Guest guest Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hi Jan, [Moderator: Slight revisions to keep things cool...] I believe it's important to avoid blanket statements are made about therapies. Always clarify that it is your experience only and that other's experience may be different. Also avoid comparison statements like " more than any other therapy because it works and creates the wanted changes better than anything else... " That is a very subjective judgement. Creating a poll here, gives a more objective measurement.... I'm glad it worked for you, but to say " it works...better than anything else " , makes it sound like a fact, rather than saying it worked " for me " better than anything else...you know? I tried it for about 6 sessions about 4-5 years ago and found it didn't make any difference at all -- a total waste of time and money -- for me. I may be the practitioner, but it may also be because it may not address the core causes of our illness -- just parts of it. Anyway, glad to hear it helped you, and I know others have claimed similar benefits! Dan > > Hi Nil, > In the past, I used EMDR extensively for myself and for clients (before this relapse). I found it to be very effective, but emotionally, it could be incredibly painful to experience. Not the kindest therapy. I stopped using it as a therapy method when I found core transformation and timeline therapy which achieved as good or better results without needing to re-experience any of the trauma or emotional pain. These are much kinder and more enjoyable therapies that relieve the suffering, and can be totally transforming. > Since then, as you know, I found EFT which is much quicker than any other therapy I have found, and is also seems to achieve results more reliably. It is easier to learn and can be done yourself more easily. I still like core transformation - I have had some of the most blissful, divine and wonderful experiences with core transformation. I also still like timeline therapy, but they are more time consuming and there have been times with the CFS that I was unable to do them because of the way my brain was working - unable to concentrate or think clearly enough. Most of the time these days, my husband, who has trained in these methods with me, will use EFT more than any other therapy because it works and creates the wanted changes better than anything else. > Let me know if you have any questions about EMDR, or anything else I can help you with. > Kindest regards, > Jan > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Hi Dan I am not Jan but i think she was comparing only emotional release therapies when she wrote that and not other type of therapies.She is very experienced on those type of therapies.I must also say that she later wrote me a private note stating that she did not mean to send that note to the list but privately to me.She mistakenly sent it to the list. So,please think as if she had not sent it to the list. " I may be the practitioner, but it may also be because it may not address the core causes of our illness -- just parts of it. " Also my original question was about releasing traumas and not curing CFS.So, when she said it works better than any other therapies she meant trauma release not CFS cure. I thought i should write this as i know she is not feeling well and also has computer problems at this point and she may not be able to answer you. bw nil Re: off-topic/EFT...

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Thanks for the clarification Nil -- I understand now, and sincerely appreciate what Jan's talking about. These therapies can often be very helpful. I guess my point was that what particular therapy works for one person may not work for another, so we all need to be careful when we post. That being sad, silly me, I wasn't very careful myself! I meant to say " It may be the practitioner... " , instead of " I may be the practitioner " . SORRY to all, Dan > > Hi Dan > > I am not Jan but i think she was comparing only emotional release therapies when she wrote that and not other type of therapies.She is very experienced on those type of therapies.I must also say that she later wrote me a private note stating that she did not mean to send that note to the list but privately to me.She mistakenly sent it to the list.
