Everyone has their own experiences and opinions. I will just add that I know a colleague who works at a plastic surgeon's office. The doctor hired her after he came to realize that many of his patients wanted to have repeated surgeries never really being completely satisfied with what they had. He understood that what happens in the mind is ...

  Hello Teann,  I hear your repeated frustration running through the many posts you have on the forum. Of course I try to address your particular concerns and challenges while understanding that I can't possibly get to know the particulars of your personal situation through emails. I also think that my advice is here to serve ...

 Hi Teann, So here you happen to be describing one of the biggest challenges I see with folks who use EFT on their own. This is not how EFT works. We aren't drumming in negatives- we are clearing them. The only way those positive reframes ever "land" (including affirmations about changing anything even bodies) is to clear what ...

 Okay that's a good place to start. List all the earliest memories you have of not being able to be "show up" my sister and tap. See what else might be there related to that as you use EFT. Also look for any times in your past that others either made you feel inadequate or you yourself did especially around your body or ...

Hi Teann, This really sounds like a core issue in the guise of not being happy with your body. This was likely a strategy that you used in childhood- find the roots and dig it out to be free of it for good. When was it not valued that you tried your best? What were the reprecussions of not getting it right? Who or what drove you to feel that ...

Hi Hysterp, Deborah will get pinged and respond to this post but I also wanted to add that I do a lot of work with pregnancy (I used to be a doula many moons ago) and have never had an abreaction using EFT. The way that I like to work with the trimesters is simply to work on issues in the past during the first, the present issues especially body ...

Hi Marion, I had a feeling I would be hearing from you soon. That's wonderful news! It's amazing how so many people just accept the status quo even if it is lousy. You had the courage to walk through and take the appropriate steps towards healing and now you are beginning to reap the rewards. I am so happy for you! Blessings, Alina

 One more suggestion with Candida is that you can treat it like an energy toxin/sensitivity- "Even though my body responses negatively to sugar/wheat/?, I deeply and completely love and accept myself" You can also follow up with how the person feels about this invasion to their system and find the relevant early memories that ...

 There are no "one size fits all" statements in EFT and many people especially at the beginning don't quite get that. I would begin by asking what symptoms she is having and listen for the way she describes it. If she says itchy, foggy head, funk then ask what in your live can you describe as being in a foggy itchy funk. Ask ...

 Hi there,  I like to ask people this way, "If you could wave a magic wand and take care of one thing today that would signficantly improve the quality of your life today what would that be?" Many things are so intricately connected anyway you might see more than one thing collapse in one session. It's your choice. I have ...
