Introduction
Beth McIntyre is a certified Emotion, Body and Belief Code Practitioner. After struggling with depression and bipolar disorder for years, she found healing through Dr. Bradley Nelson's Emotion Code work. In this episode she joins me to talk about the hidden connection between trapped emotions and autoimmune disease.
Episode Highlights
What Trapped Emotions Are and How They Form
Beth explains how overwhelming emotions that we can't process in the moment become stuck in our energy field and body.
- Most adults carry hundreds or thousands of trapped emotions
- They form from everyday trauma, not just major traumatic events
- Simple things like being cut off in traffic can create trapped emotions
- Emotions become trapped when we suppress or stuff them down
- Tiredness and stress make us more likely to trap emotions
The Connection Between Trapped Emotions and Physical Health
We discuss how stuck emotions directly impact our physical body and immune system.
- Trapped emotions hinder the body's natural healing capacity
- They can cause or worsen chronic symptoms like gut issues
- People who suppress emotions show higher rates of autoimmune conditions
- Thyroid issues particularly correlate with suppressed voice/expression
- The more imbalances in the body, the harder it is to heal naturally
Beth's Personal Transformation Story
Beth shares her journey from severe depression to thriving health and happiness.
- Struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts from teens into twenties
- Tried various healing modalities for years with limited success
- Found the Emotion Code book and practiced on herself for two weeks
- Experienced immediate improvement and continued training
- Now describes feeling grateful to be alive every day
How Trapped Emotions Affect Daily Life
Beyond physical symptoms, trapped emotions impact every area of our lives.
- Stuck anger makes you feel more angry when triggered
- Trapped anxiety amplifies anxious feelings tenfold
- Unworthiness blocks career success and relationships
- Can cause self-sabotage even when life improves
- Affects manifestation and ability to receive good things
The Body Code and Belief Code Systems
Beth explains how these three modalities work together as an integrated healing system.
- Body Code is the comprehensive system containing Emotion Code
- Belief Code addresses limiting beliefs that keep patterns stuck
- Most imbalances have multiple causes requiring integrated approach
- Belief work accelerates and stabilizes all other healing
- System is structured and systematic, not "airy fairy"
Practical Ways to Start Healing
Beth provides concrete steps anyone can take to begin releasing trapped emotions.
- Get The Emotion Code book and learn basic muscle testing
- Start with simple techniques like the sway test
- Can practice on yourself or work with a certified practitioner
- No need to consciously process or relive trauma
- Results often happen in 20 minutes or less
Notable Quotes from this Episode
Most adults have hundreds of them, sometimes thousands. And I think the big thing that people sometimes think is like, you have to have experienced something insanely traumatic, but that's not even the case at all.
Beth McIntyre
The more trapped emotions you have because their energies, they say if I have lots of anger trapped inside of my body and then I feel angry. And that, that feeling of anger is then resonating with the anger that's already trapped inside my body. So, I feel that anger more than what I would if I didn't have that anger already stuck in me.
Beth McIntyre
I literally thought about that same thing and like the energy that I felt towards it was like gone. And I was like, it's so incredible how that can change that in literally like 20 minutes. And I can, I can feel that shift.

Episode Transcript
Beth McIntyre:[00:00:00] Like I know when I've trapped in emotion and it's like. Sometimes it's, it's that the stupidest things, you know, someone cuts me off on the road , and if you are tired or stressed or your body is already like, got issues, you are gonna be more likely to take on those trapped emotions as well because the body literally cannot, doesn't have the energy to process it in the moment.
​
Julie Howton: Welcome back to The Inspired Living with Autoimmunity podcast. I'm your host, Julie Houghton. In today's episode, I explore the fascinating connection between trapped emotions and autoimmune [00:01:00] disease. With Beth McIntyre, a certified emotion body and belief code practitioner, we tend to think of trauma as big catastrophic events.
But in this conversation, Beth shares how everyday emotions accumulate in our body and eventually impact our physical health and immune system. This is one of those episodes where everyone, regardless of their diagnosis, will learn something. They can apply right away.
Beth, welcome to the podcast.
Beth McIntyre: Thank you, Julie. Thank you so much for having me.
Julie Howton: I, and thank you for getting up so early in the morning to chat with us. I would love for you, I'm always, I, I think everybody leans in and we all have our journey with how, how we entered this healing world. Um, I would love for you to just let listeners get to know you a little bit by sharing your journey and, and then we'll dig in a little more to the work that you're doing now.
Beth McIntyre: Yeah, [00:02:00] sure. So I guess my journey began a long time ago. I grew up and I just had a lot of, I guess growing up as a teenager, I felt very, very depressed. Um, and mis carried out for a long time, I reckon, until sometime in my twenties. Uh, at times it was really bad, like I was quite suicidal. Uh, and then in my twenties it started kind of going on the up a little bit, but it was still quite up and down.
