Thank you for those ideas, Ingrid. Now that I've thought on it some more, my gut feeling is that this may be a case of secondary gain for this client which is then creating PR and resistance to healing. I may be wrong. But it gives me some ideas about things I can possibly address next time with...

Hi, Nancy, I never learned to muscle test well, because my previous career (20+ years as a birth and postpartum doula) really honed my intuition. I can usually guess where my clients are with their intensity, with good accuracy. At the point where this client stopped and decided to work on something...

I have a client who came to me to work through a specific, one-time but very serious trauma. When we first began, she felt too fragile to be willing to work on the incident itself, so we have tapped around it (and on other things) for several months with good success. We're now approaching the first...

Hi Lilla, I am 30 years old and I personally have chronical anxiety issue (beginning age 5). I do not know if finding the core issue is the pre-req. to healing anxiety disorder, but I am making a lot of progress in healing myself by doing so. I am not sure if it is an absolute requirement, but to me...

Jo, Thanks for the suggestions. I find your manual to be very helpful! One more question: How do you generally determine if a technique would "further traumatize" the person before you even begin to use any technique? With the "tell the story" or the "movie technique" I...

hi, in my opinion, the next step would be to deal with emotional issues with your friend. it sounds like the experience with the wheel chair may have been traumatic for him. you can use the movie technique with him (I have included a link with how to do it). how did he feel when that person forcefully...

Hello Jane and welcome to the forum. You can read a lot about how EFT has been used for an enormous variety of conditions at the main web site www.emofree.com . If you search for "seizure" or for "abuse" you will be able to read about other people who have been helped through EFT...

Hi Beth, Thank you so much for joining us on this forum, and for following up. Great for getting that ahhha moment about remembering around dinner time when your dad would come home. There are several approaches that I see. So, about being around dinner time--was there a particular memory that stands...

Hello Felix! Sounds like you are doing a great job sticking with this! If you replay or recall the specific event and the SUDs level increases again, then you are not done with the issue. You need to be able to recall it from all angles and not get a reaction. Usually more of the same type of tapping...
