12. How to become emotionally strong and have healthy boundaries

In this episode…

Dr. Lake shares his views on energy psychology, how to build emotional resilience, how to create healthy boundaries, and when face to face therapy is necessary and the benefits of it.

He says: ”Other treatments, which I call outdated, typically are cognitive treatments working in the mind and most people think that’s where the problem lies, but I no longer believe that. I think the problem is not in your mind, I think the problem is in your feelings which is somewhere coded or logged or anchored in your body. Tapping techniques are actually body techniques. They are not true psychological techniques, although you can be very clever with them.

It is a brand-new day when you can actually reduce anxiety fear and hurt without even knowing what caused them because if your body is processing these feelings away from where they are stored. And once they are gone they are gone

It is life-changing, the results are very very compelling.

David’s bio:

David is a medical practitioner and psychotherapist who has been in private practice since 1977. Dr. Lake completed 17 years of medical hypnosis, and 4 years of Analytic Psychotherapy supervision, as well as comprehensive training in Provocative Therapy.

Dr. Lake is the author of ‘Strategies for Stress’, ‘She’ll Be Right” (a book on relationships for men); co-author with Steve Wells -whom you’ve heard of on podcast #5- of ‘New Energy Therapies: Rapid Change Techniques for Emotional Healing’ and ‘Enjoy Emotional Freedom’.

With Steve Wells he is the originator of SET (Simple Energy Techniques) and PET (Provocative Energy Techniques).

He’s also a supervisor of therapists, and supervises me as well and it’s been incredibly helpful for me and my clients.

Quoting David:

“This is the reason I actually entered the profession (psychotherapy), to be able to get these kind of results, and for many years I never could, I was amazed. And now that you can get these kind of results I’m equally amazed the most of the profession doesn’t want to know about it!

Even the best scientific advances have taken many many many years to take hold. I think in the future people are going to look back to this time and say we were right on the cusp of a whole new way of doing things”

David’s favourite quote:

There’s good news and bad news. The bad news is that there’s no good news. But the good news is that’s all the bad news there is.
