In this fascinating interview, Dr Peta Stapelton, 2019 Australian Psychologist of the year, and global EFT expert, so generously shares the process of becoming a Hay House author. She recounts the moment, standing in the foyer at a conference, that Dr Joe Dispenza told her to write the book that would become The Science Behind Tapping.
Peta is honest about the struggles she faced bringing this book to the world, including facing down criticism from her colleague and how to do justice to such a vast field. I was hooked on every word and so awed by the openness and warmth of this world leader. Peta is committed to bringing EFT to the mainstream and changing the landscape of psychological practice. This is a truly inspiring conversation on what happens when we decide to take personal action towards leading a revolution.
