Relationships can be personal, professional, family, or intimate, or a combo. Healthy touch communication in all relationships is key.

Dawn uses EFT or tapping, also known as Emotional Freedom Techniques, to help you heal emotions that prevent you from having healthy relationships.

For instance, if you feel anger, betrayal, or frustration over a divorce or break-up it will have an impact on how you approach future potential mates.  You have the power to change.  EFT brings clarity, choice, and confidence.

What do you want from your relationship? Perhaps you want security. Playfulness.  Loyalty.   Equality.

Maybe you have been told you cannot have it all.  That is untrue.  For instance, most of us have seen a relationship that thrives. The couple is happy and they DO have it all. Similarly, Dawn can help you create a powerful tool to evaluate your potential relationships.  You can have it all without wasting time, money, and energy.  First, the power of EFT can help you heal, and Dawn can teach it to you.

It is time for you to have the relationship you want and deserve.

Ousted from Community

Touch Remedies Posted on February 19, 2022 by Dawn BennettFebruary 19, 2022

Have you ever been pushed out of or separated from a group that you really felt part of?  Maybe you have experienced this in sports, in school, in religious community, in friendships, in your neighborhood, or over this pandemic.  I’ve worked with people who have had this painful experience, but only recently has it happened to me in a way that broke my heart.

Break-up x 100 = Devastation

I’m surprisingly devastated, and it’s like 100 friends have broken up with me at the same time.  To be honest, this group that I perceived and experienced as loving and spiritual has its own agenda.  They schedule things and then move them with little to no notice (which is what happened.)  

I Paid to Be Part of Something

I planned my travel and my whole work schedule around this spiritual journey; the time it is offered has been moved with only five days notice.  Instead of participating in the 25 classes in-person where I can ask questions and build relationships, I now will have to watch the replays. 

Frequent Attacks

It feels disrespectful and personal, even though it has nothing to do with me.  The odd thing is, many of the communities I have been part of have pushed me away, attacked me, or shamed me recently.  Enough that I got very ill and depressed and was unable to function for days.  I sat on the earth one day and observed myself and how I was feeling and thought, “Is this how people feel when they decide to commit suicide?”  Although I wasn’t suicidal, I had never felt the depth of hopelessness I did in that moment. I questioned everything I was doing in the world as well as my purpose in it.

What’s the Lesson?

I’m trying to figure that out.  As a person who really loves people, who is writing a book on the importance of community and connection and communication and empathy and love, it almost feels like a test. Do I believe what I say?  Or am I the painter who never paints her house?  Perhaps I talk so much about love and connection because I am trying to create it for myself. 

Is It Safe To Love?

Is it worth the heartbreak?  Am I expecting too much of my fellow humans?  I don’t think so. I do think at the core everyone wants to be loved.  Individuals are loveable.  But so many messages from our infancy on teach us that love is conditional.  We are not enough. Love isn’t to be trusted. Community is a place you go to find others, but must ‘Do’ to be ‘part of’.

Creating a Powerful Story

After writing this, I am considering the possibility that I am experiencing these losses over and over so I can channel the isolation energy as I write this book.  I was fairly sheltered during the pandemic, but this mirrors many of the experiences of those I have talked to. 

Doing My Work

I’ve already done some EFT Tapping around it and prayerful meditation. That’s when I decided to write this blog.  Now, I’m off to do yoga and move the rest of this energy out before I continue to write my book.

Do You Resonate?

I’d love to hear your stories about connection and disconnection, loneliness and isolation.  It is something we all experience sometimes, so why don’t we talk about it more?  How do you find ways to connect when you feel like no one cares?  Drop me a line.  Let’s chat.

With love,

Dawn

I’m Writing a Book on Relationships

Touch Remedies Posted on December 27, 2021 by Dawn BennettJanuary 5, 2022

And it’s turned out a bit like a relationship itself.  I was all excited about it.  It’s my second full book.  I was so inspired I was even waking up in the morning after having dreams about it in the fall of 2020.  I’d get up and voice memo myself the rush of thoughts and awesomeness running through my brain.

THIS IS IT! 

Yep, This is it, I thought.  This will be SO EASY!  In fact, I’m pretty sure it’s divine intervention writing this book through me.  I went right from courting the idea of writing a book about relationships into full-blown honeymoon phase. Words were easy; my messages felt clear and aligned for anyone to receive. 

And Then…

Like most relationships, the excitement waned. I kept working on it, but somehow the flow wasn’t as magical.  The edits were more brutal and disheartening.  I was afraid that what I was writing would too honestly reflect my own intimate relationships in the past and upset those I still care for and call friends.

Reality set in. As I navigated writing with work and my life in general, the book got set aside.  I’d write a bit when I felt like it amidst everyday drudgery. I knew it didn’t have to be this way; I couldn’t see a way out.

Just Another Day In the Woods

When people asked me about the writing, I’d say it was going fine.  Pretty good.  But realistically, my hormones weren’t engaged.  My intellect wasn’t excited.  Things were stagnant. 

I’d engage with it, half-heartedly hoping for the passion to return, but wasn’t really sure where I was headed. 

Should I End It?

