Hello dear EFT'ers

 I have been trying to think back to when my current physical problems started and as I was writing out the time line of events, I suddenly thought to check when exactly that earthquake I experienced was. I was living in Seattle in 2001 and experienced the 6.8 earthquake there in February and it scared me out of my mind. I thought I was going to die - when the shaking started, I did exactly what you're not supposed to do - I ran out of my office, down the hallway and outside to the parking lot.The pavement of the parking lot looked like an ocean with waves on and I saw my car with my dog in the front seat standing up with terror in her eye.Talk to survival fear!!!

And it seems that it was after that that I noticed a ringing in my ears, that summer I noticed my hair was starting to thin (and it hasn't stopped since), acne in many places. I have tried x number of different therapies over the years and nothing has ever improved any of those conditions. Now, that I work with EFT, could it be that the root is in the earthquake because I experienced it as life-threatening?

I might ad that I now live in the San Francisco area and not a day goes by that I don't wonder if today will be the day for that earthquake everyone is expecting. (I will be very happy to be moving to Eastern Canada later this year- away from these powerful earthquake zones).

I will try to work with this over the weekend. I would love to hear from others who have experience with similar scenarios - or who have suggestions.

Have a great weekend everybody!

Helle - it sounds like you have found a very possible, if not probable, contributor to your issues.  I'd suggest that you use the Movie Technique or the Tell the Story Technique on the earthquake to be really thorough (if it is really frightening to even think about it though, start with the Tearless Trauma Technique.)  Make sure you tap on the image of your dog and anything else you saw or heard that frightened you.  Once you have tapped through the whole event thoroughly I'd suggest turning your mind to what beliefs you may have taken on about your safety or the safety of the world as a result of this, and tap on each of them too.  One way to work that would encompass the Movie Technique and the beliefs is Matrix Reimprinting - if you aren't aware of it search on it on the forums - there are quite a few posts on it now.

Happy tapping!