Julie Howton: Okay.
Beth McIntyre: Um, and then I reckon it was back in, uh, the end of 2018 ki I kind of started on this like. Healing personal development journey. Um, and through that, throughout that, for like seven years now, things have gotten better. A lot better, like, but it was still quite up and down. Like I was definitely overall feeling a lot better myself.
Physically my health was getting better, like emotionally, like I was feeling happier, but they were [00:03:00] still, I would still go really down.
Julie Howton: Okay.
Beth McIntyre: Um. So I was noticing that yeah, things are getting better, but it still felt like there was something off. Um, and then, yeah, around a year ago now, just over a year ago, I found the emotion code book by Dr.
Bradley Nelson. And I was just about to get onto a plane flight and that had it on Spotify premium. So I put the recording on, I listened to it, the whole plane flight, my, for my two week holiday. I just practiced it on myself. By the end of the two weeks I was feeling like, wow, I feel better. Like if things were just feeling lighter and I just feel happier.
And so since then I've literally just kept going with it. Um, and he has two more modalities. Uh, and I trained in those. And then it's just been up and up and up since, uh, my health is like amazing right now. I think it's the best it's ever been. Uh, emotionally, like I feel like my [00:04:00] mental health is like every day.
I feel just so grateful to be alive. Like I've never felt happy in my life. Um, my career's taking off and I was someone that struggled a lot. Like what do I wanna do with my life? And that, I think that was also like a big. Driving factor of like, I feel so unfulfilled and so like sad, like I just dunno what I'm doing in my life.
And I tried so many different career paths, so like everything is just taking off, like my relationships and just taking off. Like everything just feels so good. And yeah, like it was in like one year since I found his work.
Julie Howton: Mm-hmm.
Beth McIntyre: Like it just, everything changed.
Julie Howton: That's amazing. It's powerful. I remember the first time I to listened to the emotion code, um, and then ended up getting the, the physical book.
'cause I wanted the physical book as well. Yeah. I got it
Beth McIntyre: right next to me.
Julie Howton: Um, and, and so I personally know how impactful it is, but I was so excited [00:05:00] to share your work with listeners because. We know that there's a connection between stress, emotions, autoimmunity, health in general or, or lack of health in general, but mm-hmm.
Um, I, I wanna, I, so I, I'm excited. What I love about the emotion code, I, I too have, um, I'm not certified. I have played with it on myself. I have used on my animals with my animals.
Beth McIntyre: Yes,
Julie Howton: yes. Um, at a, like, I had a horse in a postoperative time of crisis and critical care unit and, you know, was using it with him twice a day.
I mean, it, it was, it, it can be really impactful. Um,
Beth McIntyre: yeah.
Julie Howton: And so I wanna talk a little bit about, you mentioned the, the three. Um
Beth McIntyre: hmm.
Julie Howton: And so I wanna, let's start with the emotion code 'cause that's what pulled you in. That's the original works of [00:06:00] Bradley Nelson. Um, and, and again, one of the things I love, I always feel like when we find a modality that resonates with us.
You can't get better than going to a practitioner. Right? Somebody who's trained Yeah. And really knows what they're doing. But what I also do love about the emotion code is that you can, you can practice it on yourself and so you can do both. It doesn't have to be an either or. Um, I think it's really wise to start with a practitioner and if it is working and resonates, then learn more.
And, and this is how we get more practitioners too.
Beth McIntyre: Yeah. So I think, I think everyone's journey is different. You know, like, 'cause I have people that come to me and like, 'cause you know, obviously you know Janet, you have to learn the muscle testing.
Julie Howton: Mm-hmm.
Beth McIntyre: And some people find that. Tricky. Gotcha. So that they, they definitely wanna go to practitioner, you know, other
Julie Howton: people.
I love that you bring up
Beth McIntyre: both
Julie Howton: the different [00:07:00] journey. You know, I already was trained in muscle testing and using muscle testing for other things, and so for me this was like, oh
Beth McIntyre: yeah, yeah. It's natural.
Julie Howton: Yeah. So you're right. It it is. And, and some people like. Not all of us find healing and that becomes our calling either, so.
Mm-hmm. You know, it's, yeah, definitely. Yeah, that's the beautiful part. Um, so, so tell us a little, what is the emotion code? And, and I wanna like, touch on, I use the word stuck emotion, but
Beth McIntyre: Yeah.
Julie Howton: Tell us just kind of that's a large scale, you know, what are we, what are we talking about?
Beth McIntyre: So basically like you've already said it, uh, at the basic level, it's just what we do is identify trapped emotion.
So stuck emotion that we've stuck in our energy field. Uh, so anything or in our body, like, so any time where we have felt an emotion and it was very overwhelming to us and we [00:08:00] weren't able to process it. Um, and this can also happen, like if you're someone who. Stuffs down your emotions. Mm-hmm. Which, so if you need a cry, but you, you're trying to, you vo it or you are angry, but you're like, okay, I don't, I've suppressed my anger.
