“An ‘I’m stupid’ belief rewired.”
Letting go of an old childhood belief of "I'm stupid" that was still triggering years later—finding the truth behind another’s reaction, and returning to her own inner confidence.
A client came to me for help with an issue involving a colleague she had worked with years earlier. After all these years, she still felt anger about how she’d been treated and wanted to be free from the emotional charge of that memory.
The colleague had dismissed her ideas, telling her they were irrelevant or even “stupid.” Each time she saw him or heard his name, the same feelings of hurt and frustration resurfaced.
During our session using EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), an early memory emerged. She recalled being a young girl, sitting with her father as he tried to help her with homework. When she couldn’t grasp the lesson, he lost patience. From that moment, she formed a core belief: “I’m stupid.”
As we worked through this childhood scene using Tapping and TMR (Transformative Memory Repatterning™️), releasing the trauma of the memory, a new perspective came to light. She realized her father wasn’t angry with her—he was frustrated with himself for not being able to explain the material in a way she could understand. Through tapping, her younger self could finally see that his frustration wasn’t about her intelligence at all. With that understanding, she was able to let go of the false belief that she was stupid, forgive her father, and embrace a new truth: she was capable and smart, able to achieve anything she chose.
Once the memory was healed, we invited her younger self—the part that had been trapped in the past painful memory—to join her in the present. Now free of the limiting belief, that part felt loved and whole. We also worked on a few other memories that carried strong emotional charge, and as each one was transformed, those younger parts, too, were welcomed and integrated into her present-day self with love and acceptance.
When I asked her now how she felt about the former colleague, the anger was gone. His behavior no longer triggered her, because the old belief that she was stupid had dissolved. She now knew her worth, and his opinion no longer held any power.
It’s a profound freedom—to no longer be ruled by old triggers or painful memories. We all deserve to live free from the limiting beliefs of our past, and to fully express our potential without fear.
With today’s powerful epigenetic healing modalities—and with the guidance of a compassionate, skilled practitioner—you can gently access the subconscious mind and help your younger self to:
- Release fear or trauma that may have occurred (through EFT),
- See what was truly happening from a wiser, broader perspective,
- Express what could not be said back then—to be seen, heard, and validated, and
- Find peace through forgiveness, whether of others or oneself.
When transforming old emotional wounds with EFT and TMR (Transformative Memory Repatterning™️), the past loses its power to define you.
