Does anyone have practical experience using EFT working around steroids, pain meds., and sports medicine? If so, please comment on whether you found that these substances had any effect on the effectiveness of EFT as well as any other comments you might have regarding the use of EFT on professional athletes using performance enhancing medicines. I am specifically interested in steroids and EFT, but appreciate any other imputs as well,

thank you,

Don

Elizabeth,

Great job!!! You had him see the cause of his arthritis was emotional--very good!

What I do is ask my clients to check into the part of their body that is giving them pain and ask for the intensity of the pain. I ask questions about where it is at and what kind of sensations they are having right then, and I write it down. Then I ask what is upsetting them right then. I find out the intensity of the emotion and write that down.When we tap, we usually tap on the emotion. I try to get them moving energy. Some ways to do that is to have them:

be loud
yell
inhale and exhale consciously
laugh

Some ways to tell that they are moving energy

more color in their face
see they have perspired
burping
farting
yawning
laughing
sighing

He might be shut way down and feeling numb. How did he feel about his wife arriving at the scene? Some set-up phrase might be, Even though:

I felt _________________ when my wife saw me after I was robbed, and I accept myself my wife saw me, and I feel ________I didn't want her to see me that way...
I don't know how to feel certain emotions. Maybe there is a part of me that is afraid of what I might do...

Hope this helps,
JoAnn

Elizabeth,

Great job!!! Thank you for sharing your successes.

You had him agree the cause of his arthritis was emotional--he is eager to be healed. I just had an insight, do you think that he may feel that he has to be punished for his wife seeing him being robbed?

When we tap, we usually tap on the emotion. I try to get them moving energy. Some ways to do that is to have them:

be loud

yell

inhale and exhale consciously

laugh

Some ways to tell that they are moving energy

burping

He might be shut way down and feeling numb. How did he feel about his wife arriving at the scene? So, Even though:

I felt _________________ when my wife saw me after I was robbed, and I accept myself

my wife saw me, and I feel ________I didn't want her to see me that way...

it is hard for me to express my feelings about the robbery, and I am OK.

Hope this helps,
JoAnn

Hello Elizabeth,

You are welcome!!!

The more you do it, and read about it--the better you will be able to use it.

Let me know how it goes with your angry client. My guess he has some deep emotional pain under the anger. The anger is could be a big shield to protect him.

Gratefully yours,

JoAnn

Hello Elizabeth,

Welcome to our forum!!!

First, I would like to recommend that you tap on yourself about dealing with his anger.

I like to refer to Louise Hay's I Can Heal My Life. In it, she refers to the emotional cause of arthritis:

feeling unloved
criticism
resentment

For knee problems:

stubborn ego and pride
inability to bend
fear
inflexibility
won't give in

You could ask him if he would like to know about what came what when you researched the emotional cause of arthritic knees. Then you could tell him you are not sure if any of these may fit for him and ask if any of them are true for him. In fact, which one is the most true. And tell him, that possibly his knee hurts more when there is something he hasn't or isn't dealing with. If he agrees, then I would measure the intensity of the pain of his knee right then. Have him show you were it hurts and what number out of 10.

Then work on whatever emotional issue is biggest for him. Have him be specific. Tap on that emotion. As the intensity drops--ask how his knee feels.

An added approach would be to ask when did his knee start hurting. What big event was going on arouind the same time? Then clear that event.

Hope this helps.

Gratefully yours,

JoAnn

Please shine some light for me

Hi,

Welcome to our site!!!

Have you been tapping for the physical pain? That is a good starting point, but when it doesn't work, it is important to deal with emotional issues.

What was going on in your life in terms of traumatic events when you first started noticing the pain? If there is something you can remember, then you could tap on that event to clear it...

Who or what is a pain in your butt right now? Do you find yourself saying, "_____ is a pain in the butt"? If so, tap on that. For example, here could are some set-up phrases that you can play with, Even though:

I feel angry at _______________ for being a pain the butt, I deeply and completely love and accept myself
I feel frustrated because I have been using EFT for a year, and I haven't found any results...

I am thinking that you haven't gone deep enough yet. You need to get to the emotional issues.

Maybe your hip and knee are like a barometer telling you that you need to deal with your emotional issues. When you deal with them, the pain may go away.

After you do some rounds of tapping, do some deep listening to notice if you get any insights. If you do, tap on those.

Also, you may want to go to a chiropracter or other body worker--just to get that part handled.

Please let me know if any of this helps.

Gratefully yours,

JoAnn