And these obviously, every time you do that, you are definitely causing stuck emotional energies in your body. And most adults have hundreds of them, lot, sometimes thousands. It's, it's
Julie Howton: just depends.
Beth McIntyre: Yeah. Just everywhere. And I think the big thing that people sometimes think is that you have to have experienced something insanely traumatic, you know, A, a capital
Julie Howton: T trauma,
Beth McIntyre: big trauma.
Yeah. You know, but that's not even the case at all. Like, since I've been doing this work, I find now that I'm so conscious to it. Like I know when I've trapped in emotion and it's like. Sometimes it's, it's that the stupidest things, you know, someone cuts me off on the road like, and I'm like, oh god dammit.
Like, it's like, and I just, and if you are tired or stressed or your body is already like, [00:09:00] got issues, you are gonna be more likely to take on those trapped emotions as well because the body literally cannot, doesn't have the energy to process it in the moment. So there are a number of factors why, so of course, if you have trauma with a capital T, you're probably definitely gonna have some trapped emotions from those times.
But then there's just every day trauma with a small D that just isn't even anything, but the body can't handle it.
Julie Howton: Yeah. And, and there there have been studies, there's a, you use the word stuffing, you know, there is a correlation between stuffers and autoimmunity for sure. And you know, people who squash their voice and, and mm-hmm.
Thyroid issues in particular.
Beth McIntyre: Mm-hmm.
Julie Howton: Thyroid is one of the most common autoimmune conditions. Mm-hmm. So, um, you know, that was kind of one of the reasons I was so excited. To, to talk to you and have you share your wisdom with [00:10:00] listeners. Yeah. So the, then the second modality and, and, and obviously they're all intertwined, right?
Yeah,
Beth McIntyre: yeah, definitely. So the
Julie Howton: second
Beth McIntyre: modality is the body code, and that has the emotion code inside of it. So that's like one aspect of it. And then the third modality is the belief code, and that's also inside the body code. So the body code has everything and those two modalities are inside. So that that has all of them.
Yeah.
Julie Howton: And, and is it something like, how, how, is it something that like someone says, oh, I need that, or are you, you use all three? All the
Beth McIntyre: time. Yeah. So '
Julie Howton: cause they're
Beth McIntyre: interconnect, like Yeah. An normally, yeah, they're interconnected. So sometimes I, I'll ask someone's, 'cause as you know, you, you'll connect to the person subconscious, or if you're doing it on yourself, you'll be asking your subconscious questions through the muscle [00:11:00] testing.
Um, and sometimes if there's. Something specific. Like, uh, the body will basically, I can feel it, I can feel the body is saying, oh, I just want to use the emotion code today. Like, there's this issue is caused solely by trapped emotions. Gotcha. So just go to this and like, as I think as you get more experience, you know, like I can naturally feel where, what's needed.
The body's taking me. Yeah. But in most cases, like I just go to the body code and 'cause it has everything in it. Okay. And not most, I imbalances are caused by. Multiple things, you know? So the body code just has like a more comprehensive range of imbalances, including trapped emotions, which you end up finding are the cause of most imbalances anyway.
Julie Howton: Gotcha.
Beth McIntyre: So you have like, you'll find like a thyroid imbalance, right? And then you'll ask like what's causing this? And then there'll be trapped emotion trap, emotion trapped emotion trapped motion.
Julie Howton: And I love that you say that 'cause it is not, there's no one and [00:12:00] done, you know, you mentioned all of us, we don't have to be aware of experiencing grand trauma.
Right. All of us mm-hmm. Have stuff. I mean, even just from being told to be polite when you're little or, you know, like, I mean, there it, yeah, it's, it starts early. Um, and so for the most part we're, we're not aware. Of these things, but I love, I love that you talk about kind of the, the layers or the stack of, it's not like, oh, this is, this one thing happened one time and that caused this and we're done.
Like so.
Beth McIntyre: Yeah. Yeah. Well, I think Dr. Brad says it a lot. I don't know if it's in the motion code book, but in the Body Code, which she also has a book on. Um, he says anything causes, anything you like can cause anything. You know?
Julie Howton: Sure.
Beth McIntyre: It's like it's not, and it's very, it's per person, you know? Just 'cause one person's thorough imbalance is caused by X.
This other person Oh yeah. Who has completely different imbalances that is causing the same issue, you know?
Julie Howton: Yeah. It's
Beth McIntyre: just dependent [00:13:00] entirely on your body and what you've been through and how your body is processing that. You know, like I think that's the other thing, like we also can't. Like consciously we feel like, oh, that was, that didn't affect us.
But like, you don't know what the body's doing. You actually don't know how the body is actually taking that on, you know?
Julie Howton: Yeah.
Beth McIntyre: Interesting to see.
