Hi Enys, OCD is about that person exercising any control they can in their lives because they feel completely out of control and unsafe and that is very frightening. Your son has been through a lot. Maybe the incident with the local boys is the straw that broke the camel's back for him. The eczema he had as a child sounds like a ...

Hi Divine seeker, Obviously the more experienced the practitioner, the more adept they are at asking revealing questions and seeing the relevance of seemingly unrelated memories and words the person uses. But intention is really important when doing surrogate EFT which is why Gary Craig talks about the importance of "getting ourselves out of ...

Hi Arum, It does when there are emotional contributors to the physical issue (which there often are!), it's one of the great side (or direct) benefits of EFT ;-) The subconscious mind is our body so by tapping on physical issues we're also tapping into the subconscious too. It's another door into it so to speak. You may even find ...

[quote user="Emergo"]All in all, EFT seems like so much hard work to me. I've been doing it on my CFS for 2 years now and - despite progress - still feel ill. Combined with the things I've mentioned above, I feel doubt creeping up.[/quote] Hi Marc, My advice is to start right here, this is how you honestly feel so tapping on ...

Hi, The best place to start is where you're at. Start with that overwhelm and not knowing where to start. Even though I'm a bit overwhelmed by all this and I don't really know where to start, I choose to start with how I am feeling right now.

That's what I do ;-) If you do see something upsetting start tapping immediately and keep going until the feelings calms down. Do you have a ...

 Hi Kevin, I see it as being emotionally honest instead, the word negative is a label we put on our issues. We also identify with the issues and feel bad. We feel what happened to us is a reflection of who we are. Your body, your mind and your spirit know you feel this way so by identifying, admitting and voicing how you feel is a relief in ...

 Hi Uhu, I say to you what I have had to put into practice myself and still do! Allowing your feelings the right to exist is one of the kindest things you can do for yourself right now as Jo says, no matter what they are. Stopping our feelings or resisting them because they are too painful will prolong our suffering. This is where EFT comes ...

 Great article, thanks for sharing it. Noreen.

Hi Uhu, We need to remember we are not responsible for another's behaviour towards us, or their behaviour in general, no matter how hurtful or 'horrible'. It is never about us but what they do is trigger our stuff. And of course we return the favour! What we do have control over is how we respond. What we usually do is react however - ...
