Carrying an emotional burden for someone else is a very high act of love, but it can have consequences for our own emotions and health.
Often we pick up struggles, issues, and burdens for which we can’t take responsibility.
It is wonderful that we want a loved one to overcome their low self esteem, but when we pick up that burden for them it causes two problems. First, it doesn’t help them and second, it makes things harder for us.
Sometimes we consciously or subconsciously pick up these burdens for others. Other times it happens in a completely unconscious way. There are burdens we pick up when we are so young that we don’t even remember them.
When we are able to release these burdens we free ourselves and provide an opportunity for healing to others.
I like to do this type of healing in two ways and it is something that you can easily add to the end of your tapping sessions.
First, after tapping for an issue I will add the following script.
It is a great service to pick up someone else’s burden…It is a very high act of love…It is saying that I want better for them…I want them to heal…I want them to know freedom…But when I pick up a burden for someone else I make it harder for me…And often I am not providing them with true relief…Because I have taken responsibility for something that I can’t heal…When I release something that I have picked up for someone else…I am not giving the burden back to them…I am letting it go…I am giving myself freedom…And I am giving them freedom…I have consciously, subconsciously, and unconsciously picked up burdens for others my whole life…I give myself permission to let go any and all of the burdens that I am still holding…To provide healing for myself…And everyone else
Second, after completing this script I imagine myself standing at the top of my family tree and I imagine the healing I have just received in the tapping session passing back through the past, from generation to generation. As the healing goes back in time it keeps providing more and more healing.
This doesn’t have to take more than 60 seconds, but it is very powerful.
I would love to hear how you experience this second part in the comments below.
Part of my work is dealing with family trees and I love this tapping!
Thank you for being who you are.

Once again, an amazingly synchronistic topic for me.
I will use the script immediately to release the burden of responsibility for my father’s welfare.
He is 91, just had a fall, lives alone and refuses any help from outside family members in a very rude and aggressive manner. And I live 5 hours drive away!
Thank you very much, Gene.