Julie Howton: It is. It is. So like, yeah, what, like what are some effects or could be some effects of trapped emotion in the body?
Beth McIntyre: So anything really. Okay. Like anything you can think of can be caused by trapped emotions or can greatly 'cause all trapped emotions.
What happens in the body is like we have what we call the stages of imbalance and so when you just have like a few, the body is still able to, because the body can naturally. We all know we have like a very, if you get a cold, you can recover. You know, if you scrape your knee, you recover. So the body does have like it's innate [00:14:00] healing capacity.
Sure. Not just that we've, we've got imbalances in the body and other things going on that are blocking that. So you have, the more imbalances you have, the harder it is for the body to be able to innately have that healing ability. And so the more trapped emotions you have, the more that's gonna hinder it because all those energies are trapped in your body, and so it can cause anything.
Obviously, the most, the most obvious one is like emotional issues. So if you have a lot of anger stored in your body from whatever you might find that you're like an angry person. Um, but obviously you have like a lot of sadness trapped in your body and then you might find you're generally sad, um, but like just obviously the more trapped emotions you have, 'cause they're energies.
They say if I have lots of anger trapped inside of my body and then I feel angry, and that that feeling of anger is then resonating with the anger that's already [00:15:00] trapped inside my body. So. I feel that anger more than what I would if I didn't have that anger already stuck in me.
Julie Howton: Gotcha.
Beth McIntyre: So same with anxiety, for example.
Like if you have a lot of anxiety trapped in your body, you'll then feel anxious, but then that will resonate with the energies in your body and then boom, you feel 10 times more anxious. So that's obviously the main one. You know, like emotional issues. Um, mental, mental, emotional health. Uh, but anything, you know, like now the big hot topic is like manifestation.
So, you know, any energy in the body can block, you know, if you don't feel worthy of like money or your career or a relationship, anything, you know, like if you have that unworthiness stuck in you, or why are you gonna attract what you desire? You know, why are you gonna. Bring that into your life. Even if you do, you're probably self sabotage.
You know? So that's a big one, like sabot. And so that's where
Julie Howton: the, the belief code comes in, which is not
Beth McIntyre: Yeah.
Julie Howton: Not Bradley Nelson's work. Right. It was added
Beth McIntyre: on to [00:16:00] this work. Uh, it was someone else.
Julie Howton: Yeah.
Beth McIntyre: And then they took it and kind of, so they, they worked with the original people and they kind of made it into what it is today.
Yeah. Yeah. Um. Then of course physical symptoms. That's obviously probably the most common. Most of my clients come to me for physical symptoms. I have dealt with people with a range of physical symptoms, uh, and most of them are chronic. Um, some of the things that have just started, but that they're. So as the body gets more imbalanced, you may this, this niggle that you feel or this like, so you have a stomachache or something and you can ignore it when there's not much imbalance in the body.
But then when the body is more imbalanced, then it becomes chronic. Then if you ignore that, that's when the chronic symptoms start becoming worse, and then you feel that tummy ache that was then chronic is now turning into, you know, all sorts of different gut issues and different pains and different aches, and then other parts of the system start to shut down because [00:17:00] you've ignored that thing that's become crack chronic, right?
Because all these imbalances are building up. Uh, so yeah, like a lot of clients will come to me for like a lot of gut issues I've had, um, but even habits, um, like I've had clients that had. Habits that they had since I were a child and we really saw these things that sometimes weren't even related to the habits and the habits have disappeared, like fingernail biting or picky, things like that.
I think
Julie Howton: so many things that, that are habits or patterns as adults. Served us as children in some way, right? Mm-hmm. Like they, they, they protection. Yeah. They were protective. And most of the time, by the time we reach adulthood, they are not serving us anymore.
Beth McIntyre: Yeah.
Julie Howton: Um, and so I love that, that you call it, it, we can't separate out.
The, the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, like [00:18:00] we are whole complex human beings. Exactly. Um, and that's where I got really excited. I shared before we hit record, I didn't know about the belief code. Um mm-hmm. And, and, but I've done a lot of belief work, um, yeah. And, and a lot of work around limiting beliefs and, um, using modalities.
Uh, they're, I, I hate to say simple, using modalities. I call them shortcuts, right? There are things like theta healing, things like
Beth McIntyre: mm-hmm.
Julie Howton: Um, body code, emotion code, belief code, you know, that where we don't need to clock a hundred hours. In therapy. And I'm not saying like if you're in therapy and it's working for you, great, but there are ways of just releasing, shifting these energies, letting go of stuff.
If we can have somebody help us even identify what's there.
Beth McIntyre: Yeah. And that's why [00:19:00] I love, sorry, the belief code. Yeah. Is when I found it. Uh, everything changed since then. You know, same as you. I've done a lot of belief, like limiting belief work. Mm-hmm. And. Like before, I always found it really arduous. Like it was a lot of, okay, I have to like find them out.
