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!

Nick Ortner

    I shared her feelings, I started tapping on some old issues, even from “previous lifes”… I have problems with my right hand since my son’s birth and I think it hurts so much ‘se I do not feel good enough as a mother, and I keep punishing the hand that is not “right” enough..
    I tapped and now I feel as some energy flow is going back into the finger tips, giving new linfa, new nutrients to my cells.
    I know I still have something to clear, but I have hope now!

    Thanks,
    Gabriella

    Very brave lady!!! I had a similar situation with my Dad…very emotionally unavailable! I have done release work on this, but had never tapped on it until now. It felt freeing, but I feel there are more layers to tap on.

  3. Tami Brown says:

    Thank you very much for sharing this huge experience with us, as it actually made me even shake and of course cry! This has been such a huge help to me to figure out for myself where to even begin with my own very similar heartache with my parents!!
    Thank you so very much, and YES! You will dance very very soon! So very touching and deeply encouraging!!!

  4. Sally says:

    Thanks for sharing this with us. Joanne, you’re truly a courageous and inspirational person.

  5. Richard Shaw says:

    Wow that was moving, You were right I needed some tissues, I hope Joanne is getting their now through EFT tapping. I had similar things when I was younger my Father was strict and if I did anything wrong he would take off his belt and leather me, My Mother was the same too, Their were three of us my younger brother and elder sister. they never seamed to get into bother, my Dad never said he loved me! but they have passed away now, my Mum turned my brother and sister against me and when she died my sister said I would be the last one to no where and when the funeral would be. I still haven’t got over it (Blocks) I saw my sister in may this year and she just walked on by not a word from her.

    Regards Richard Shaw.

  6. Gloria says:

    You are so courageous! What a blessing to have shared in your process. I am moved to tears. In your sharing, I feel it is possible to heal and let go of my past hurts and scripts. Thank you and Nick, you are a blessing.

  7. sue says:

    Bless you Joanne. Such a difficult thing, to open up and be vulnerable like that. Congratulations. You faced your demons and won. You are a beautiful woman. Dance your tush off girl!

  8. Elizabeth Delgado Rueda says:

Me recuerdas mucho de mi mama, mi mama a sufrido mucho en su vida. La quiero mucho espero compartir “tapping” con ella- muy pronto. Gracias!!!!!

  9. J. Cecilia says:

    Joanne, your performance was amazing, I know it was not easy to struggle with guilt and anger. Keep on tapping, forgiving, releasing and working out to heal your beloved and blessed inner child inside of you.

    Blessings

  10. Carolyn says:

    Joanne…..you go girl! Keep tapping! You did great!

  11. Rebecca says:

    Nick this was awesome to watch !! Joanne your going to be fine I can see the fire back in your eyes keep up the good work. what a transformation in you from beginning to end . Nick I am very very interested in learning this better and teaching it do you offer such classes?

  12. Marilee Harrison says:

    Holy cow! I tapped with the video. I had tears running down my face the whole time (both sad and happy). So moving.

  13. Maryna says:

    Dear Nick, I cried my heart out as I tapped along. It could have been me on that stage – the experience and the pain and the lack of self worth. This video is a great help and I will refer back to it frequently Thank you Maryna

  14. Genevieve says:

    This reminded me of some of my own issues. It’s inspirational to me to see your bravery, courage and willingness to confront and release that kind of deep rooted pain. I saw a woman, traumatized by her past, hiding behind her hair, pain etched on her face, to an amazing, confident, beautiful woman who knows where she is going. You have always been that amazing, confident, beautiful woman. You just had to let go of that hurt you’ve carried for so long so we (and you) could all behold what gifts you have for the world. I know that you will go far in your endeavors. Thank you for being brave enough to show that transformation is possible!

  15. Suzie Alexander says:

    Joanne..what an amazing and inspiring experience you gave us all. Thank you!!!
    I belong to a tango community in Portland, Oregon. How I would love to pass this video on.
    And on some level, I think it will happen!

    Nick, I hope to see you in person in the coming year. I have watched many of your videos and Jessica’s. Sending much love, light & gratitude!

    As for Alex….would love to dance a Vals with you…:-)

  16. Verena says:

    I was deeply touched by this video – thank you sharing it. Love, Verena

  17. Pam says:

    I even noticed a change in her physically. She looked more radiant and less weary. Amazing.

  18. Maryann Guinta says:

    SO POWERFUL ! ! ! Many thanks to Joanne for her courage – both for facing her own pain and for sharing it with us, for modeling how to release our painful experiences.
    Nick, I so appreciate your ability and willingness to guide us through our dark moments so we can join you in the Light.
    Many blessings to you both. And more dancing, Joanne! : )
    Maryann

  20. You did great along with Nick and dancing with Alex. says:

    This was truly inspirational to watch you, Nick, Alex, and everyone there. Congratulations!

