A book for the unfulfilled super achievers trying to understand why they cant let themselves thrive and FEEL goodlike theyve finally arrived. If you want to stop torturing yourself, this is the book for you.

Jeff Walker, New York Times best-selling author of Launch

If youre anything like me, you devour self help books like theyre going out of style. If you feel like youve tried everything when it comes to personal growthand nothing seems to make a real differenceUnblocked will reveal the missing piece that has kept you from living what youve learned. More importantly, it will lead you directly down the path of deep, lasting change.

Nick Ortner, New York Times best-selling author of The Tapping Solution

In my years of working with leaders and entrepreneurs, Ive learned that even the most successful among us are waging a silent battle with self-doubt... always trying to prove ourselves and secretly questioning our own worth. Margarets approach allows us to free this stagnant energy and transform it into the unshakable confidence we need to live our best life.

Sage Lavine, best-selling author of Women Rocking Business

We all deeply desire to live in our power and to own our true worth, yet most of us go through life feeling like were not enough. We try to fill the void with self-sabotaging behaviors like perfectionism, control, and over-work. The brilliance of Unblocked is that it goes beyond the surface and gives you foolproof tools to break the bonds that are holding you back so you can not only fill that empty space inside but you can make the contribution you were born to make in the world.

Debra Poneman, best-selling author and founder of Yes to Success Seminars

Unblocked is a no-nonsense approach for people who want to release deep emotional blocks that prevent them from living an exceptional life. Margaret and Davids unique method focuses on the developmental issues associated with the lower chakras that hollow out the energy a person has to meet lifes challenges. The book is methodical, thorough, and thought provoking, and includes very powerful visualizations.

While the book is very easy to read, it is not meant for people who are compromised or emotionally faint of heart. Unblocked is for people who are willing and able to deal with potentially strong emotional reactions on their journey to improve themselves. A person who dives into the ideas of the book and does the visualizations offered should be largely rewarded. Finally, even though the book is geared to the public, coaches and mental health professionals will find a rich treasure chest of ideas for helping others.

For our daughters

This book demonstrates a personal growth technique called tapping. It is not a substitute for psychiatric care or psychotherapy. Nothing contained herein is meant to replace qualified medical advice or mental health care. The authors urge the reader to use these techniques under the supervision of a qualified therapist or physician. The author and publisher do not assume responsibility for how the reader chooses to apply the techniques herein.

An almost-lived life is the greatest of tragedies. Weve all known people who have fabulous potential, yet never turn it into reality.

Ive talked to many people as they were near the ends of their lives. One, my former neighbor Janice, was in her late eighties. She lived with her husband, Bill, who was just hitting ninety and in declining health. Conversations with Janice were peppered with her regrets over missed opportunities, carelessly discarded chances to live life fully, visions of what might have been, and the bitter realization that she and Bill would never be able to make up for lost time.

You dont want to end up like Janice and Bill. Seize every opportunity to release your blocks and claim your potential. Tomorrow will not be a better day to start growing. Fulfillment is not going to be easier down the road. Theres never going to be a better time than now to reach for transformation. The day we start taking action is the day we start maximizing our potential.

Margaret and Davids book is a marvelous guide to finding and releasing the blocks to that potential. Margaret, as one of todays leading coaches, and David, as a deeply discerning psychologist, provide insights, tools, and a systematic approach to clearing your blocks and realizing your full potential.

Margaret has found that her coaching clients have in common a lack of self-belief, even though many are high achievers. They use a microscope to enlarge their flaws, while shrinking their strengths and gifts. In Unblocked, she and David provide a step-by-step map to seeing yourself clearly and releasing the argumentsoften buried deep in the subconsciousthat stifle your potential.

The central transformational practice used in the book is Emotional Freedom Techniques or EFT, which is often called tapping because it uses fingertip tapping on acupuncture points to balance the bodys energy system. It also includes elements of two well-researched psychological methods, cognitive therapy and exposure therapy. Over 100 clinical trials demonstrating EFTs efficacy for everything from pain to depression to fibromyalgia can be found at Research.EFTuniverse.com. EFT is particularly effective in treating conditions arising from traumatic memories, such as PTSD.
