How to do EFT tapping to clear feelings of shame and guilt
Starting this week, I’m on a mission to forgive myself for any and every folly I have ever committed. Sounds like a tall order, isn’t it? I’ve realized that any path to attaining a strong self-esteem has to go via self-acceptance and forgiveness. Forgiveness to self and forgiveness to others. So today I’m bringing you my first post in the Forgiveness Series.
There is no point telling yourself that you’re loved and valued if there’s shame and guilt hidden in the dark corners of your psyche. So if you ever did anything that you regret and feel ashamed of, irrespective of how much you were at fault, tapping away that guilt will help you in more than one way. Not only is shame a useless emotion, it constantly works to belittle us, nibbling away at our self-esteem. So let’s tap it away now!
EFT tapping set up
Karate chop
Even though I feel so ashamed of what I did, I am starting to wonder how long I need to keep carrying this burden on my shoulders in order to get anything out of it.
Even though I really shouldn’t have done what I did, and it sure would have kept my life simpler and guilt free, what if I could forgive myself and shut the case, and make my life simpler and guilt free now?
Even though part of me feels this shame is necessary to prevent me from making such mistakes in the future, I’m so ready to let go of this feeling, and set myself free.

Repeat tapping through the script if you feel there is still some emotional charge around the issue. Also tap on any specific memories that come up during tapping. Here’s a related tap-along EFT script to help you get over the feelings of regret over how you behaved on a certain occasion.

Hello, I was looking for a script for tapping, but I couldn’t find one that resonated with me until I located your script. Thank you I will be tapping on this everyday. Thank you!
Thanks for your kind words Danielle. I’m glad you found the script useful. Tapping is absolutely the way to go with negative emotions.
Thanks a million!!
Thank you so much.
Glad it helped, Jolly!
Just this morning i wondered if shame was causing my physical body pain so i went searching for a script. i resonated with yours and voila! my pain went away seemingly miraculously after doing the first round..(and this wasn’t my first rodeo trying to tap away shame. i will continue using your script if my issues didn’t just finally go away this morning as you hoped yours would. Thank you for making this available to us as it so adeptly worded what was creating the “edge” in me.
I’m glad the tapping helped, Sheryl!
What is a good example of tapping if any memories come up? Just tap anywhere? Also, where do we karate chop at first? New to this and super interested!