And then, you know, like a lot of repetition, like, you know, you gotta new beliefs and affirmations and like really, you know, all that, that belief work that I had done,
Julie Howton: Uhhuh.
Beth McIntyre: And then when I started the belief code I was like, wow, like actually shifting beliefs is like simple. And it was one belief code that like.
My life, like all the work I've been doing, like with the emotion code, the body code was like amazing, but it just like skyrocketed. Yeah. And I found, same with some of my clients, like issues that we had been working on when I had just had the, the two modalities. Mm-hmm. And then it still wasn't kind of clearing up.
And then we, there was like that one underlying belief and then it just like changed, you know? Yeah. Like, it was [00:20:00] just, and I've had, uh, one person that I worked on when I was actually doing my certification. She, so we have different belief systems. They have like the, the pattern differently. Um, and one of them you can have is like a partial belief system.
So this is very common to find in people that have done a lot of belief shifting work, um, because the belief is, or some of the beliefs have already been destabilized. And I found this in her and she was like, that's so interesting because I've been working with my psychologist for like the last year to literally change these beliefs.
And I was like, that's really interesting because. She's worked on in like a year. And like you said, not to discredit like psychology or therapy, because I have a degree in psychology. You know, I, I started with that. Um, but like it's funny that she was taking a whole year and they hadn't still, the belief system was.
Partially there. We're still
Julie Howton: there.
Beth McIntyre: Right. And I was able to go in and just be like, yeah, like, and I didn't have to do anything. It's like, that's the beauty about it, is that we are not like [00:21:00] finding it or like working it out. I just ask the subconscious and with the system that the amazing, comprehensive system that they have, like they, it just guides me.
And so there's no like guesswork in it. Like I'm not. As a practitioner, like, I'm not healing you, I'm not finding things out. I'm literally just talking with your mind and it's telling me everything. And that's why, that's why I love it so much. You know, it's so simple,
Julie Howton: like being
Beth McIntyre: a detective,
Julie Howton: but it's
Beth McIntyre: Yeah,
Julie Howton: it's so structured.
Beth McIntyre: Yeah, exactly.
Julie Howton: Yeah. Um,
Beth McIntyre: that's why I think that's what I love about it. Like, it's so structured, you know, like it's not like, like I've done other energy healing work. Like, it's a bit more airy fairy, you know? Mm-hmm. And I love coming from a science background, you know? I love that they's structured. It's very like systematic
Julie Howton: black and white.
Yeah.
Beth McIntyre: Yeah. It's, it's very, it's very, like, it's just taking me where I need to go, and then I know that, and then I know I just have to release that and then we move on. It's like, [00:22:00] it's so, I love it.
Julie Howton: That, that's fantastic. I really, and, and, um, you were talking about. Oh gosh, I lost my thought. Um, it'll come back up.
There was something you said that's, oh, with the, your own healing journey, right? Mm-hmm. You were already working on stuff and already, you know, healing and feeling better, but that belief work, uh, I, it really makes every other thing you are doing to heal. Exponentially faster.
Beth McIntyre: Yeah.
Julie Howton: I, I used to, you know, get to belief work like when I was very first coaching.
Mm-hmm. Um, I, I knew it was important and I was doing a lot of work on myself, personal growth, and I hadn't quite fully connected the dots in how essential starting all of my clients with belief work to get. Better, [00:23:00] quicker, you know?
Beth McIntyre: Yeah. It's like the foundation.
Julie Howton: More permanent results with every other thing, you know, was, was amazing.
And I love that you, you referenced, you know, you have like a science brain, right? Mm-hmm. Because this sounds very woo woo. And even just the words belief work. Yeah. Right. Or emotion tone and even just
Beth McIntyre: energy healing. Yeah. Very, when I tell people I'm energy healed, they're like, oh. And I'm like, oh, I, I tried to use a different word now 'cause I think people associate it with Yeah.
Like very woo stuff, which it still is, but like, it's,
Julie Howton: but the funny thing is
very,
Beth McIntyre: the
Julie Howton: WOOWOO stuff is rooted in science. Yeah. And really none of it is new. No. So, you know, I, I, you know, you need to
Beth McIntyre: mainstream people.
Julie Howton: Yeah. I, I tell people like, okay. Have you heard of the placebo effect? And I, you know, I, I did a presentation once that had, you know, the, when the placebo effect, I forget now what [00:24:00] year it was, but a long time ago.
You know, they, they learned about it and it was like, this is, this is good news. Like we know your body is responding to your thoughts. Yeah. So why wouldn't we use that as a tool?
Beth McIntyre: Yeah.
Julie Howton: You know, I, I, I really do believe, like if somebody shows up to work with me. If they're working with me, there's a part of them that at least that obviously hopes they can heal, but they, they may not be really all in on belief, right?