  21. Geneveive Reid says:

    Dear Joanne,

    I’ve walked, step by step, with you through your pain, for the 3rd time now. It’s been very healing & great peace has descended upon me.

    Congratulations on moving us all with your raw honesty, genuine emotion & your Tango with Alex.

    I’m very happy for you this process was transformative & healing. You have also helped bring me substantial healing, just by tapping along with you through your pain & your first Tango of many to come.

    With love + prayers,

    Geneveive Reid

  22. Sushma says:

    Yes, I agree we live with so many memories which we are not even conscious of, and some how they keep affecting us. Watching the video I felt it will feel good to bring old hurt to the core, through this technique. Thank you!

  23. Geneveive Reid says:

    Dear Joanne,

    Thank you for your enormous courage.

    You have helped me walk through your pain with you & begin to bring healing to my own deep-seated pain.

    Nick, thank you for your compassion, insight + wisdom; you’re a great healer. I know, if I persist with EFT, I will break through the raw heartbrake I feel now, from peeling off the layers of my subconscious mind, step by step, + become healed in a much deeper way than I ever thought possible.

    With love + prayers,

    Geneveive Reid

  24. Valencia says:

    I have covered up a lot of hurt that I should uncover and deal with rather than pretending I don’t hurt deep down inside.

  25. Carol says:

    Well done, you are a wonderfully brave and inspirational lady. Wishing you loads of happiness and dancing.

  26. Sheila Neilsen says:

    Good luck tp Joanne, I cried throw the entire tepe, I understand Joanne very well not being able
    to DANCE OR EVEN WALK WITHOUT FALLING is certainly wonderful.
    MY objective is to walk, and then Dance a little. You see, I was diagnose with Ataxia, in Dec.
    I would be very satisfied as JOANNE to know that this is can be done.

  27. Sheila says:

    Joanne, you are an inspiration to all. I felt your pain since I had a similar situation and feeling. I tapped along with you. You showed much courage. We’re here to support you.

  28. Teirrah says:

    I don’t often tear up when I am with my computer but today Joanne’s pain hurt. She has lived with this for long and it was obvious she has dealt this for a long time. Her vocabulary and terms of expression were thoughtful and well chosen. She is a remnder to us all to continue to dream and forge ahead because each person has “specail” qualities and that deserve to be noticed and developed.
    Congratualtions Joanne and keep dancing in everything you do!

  29. Jasmina says:

    Thank you Joanne for the courage to share your story with all of us, and thank you Nick for the amazing EFT work that has helped not only Joanne, but many of us around the world to deal with similar issues. Wish you both continued success.

  30. karen whitney says:

    Thank you, Joanne, for being a mirror for me. I am also a middle child who didn’t get picked! Not every day, but one special day when I thought my Dad was leaving us for good, and he took my sister with him. Thank you for being brave enough and good enough! I admire the courage it took to open yourself for healing. I can use this session to tap along because Nick’s guidance is pertinent to me as well. I didn’t realize before that there was anger. So thank you, Nick. I must say that you, Joanne, look younger and prettier now that you and your pinkie have released and forgiven. God bless you as you continue to release. Blessings! Karen

  31. bella says:

    Thanks Nick and family.Being so Compassionate,putting us in contact with our feelings and practicing forgiveness is showing us there is hope in finding real happiness.

  32. Teresa says:

    Thank you Nick for this video. Not only does it relate to my issues growing up with my mother, but when you brother asked the lady to dance I just started to cry. You are so compassionate and that makes it, by far, the best EFT session I have watched online ever….and I have watched many. You, and your brother and sister are wonderful. Keep up the good work and I hope one day I can attend one of your live seminar after I get over my social phobia. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

  33. Maria says:

    Joanne, Alex and Nick you are all wonderful. One has to admire you Nick for your work and
    the tango you performed,Joanne and Alex, was outstanding. One could so very well fee Joanne´s emotion. I cried!

  34. Sherry says:

    Hi Joanne, How Brave You Were and ARE! Even though you wanted to run away and hide and stop doing the tapping and facing the emotions, fears, anger, YOU DID IT! Yes, you had help with Nick being the awesome person he is and with his expertise in EFT…BUT, YOU DID IT! You stood up to all those emotions and YOU WON!!! God Bless you in all things.

    Hey Nick, you are growing and growing in your abilities and I thank you for sharing this with all of us! God Bless you in all things.

    Hey Al, thank you for caring enough to be willing to help Joanne and dance on stage in front of everyone and help her WIN! God Bless you in all things.