My thoughts were fully occupied as I hiked.  Do I really want to write this book?  Or should I change it up and write something totally different.  I’ve put so much time and energy into it.  Maybe I should just stick with it.  Maybe this is all there is.

The Big Choice

I had three main options I decided.  First, try to reignite my passion and dedication and bring it in a new direction, using the past chapters as a catalyst for growth. Second, I could settle with what I’ve already done and just keep going, hoping it will get better. Third, I could end it. Either by not writing it at all, or by starting all over again.

More Than Creativity In Hibernation

Everything is GONE.  Everything.

I went into my computer early December to try to rekindle the creative juices. Not one word was to be found.  Not the outlines, the research, the quotes, the character development, nor the chapters themselves.  Unsearchable, even in icloud or my external backup drive. 

I took it as a sign from the universe to give up.  With tears I started announcing to my closest people that the Universe had decided for me. 

A Bit Returned…

Amanda, who helped me with my first book (and is the lead of the 20-author collaborative book being released January 21st 2022 that I’m part of), had copies of three-and-a-half chapters in an email from me.

A Magical Reappearance

As if the Universe was telling me I HAD to write it, Apple Support found it while I was working with another computer issue.  All of it.  Everything I mentioned above + voice memos.  

Now What?

It’s a second chance.  Do I want it?  Will it make me happy?  Is it “meant to be?”  Tuning in, I still have a strong NEED to write a book on relationships.  Should it be more about healing with EFT?  Touch-based? Process and science based?  Should I turn it partially fiction?  Too many options froze me again.

The Next Relationship

I am creating a new relationship.  I’ll read the old content.  Enjoy the light from the darkness.  Feel into my body and get a clear idea if this past writing was just to teach me a lesson so I could have a stronger, more powerful, more aligned relationship with my next writing project; perhaps it’s actually the one I wanted all along.  Maybe as I turned my back and struggled, it has been patiently waiting for me to come to center and feel its presence.  Warm, inviting, and fully open to expanding into a beautiful and synergistic existence.

We’ll see.

Denying Support Does Not Make You Independent and Strong

Touch Remedies Posted on June 10, 2021 by Touch RemediesSeptember 28, 2021

I had a series of mishaps Tuesday beginning with an injury and followed by a theft.  My friend, Coach Les Hill, was gracious enough to offer support in a variety of ways. Someone stole my motorcycle gloves; he offered me another pair. I hurt my leg and a very very deep bruise was starting. The remedies I had been using to care for myself had been stolen as well. He offered an extra level of support with topical arnica. 

Belief Systems Stirred

trail

The hardest thing was not that the theft or injury happened, but that it stirred up a deep belief I’ve been working on with my colleagues using EFT tapping and homeopathy. The belief?  People take advantage and steal my energy via time, stuff, and money if I’m not 100% attentive.  

I know where the source of this belief is, and it’s about 80% less potent. Every time the trigger occurs it is less emotional and impactful.  

Energy Returns Through Others’ Care

How do you allow others to care for and support you? I used to think accepting help from others made me weak. Or it meant I owed them something because I should create equality in energy.  There was a distrust that others were giving freely; I had learned that many people, especially guys when I was younger (sorry but true), expected something in return. I boldly turned down all help offered, stubbornly taking care of everything in my life myself.  It’s all different for me now. I choose to accept support. It’s pure awesomeness. It refills my energy cup. It allows me to give to others.

Can You Have King/Queen Treatment?

First, some of us are taught that accepting help creates vulnerability. Second, we learn from our childhood experiences what attachment to a loved one looks like. Many learn being treated well is not safe; kindness is a manipulation tool. Third, some learn being treated well was fleeting—perhaps one sober minute we are the apple of our parents eye, and the next minute we are backhanded.  Or worse. That can all be healed.

Even without abuse, many of us subconsciously learn we don’t deserve. That we aren’t worthy. In my relationship and intimacy training, my teacher says that the hardest thing for men and women to accept in a healthy relationship is their partner treating them like a king or queen.  However, we all deserve that level of care from those we love; it does not make one less of a man or less of a woman. In fact, it’s a key part of connection and relationships.  

Receiving Helps Others

For example: If I try to show you love and care through help and support, and every time I try you turn it down, I may feel unloved. If my love language is acts of service, and you don’t allow me to help you, I may feel unimportant or as if you were pushing me away. 

Obviously there’s boundaries with everything, and there are times when people do give to manipulate, or they are being boundary-less and it can be too much. However, I encourage you to look within yourself. Can you receive gifts, help, and support graciously?  Do you allow it to create connection? Do you know that you deserve it?

Another Crash, Another Injury

trail

In conclusion, I felt the support again when I crashed again this morning on a trail. I was extra grateful to still have this Arnica on hand. Above all else, be kind to yourself. Allow others to be good to you. Let’s have conversation about how you can have more support, care, and connection in your life.   Schedule here.  

Better Intimate Relationships

Mastering the art of receiving support gracefully and knowing you deserve it will also have a positive influence on your partnerships, your marriage, and your future relationships. It will create more connection and communication between you and your partner. How do I know? I’ve experienced it myself as I have shifted beliefs using EFT tapping, and I’ve seen my own clients have powerful changes in their confidence and connection. Ready to explore that for yourself? Then let’s chat.

With love,

Dawn
