Memories of childhood hurts… not knowing… not feeling good enough has plagued me all my life.. not knowing… now I know!!! Thank you:} P.S. I love smiley’s too!! :} :} :]:]

    Thank you Joanne for being brave enough to open up yourself and face your dragons in front of everyone. You have helped me immensely by what you have done, and I’m sure many other people too. God bless you. And you too Nick.

  9. Em says:

    Well done Joanne! Thank you so much for sharing your pain, which indeed brought up painful memories for me. Thank you Nick, I was able to tap along with you and Joanne and feel the proverbial “pinkie toe” and what it had to say for me! Many thanks again Nick for bringing this video into my life.

  10. Theresa says:

    Thank you Joanne
    I am having a similar issue that has cropped up again. I think many of us have been hurt unintentionally or intentionally hurt by adults in our life and not sure how to rid ourselves of these feelings. So thank you for sharing, you are a help to those of us who need this guidance to move on.

  11. Darina says:

    Wow! I think it takes a lot of courage to say how we really feel.

  12. Teresa says:

    So deeply inspiring. Joanne you have courage and are so gutsy to stand
    in front of all those people and open yourself up, allow others to see
    and feel your pain, and then begin to let it go. I saw the deep breaths
    you took, and the beautiful, beautiful tango dance with Alex. Nick was
    your first partner who danced with you and your pain, Alex was the next
    who shared the dance of your spirit. And we, dear heart, continue to dance
    with you. It is a honor.

    Mr. Nick Ur such a wonderful gift 2 persons w/Ur Tapping abilities. Watching this has given me hope on some issues that have shadowed my life. I do not know how yet 2 let them truly go or even how 2 start. Watching this young lady put herself out there and feeling the strength of the other persons in the room w/her was just a very fabtabulous(my word :0])feeling. Ur a wonderful person and Ur brother is a very good Tango dancer also. Much more success 2 U and Urs. I want 2 learn more about Tapping 4 those issues. When I get a job and some spare monies, I want 2 purchase whatever I can from U about Tapping.

    Aloha

    WOW Joanne! Great work! I was tapping right along with/for you, and I even feel better! (Had the same kind of dad, apparently.)

    Thank you, Nick, and , and God bless you ALL!

  17. Miriam says:

    Dear Joanne,
    Thanks for sharing, you´re so brave! And was beautiful to see you dance.YOU ARE SÓ WORTH IT!! I also had a father that gave me the feeling i´m worth nothing. Unfortunaly i blocked all my memories from the past and don´t seem to be able to help myself.Thankfully i can help other people here in Portugal with EFT. I learn a lot from Nick, he´s great! Hopefully one day i can go to America and meet him, so that he can help me with my pain and show me how to get rid of my bad feeling. I also don´t fit in and have lots of pain in my back,shoulders and knees.Watching you made me cry and reminded me of myself a lot. Thanks again for sharing you lovely woman. My heart is with you. Love from Portugal! x Miriam

  18. Helen says:

    What a wonderful transformation for Joanne from an angry, hurt, lonely woman to a blossoming lady. She is a courageous person. Kudoes to her!
    A heartwarming video that hit home with me bringing up similar feelings.
    Thank-you Joanne for your courage.

  19. Mel says:

    WOW what a wonderful example of how childhood beliefs and fears can affect your life and shape your reality. This clearly shows how powerful our thoughts really are.
    The personal transformation when the emotional issues are identified and released is so liberating. Wonderful video.

  20. Cindy says:

    Congrats to Joanne for facing her fears and having the courage to do it on stage in front of others. Her problems resonated with me and it made me cry for my own limiting beliefs caused by rejection and bad treatment from others, especially my own mother and father. This was a life changing experience for her and I hope for myself. My heartfelt thanks to Nick for all you do and all you give. Your insight, kindness, caring and empathy are qualities of a true leader and are an inspiration to me. Your thoughtfulness to ask Alex to dance with Joanne was touching and his willingness in doing so was fantastic. You are both exceptional human beings who must make your parents, families and all who know and love you proud, s I know I do and I don’t physically know either of you. Well done to all involved and thank you for allowing us to see such an impactful video.

  21. Marilyn says:

    I began just watching and was drawn in to “my story”. Thank you both for the great gift and opening you gave me. Namaste Marilhyn

    Hi Joanne and the tapping team,I stopped watching tapping for some 6 – 9months now my reasons were that I work on it on my own and I just lost the want to continue. Tonight I decided to watch your video joanne and all the way through I kept going over my own life, I swear you were peeking through my window from the past. I love dancing and singing and I am 65years old now, still loving dancing and singing soooo much. As I tapped with you this evening, I felt for you and myself, I still sing alot only in private though. One day I will dance again. congatulatins for your success, present and future. and thank you for the inspiration I gained from the oopportunity of thinking,seeing,feeling and being part of it. From New Zealand Arohanui (eternal love).