    Thank you all and God Bless!

    Sincerely,

    Sherry 🙂

  35. Johanna van Hoorn says:

    Was clearing out my inbox and found this from earlier when I didn’t have the time to watch.
    Very precious. Thank you so much for sending this.

  36. jane says:

    A really powerful video. It was amazing to see the transformation from being hesitant, nervous and low spirited to confident, out going and happy. An inspirational change. I hope Joanne you have many happy years feeling knowing that you are a wonderful person and enjoying every aspect of life. Dance girl, dance!

  37. Catherine Bonifant says:

    Definitely needed the tissues! Joanne, as I watched I kept thinking how much I wanted to tell you that you are not the unlikable person you think you are. It’s not about being blonde and slim, its about liking yourself. It was great to hear from you after the session on stage that you had come to that realisation and your face had taken on a ‘glow’ that would easily draw people to you. Well done to you!

    Nick and Alex, you are almost too good to be true. You are doing a great job and Im grateful to have been introduced to Tapping and to be on your mailing list.

  38. Catherine says:

    So inspiring!! Well done Joanne! I can see how difficult that was!
    I am very new to tapping and I get Nick’s emails on a regular basis. Watching the way he helps people is amazing, he is so compassionate, so kind, he knows when to lighten the mood with a little humour! I am so in awe!
    Your story, above all the ones I have seen so far, has inspired me the most!
    I wish you so much luck on your tapping journey!
    Love & blessings xx

  39. Helene Henderson says:

    I believe this was quite a transformative moment. You have quite an intuitive baby toe. I wonder if forgiveness came into the picture at any time.
    Best wishes to you as you move forward. 🙂

  40. TOMAS says:

    Nick, excellent video and demonstration of EFT.

  41. Judy says:

    Good for you Joanne….this was so moving to watch and wonderful to see you begin to dance tentatively at first but then totally into only the music and how your body involuntarily responded in a beautiful and confident way.

    I have similar issues so this video was both moving and inspiring…thank you.

  42. Ian Stark says:

    Brave lady. Deserves to succeed.

  43. Cheryl says:

    OK you win. I am a Certified Hypnotherapist and have been incorporating EFT. I love how compassionate you are. I have followed Margaret M. Lynch for years. Thanks for blazing a great trail blazer. This was awesome.

  44. Kathy says:

    Thank you for allowing us all to be part of this with you Joanne. I could see that tension melting away, you seemed far more at peace toward the end. It was mother issues with me, and watching you helped me.

    As a side note, a topic that came up with my own father with nieces, and my children’s father with our two daughters – for some men a point arrives when they are no longer comfortable with girls that are becoming young ladies sitting on their laps. Has nothing to do with rejection of the girl, but more of social etiquette. Maybe the little girl that you were at the time, being “rejected” is actually misinterpreting something that is difficult to put into words from the dad’s point of view?

  45. Darinka says:

    Thank you!

  46. Debra says:

    I learned how destructive childhood drama can be and I am so grateful to see how Tapping helped her. I felt her pain and in the end I felt her joy. Thank you so much for this wonderful tool that is helping so many people to be freed and released from inner prisons of pain, fear, hurt, anger and all of the negative that this world throws our way. It’s wonderful to have an answer and to see something that actually works for people. I have always believed that we have the power inside to overcome all obstacles. Sometimes we just need some help going in to throw out the bad stuff.

    Thanks so much for the work you do. It means more than words can every express. Blessings to you and your team. As one who loves helping others, I pray someday I can be a part of a team like yours and go around the world helping people find freedom and joy within.

  47. Eva says:

    Joanne is a very brave person to have opened up in front of everyone. This was very touching. Nick you were very gentle and patient. Bravo!

  48. drew norton says:

    i really like the psychological aspects to this video! this is the first time i have seen tapping on a serious issue like this that caused so much emotional and physical pain! most people have experienced some kind of trauma in their life so this is a great example! she and nick really faced this issue head on and defeated it! my personal belief is that GOD gives people certain gifts and abilities to help others overcome things! GOD doesn’t just come and talk to people and counsel them so he provides us with people like wayne dyer and nick ortner and many in the hay house family! wayne dyer always says ‘i’m not doing it’! that same energy that transformed their lives works through them in an amazing way! i thought this was going to be a long video but instead it was an amazing video!

  49. Paru Negandhi says:

    Dear Nick,

    Thank you for this gift of EFT, its amazing! I am an EFT practitioner, and have taken this vow to help as many as I can with this modality! I take workshops and also help people one on one basis.
    Million thanks to you, Jessica, your entire family, for all the support you provide to all of us. May you all be blessed with love light and happiness always!

    Regards-
    Paru
