Definitely normal at first. Just don't try to fight it. This would be a great time to do the EFT process...WHILE the negative stuff comes up.

I totally understand. You may not be having results because you're so busy focusing on the silliness of it, that you're not allowing yourself to fully tune into the feeling that should be at the surface when you're working on an issue...so the process isn't really doing as much as it can.

If you've watched the video demonstration of EFT, or even looked at the diagram that you can download from Brad Yates' site, I wouldn't worry about the "tapping in the right place" thing.

It's always going to be good to find a "better thought" when a negative one occurs, but when the situation warrants, doing something like EFT is much better than simply turning away from the feelings that come up - because unless you ultimately deal with the source of the resistance, then it will just continue to come up. EFT allows you to deal with it in such a way that it's potentially gone for GOOD.