Mm-hmm. And so if, if they don't believe they can heal, they can change diet, they can manage stress, they can, you know, optimize movement, get their sleep dialed in, handle the toxins,
Beth McIntyre: everything, and
Julie Howton: still say stick like it.
Beth McIntyre: Yeah. Really? And like placebo effect, like even if everything is in check. They're still just gonna, and then it also causes like even if everything is in check and they are getting better, then there is that belief and then they might self-sabotage, you [00:25:00] know?
Right.
Julie Howton: Then there's that, that back
Beth McIntyre: by for the Yeah, yeah.
Julie Howton: Absolutely. Yeah. Whereas it, when we truly understand how important our beliefs are and our, you know, and I always say awareness is the first step, um, but what I love with the work you do is. It doesn't require, people don't have to do a lot of homework.
They don't have to uncover their hidden belief.
Beth McIntyre: No.
Julie Howton: You
Beth McIntyre: know, it's so, so great. Like,
Julie Howton: yeah.
Beth McIntyre: Yeah. It's so, and it's so, like, I had a, a person I was working on recently, and I gave her, she was quite new to my work, but she'd done a lot of personal development work, uh, and it was just a friend. So I was just doing a session for her and, um.
At the end, she was like, oh, so you release all this? Like, do I have to go over it? Do I have to do anything? And I was like, do I have to understand how it got there? Do I? And I was like, no. Like, 'cause she's so used to doing all this other like belief work and stuff where it's like a lot of like, you have [00:26:00] to go in and process and feel and like un uncover and dig it out.
And I was like, no. Like you can look at it and you can like, thank it. You know, like acknowledge that these things were here. Uh, it's like it is for your own information. Like I've already released it all for you. You don't have to do anything. Like just the body is gonna process it. And then, you know, most people don't really feel anything during processing, which is amazing.
You know, it's not like other modalities as well, which I love. Where like, you don't have to go and like talk about it and bring the emotions up and Right. Know's like crying or relive. Traumatized and No. Yeah, no, you don't even have to think about it at all. If you don't wanna, like, and we don't have to talk about it.
Like, if you wanna come and like, you don't even wanna tell me anything. Like, as long as I know the symptoms, you know, like I can, I can see that
Julie Howton: starting point.
Beth McIntyre: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, yeah, I just, it's just. Oh, it's just my favorite, like yeah,
Julie Howton: I, I, I can tell you have [00:27:00] found your, your calling.
Beth McIntyre: Yeah,
for
Julie Howton: sure.
Beth McIntyre: Yeah.
Julie Howton: And I, I think that's, uh, amazing. You must have people ask you all the time to do like friends and family, to do, you know, a session here, session. Not
Beth McIntyre: really.
Julie Howton: Really, I
Beth McIntyre: think I don't, I don't know if it's just like
Julie Howton: they might be afraid. They will, it's gonna
Beth McIntyre: happen. Or like, they don't, not afraid, but like they, so when I was doing my certifications, we have to do like X number of people.
Julie Howton: Sure.
Beth McIntyre: Uh, and I just used, at the time, I just wanted to help my friends and family. So a lot of people, they'll go, there's like Facebook group and they'll, or if they have previous clients, they'll ask them, you know, and they'll. Use on random people, but I was like, oh, just help me so much. I wanna help my friends and family.
So I only wanted to work with my friends and family, so I was just asking them and I was like, will you volunteer? Uh, and some of them saw changes, but then I, and then others saw changes, but then. They weren't [00:28:00] kind of into this work, any kind of personal development work, especially like this more Wooo side of personal development work.
And they were like, oh yeah, I've seen changes, but like, I don't know if it's from what you did see me. Yeah. They're like, oh yeah, I've been feeling better, but like. Uh, was it from what you did? Like, you know, I've also been doing this and this and this,
Julie Howton: right. Skeptics, which is healthy like nothing. I, I am a natural born skeptic.
Like, there's nothing wrong with that. I'm also very open, so I, I got both sides covered. Um, so yeah. And, and typically when you're working, you know how, I don't know how you structure how you're working now. Mm-hmm. Is it multiple sessions? Is it, tell me like what people, so I
Beth McIntyre: have different ways. So like, 'cause my business is still fairly new, so I have just, clients has come for.
As many sessions as they want, like until they're finished. But I think once clients find that like it's really helping, they like want to do it like, like they're hooked and they're like, how often can I [00:29:00] go? How often can I see you? So I do sessions in person and we do a lot of like email sessions, so everything's remote.
Like everything can be done remotely or zoom or phone call. Um, and then I also do like packages for clients if they wanna save a bit of money, you know, they can buy 10 and use it in like six months or something.
Julie Howton: Gotcha, okay.
Beth McIntyre: Um, and I've just started doing, which I have, like, I've just kind of. Channel this through, I guess, which I'm really excited about is like kind of mentoring people side by side so that I can, I feel like with that increased contact, because I've found in my own personal experience, like I can see things, obviously they can't, like you, you coach, you'd know.
