I've been suffering from facial acne for more than 2 years now (I'm 21) and have tried everything. When I found out about EFT this was the first thing I addressed. So far, I've hardly seen any change though.
I'm tapping on "Even though I have this acne...", but it doesn't seem to have an effect. It's been days now and I'd expect at least some change, but it's really minimal. I mean I do see some change I guess, but it's not the miracle effect I expected from using EFT.
Perhaps my setup phrase is wrong? I'm guessing that there's some kind of emotional issue in my past that causes the above setup phrase to be only somewhat effective. I'm hoping therefore that if I tap on the underlying issue, the acne will be cured as well. That, at least, is the premise of EFT as I've come to understand it.
So what is it?
I've tried:
"Even though I don't accept myself as I am..."
"Even though I have to be perfect..."
"Even though I'm not seeing any change..."
"Even though EFT doesn't work for me..."
And a few others.
I'm hoping that there's some kind of common emotional cause for acne which I might find in myself as well. Has anyone encountered an acne case which was caused by an easy-to-fix emotional issue?
I'd be grateful for any tips, suggestions, phrases anything.
One last thing (which I kinda just realized now more or less): The acne seemed to get worse after I started building a modeling career. I was just about to get a contract with a modeling agency when my acne got so bad I was too embarassed to face my future employer. I haven't heard from him either. Anything I could address here? Fear of success? I think I tried that already though.
And one more thing: I used to have really bad back acne before my facial acne started, but that took care of its own after a trip to a sunny destination. The facial acne, after receiving the same sunny treatment, reappeared though.
Thank you immeasurably in advance!!
