Just Because Its There

September 7, 2018 by drleannamanuel Leave a Comment

Breaking the Rules

This is a tapping exercise that I first used in 2011.  It pains me to tell you, but it was true again this week.  I am once again deeply ashamed of how out of control I am about food. In my own defense, it isn’t always true, but some things have obviously changed in my … [Read more…]