Yeah. And then I can use that in our sessions to, to like, so there's something that's not. Not healing and like they, they tell me these are the symptoms and this is it, and like we are dealing with it. Some things have to come from different angles, especially.
Julie Howton: Sure. I find
Beth McIntyre: complicated issue [00:30:00]
Julie Howton: sometimes the most important direction to go in is something that, that a client might say.
Off the cuff, like thinking Exactly. It's not important. And I
Beth McIntyre: exactly know, like
Julie Howton: I get goosebumps and I'm like, Ooh,
Beth McIntyre: that's it. Yeah, it's
Julie Howton: that thing.
Beth McIntyre: You don't know exactly that thing,
Julie Howton: but it's that thing.
Beth McIntyre: And that's what I, I can pick that up from like email communication and when they come in, but like prolonged contact, like if you're in contact every day, like with kind of like side by side coaching kind of thing, I can see all that every day.
The more communication we have. So all that. That's gonna be amazing. So I've paired that with like a kind of a, a one-on-one container with the sessions per week in a monthly basis so that then I can see that. And then if they have issues as they're going through. Then once I can look at that and be like, Hey look, this is still going on, but I can like see this, that you are, you're clearly blind to, which obviously we all have our blind spots and like yeah, like you said, like I can, that's pinging at me like I [00:31:00] know nothing.
But you keep saying that you are like, you don't even probably realize you're saying that's where we have to go.
Julie Howton: Yeah.
Beth McIntyre: So yeah, I'm really excited about that. That's
Julie Howton: exciting. I, I can imagine the results people are gonna get. Um, and so to, to kind of recap, 'cause they're not really. You have, it's three certifications, but these are not separate, totally separate modalities.
So the body, no, they're all, the body code is the, the overarching, and within that you have the emotion code and the belief code as well.
Beth McIntyre: Mm-hmm.
Julie Howton: Correct.
Beth McIntyre: Yeah. Yeah. So I, I don't know if like, obviously if you're not on video, you won't be able to see this.
Julie Howton: Yeah,
Beth McIntyre: you can see, oh, sorry, my can't there, there's the, that's the body code.
Julie Howton: Mm-hmm.
Beth McIntyre: So if you then go into here, you've got the, this is the emotional part, and then whatever, but then inside that I'm not really. [00:32:00] Inside That's, you can't say, but that's the emotion code.
Julie Howton: Understand, even for people, you know, listeners that are only listening on audio, you know, they, they've heard it enough about, you know, we are these interconnected, complex.
So it makes, it makes perfect sense to me. And I was actually really excited when I, when I found out about the, the belief code. I don't know, when did that come out?
Beth McIntyre: Um, you know, so it's quite recent. I think the certification only came out like a couple of years ago. Okay. Like, it's very, 'cause they, like you said, it wasn't originally by Dr.
Brad. Uh, and then they worked with the, it was called, uh, T three. I think like transformational therapy or something like that.
Julie Howton: Mm-hmm.
Beth McIntyre: And then they, they were, I think the people that that, um, made that they were students. They'd also done the emotion code and the body code.
Julie Howton: Right.
Beth McIntyre: And then they'd kind of like, come on.
And they, [00:33:00] Dr. Brad saw it and then they were working together to kind of like build it out more. And then I think they ended up selling the rights for them and they took it over and then they were. Really like building it out.
Julie Howton: Yeah. For the
Beth McIntyre: last,
Julie Howton: well, and it makes perfect sense because it's, yeah. It's, it's so aligned.
And again, I feel like the, the technique and the system. Of the body code is Yeah. Is just the perfect modality to
Beth McIntyre: Yeah.
Julie Howton: I I call it clearing and
Beth McIntyre: it works. Yeah. It's clear
Julie Howton: limiting beliefs, you know?
Beth McIntyre: Yeah. That's what we do. Yeah. And it's like, it's, it actually, that was perfect because what you do is like, you literally clear them and the thing is like, you don't, they go on, like literally they're gone.
Like, I've done this on myself. And even as I love that I can literally do this on myself, like it was just the other day where I was. I was, I noticed something was like bothering me and then I was checking a balance and stuff. I do, and then a belief system came up and I released, it took like [00:34:00] 20 minutes and then I literally thought about that same thing and like the energy that I felt towards it was like gone.
And I was like, wow, it's so incredible at how that can change. Like in literally like. 20 minutes and yeah, I can, I can feel that shift. Like, you know, it doesn't take me like, like weeks, years, months or whatever. Like it's literally I can change that and then like I know that pattern won't happen again because that energy that I had towards it, it is like, it's gone.
Yeah. Where's it gone? It's gone and yeah, it's cleared. And it makes perfect sense. Like you said, that they, it's so in line because what you find with the belief code also is that, um. When you find the system, there are normally like things keeping it in place and those like other imbalances that kind of like hold it in place and all, most of the time the all the other imbalances are trapped emotions.