  23. Helen says:

    Thank you so much Nick for continuing to send me e-mails. This one with Joanne’s story/video has meant so much to me. I’m going through a very painful time right now and to see and hear Joanne’s story has brought me to shed many tears and release some of the stored emotions which are causing a lot of physical pain. Thank you so much Joanne for your courage in telling us all your story…you are helping not only yourself, but many people all over the world…I am encouraged to keep on tapping to find my way out of all of the issues and pain I’ve been feeling for some time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart….much love to you all…Helen.

  24. Penny says:

    thank you Joanne for being so brave to sharing your story, I see so much of myself in what you described. Also thanks to Nick and Alex… it’s been an awesome video… I know there is help for me as well.:)

  25. Bev Nerenberg says:

    Dear Joanne, You are making a huge contribution to everyone who watches this. Your vulnerability, openness, honesty, and grace are so inspiring and beautiful. Thank you for being willing to do that, especially through all your terror. The dance was the icing on the cake. Bless you. Nick and Alex – great job!

  26. o.m. says:

    How inspiring! Joanne, it was so amazing to hear the gradual strengthening and increasing clarity in your voice from step to step. Just the guts to share such a personal process with so many is a beautiful indication of how strong and worthy you really are! As for Nick – you are so creative in your tapping guidance. I learned a lot. Thanks!!

  27. Lorna in BC says:

    An amazing transformation…from sad, isolated, scared, uncertain to love, beauty, ‘bright eyed- all encompassing’ acceptance of what was and what is. I feel like I witnessed the many spheres and shades of truth we all live with, revealed for what they are incidents, perception and emotion…and further we can identify, revisit, reshape and transcend it all like a time traveller.
    What is more amazing is how momentary incidents can shape and control our lives for years left unchecked.
    The spiritual transformation is stunning!

  28. Ellen says:

    Dear Joann — Thanks for being brave and sharing the wounded heart and soul of a young, shy girl. You are such a beautiful individual I hope the rest of your life rewards you for being open to others.

  29. Valerie says:

    Dear Joanne! I like you immensely and you are so worth it! I hope this process has helped you know this too. What I see is a courgeous, special, vibrant, insightful and incredibly inspirational woman. Thank you!

  30. Penelope says:

    Joanne you spoke for so many who silently suffer.
    Blessings to you and to Nick for showing the way to heal.

  31. NANDKISHORE says:

  32. Geraldine says:

    Dear Joanne, well done girlfriend! You have unleashed the power within! Nick, what can I say…….words cannot express……..thank you for being you and may you go from strength to strength, I feel so blessed to have found you! Alex, any chance of a dancing lesson….?

  33. Candy Watson says:

    Nick, I am impressed by your gentle compassionate nature. Thank you for sharing your journey.
    Joanne, I felt as if you caught an ocean wave the minute you told your daughter you would raise your hand. It amazes me how a part of us always seeks healing and I am so happy for you that you were swept along on that ride.

  34. Jill says:

    Thankyou, that truely was beautiful. What a gift yo gave this lady. I am impressed with both Nick and his brother Alex, and am not easily impressed.

  35. Claude Salerno says:

    I thoroughly enjoyed this session. Nick, you were so gentle in guiding her, helping her to bare her heart and all her suffering. Joanne, it was hard to open yourself up, but you helped a lot of us with similar problems, and now you know that you ARE WORTH it. It was very touching to watch you dance with Alex.
    Keep your head up and thank you all for your part in this exercise.

    Joanne and Nick,
    Thank you so very much Joanne for letting me into your pain and the beginning of your new journey, the reality of knowing you can see this through. I know by watching your experience that I also can have a reality and a new journey by learning this tapping solution. Nick I hope someday or somehow you can find it in your busy time to come to Pittsburgh,PA. I Paula would be first with my hand raised higher than I ever thought it would go and join you on stage. Thanks to you both!!! God Bless. Paula

    Thank you Joanne, for your courage & honesty in sharing an emotion & memory that is sadly familiar — & thankyou Nick for your empathy, kindness & support. So inspiring from you both & gives me some hope to continue with my work.

  47. marian says:

    This is one of the most moving video I have ever see. Compassionate, encouraging, and extremely uplifting.

    Well done Nick, I would tap with u any time

  48. Kevin says:

    Well done for stepping up, Joanne! Your story and mine are carbon copies – older brother treated more favorably, dad never home for my birthday, or for my sporting events…..my baby toe was shouting out FU before it even came up on the video!! A flurry of tears, frustration and anger…….and then relief….Thank you Joanne for your courage!!

  49. Leela says:

    Very powerful. I tapped and cried my way through.

    Joanne, I appreciate your ability to open up and let us in. Your willingness to share your pain with us is inspirational. After this session, I notice feelings of relief and the ability to begin to relax the tension in my body that has been overwhelming me recently at times, from my struggles with similar issues.

    Nick, thank you as always for your guidance, assistance, and for making the video available for us to learn.

  50. Corinne says:

    Thank you both so much for this wonderful video. I found that girl living deep inside of me and needing to get out.
