Is this the same as EFT (tapping)?
No — Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT tapping) pairs a similar "I accept myself, even though…" phrase with tapping on acupressure points. This tool doesn't involve tapping at all; it's a phrase bank to read, say softly, or journal on. If you're looking for tapping specifically, that's covered on the fear page under EFT tapping, not here.
Why do some phrases say "I accept" and others say "I love"?
Both are doing the same job — naming and allowing the feeling rather than fighting it. There's no significance to which one shows up for a given fear; pick whichever version lands better for you.
What does "accept" actually mean here — am I approving of the fear?
No — "accept" means allow, not approve. Naming a feeling and letting it be there is different from endorsing it or agreeing it's justified.
What are the three ways to browse (feeling, pattern, survival style)?
"By feeling" picks a specific emotion like fear or shame. "By pattern" uses the book's twelve archetypes (the Exhausted Superhero, the People Pleaser, and so on). "By survival style" uses fight/flight/freeze/fawn. Same underlying phrase bank, three different ways into it.
Is my saved journal entry private?
Yes — it stays on this device only. Use "Export (.txt)" to keep a copy elsewhere before clearing your browser data, since that removes it for good.
