greetings to all,

 I am new to the forums, but not so much to EFT itself. I have been through a great deal of trauma both emotional (both parents dying quite young and then running from an abusive b/f, who stalked me for a time. he's out of the picture now, so that's good), and physical (major car accident, coma, some paralysis, which thankfully healed eventually, but a back and neck injury that hasn't quite yet) in just the last 5 or so years. My body suffered a great deal, as did my emotional life. I haven't been able to maintain relationships, because I have felt like there must be something wrong with me to allow someone like my ex in my life, and I have also felt a burden, when I can't contribute as much as like, both in terms of being physically present, and in terms of being able to contribute financially. I don't expect a man to 'take care of me', but I have been unable to work, and have had to live on a small disability stipend. So I have stopped dating, for now.  It's been quite a challenge emotionally and financially, but I believe in the power of God's grace. I have never starved, though, at times it looked like I might. Someone/something always came through. I was only homeless for a month, And I've had to reframe a lot of my thinking, as I used to be the one to take care of everyone else, both emotionally and financially. I used to do quite well. The entire experience has been quite humbling.

 Regardless, I have looked on these events as teaching tools, and EFT has brought a lot of relief and healing to my life. I even quit smoking, and it's been well over a year and a half now. I credit that to EFT, and self hypnosis. So, now comes another challenge---asking for help. I have to admit , I feel a bit embarrassed asking. Since I still have some healing to do before I am ready to look for work, I wanted to use the time to study the EFT certification program. However, I don't have the money to spend 150 dollars for the Foundations Library dvd set. I understand that through Mr Craig's generosity in spreading the word, he has allowed those who have purchased these sets the permission to copy up to 100 reprints of these dvds.

 I am wondering if anyone would be willing to send me a copy? I would certainly take care of shipping and handling charges, as I understand these cannot be resold, but I don't think there would be an objection to covering the costs?

I sincerely would appreciate the help. I truly am barely making ends meet, but I remain hopeful and positive that I can get out of this some how, some way, some day. And part of my goal is to be a counsellor, with a focus on those dealing with loss. I hope someone can help me. It would be greatly appreciated.

 Happy Tapping! and thanks for reading,

 Hi, Healing Time.  Although everyone's unique, I too have been healing myself from trauma and loss. I really appreciate the tool of EFT.

I don't own the training DVDs. I just want to say that I support you in your efforts to heal, work again, and even to help others to heal through EFT.

 Thank you. What I love most about EFT is how accessible it is and that while I think in most cases, it's really ideal to have another person, like a practioner working with you, if you don't have the ability for whatever reason to use a practioner, you can take one home with you, so to speak. In the form of yourself, because the basic technique is easy for anyone to learn.So you essentially have a practioner with you always.