So like when you release those trapped emotions, then the belief system becomes destabilized because it's no longer got that emotional energy towards it. And then like the beliefs just become like clear, clear, [00:35:00] clear, clear. It's nothing anymore.
Julie Howton: That's fantastic. Amazing, amazing work. So we're at the point of the podcast where listeners know it's time to lean in and hear what you think.
One step they can take starting today to improve their health would be,
Beth McIntyre: well, I think if you get the book, the Emotion Code, you can listen to it and. Even if you don't wanna reach out to a practitioner, you can literally start yourself today. Um, I love it. Learn to muscle test, which is quite simple. It's like the, I think people over complicate it, but there's many ways which are all laid out in the emotion c book.
Uh, and what's your favorite way?
Julie Howton: I'm just curious. What do you use?
Beth McIntyre: I used the, the ring and ring one, but I started with the sway test because at the beginning when I started, I didn't know, I had never done muscle [00:36:00] testing before. So I started with the sweet test,
Julie Howton: which
Beth McIntyre: is very easy. I think some people like the pendulum as well.
I think it's quite popular.
Julie Howton: Mm-hmm.
Beth McIntyre: But I, I now not, I feel confident that I always use this, the same one
Julie Howton: at joking race. Me too. I was, that's why I was curious. So, yeah. Amazing. Well, and it's interesting when I, when I was doing belief work with a, a theta healer, um, and I didn't. I didn't, you know, the thing you don't know at the ti at the time, but, you know, I, we were always, she was always having me use this way test.
I, and I hadn't. I just did what I was told 'cause I wanted to do the work, you know? Um, and then after later on when I learned the muscle testing. Um, it was like, oh, that's what she was doing the whole time. We were just muscle testing. Okay.
Beth McIntyre: Yeah. Yeah. And I found that sometimes someone said that to me, like, um, like a woman that I, she does the work as well, but she, she like talks to your intuition a lot and then she'll like [00:37:00] channel things from other people's intuition and stuff.
And then someone said to me, oh, you know, she's muscle testing. Like, there's some certain questions you can see, like, it's not so obvious, but like you can see she would like do like this one or like, and she would just go, mm-hmm. And you can like see that as well. I'm like, oh, even like everyone uses it.
Julie Howton: I have been known to use it in conversation too.
Just check in. So that's,
Beth McIntyre: it's very useful. You know, like it's sometimes I find like, uh, some clients will come to me and they'll be like, oh, you know, like, I'm feeling this intuitively. Can you. Check if this is, this is my intuition verify. Yep, you're right. Like just, just follow it.
Julie Howton: I love it. That's great.
So for people that are listening on the go and they aren't gonna pull up the show notes, where's the best place to find you?
Beth McIntyre: Uh, so on my Instagram, but you can just find the, I go there directly. I have a web link, uh, BEM healing.com. Uh, I'm in the process [00:38:00] of making my website, so that will eventually be a link to my website, but right now it just links straight to my Instagram, uh, and you can find all my details there.
Julie Howton: Nice. And it's BEM healing on Instagram as well.
Beth McIntyre: Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
Julie Howton: Nice. Wonderful. Well, Beth, we so appreciate you waking up at the crack of dawn this morning to join us for this conversation. You have given everybody so much value and so much to consider, and I, I love your one step. I, I concur. I think people can, should go get the book, get the emotion code, listen to it, read it, play with it.
Yeah. And then, you know, find best.
Beth McIntyre: Yeah, find me. Oh, there are also, like, there's me of course, uh, I'm amazing. But they're also on the website Discover Healing. There are thousands of practitioners and there's actually like a, they have a practitioner map. Um, so if you prefer in-person sessions, I think. Most practitioners do remote, like I do remote, but I also [00:39:00] do in person.
So if you do prefer in person and you're not where I am, I'm in Adelaide in Australia. Um, there you can go onto the map and it shows all the practitioners by their location.
Julie Howton: Nice.
Beth McIntyre: Um, and you can check them out. Obviously every person has a different practitioner that speaks to them.
Julie Howton: Sure.
Beth McIntyre: Um, so, but there are thousands of them now, like so amazing that there's so many more people doing this work.
We need it. But yeah, if you, if you wanna get started straight away without having to learn, you can just find a practitioner and book in straight away and I totally recommend it. That's. Lefthand.
Julie Howton: Yeah, as do I. Beth, thank you so much Again. Thank you for getting up so early. Thank. Thank you. Thank you so much for
Beth McIntyre: having me.
This is
Julie Howton: really fun for what you're bringing to the world.
Beth McIntyre: Thank
Julie Howton: you. So for everyone listening, remember, you can get the show notes and transcripts by visiting inspired living.show. Hope you had a great time and enjoyed this episode as much as I did. I'll see you next week. [00:40:00]
