Guest guest Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 Hello, I'm new to EFT as I just took the workshop on April 12 although I've known about it for almost 10yrs. I'm a medical massage therapist and wanted to find a way to help patients with chronic pain. I massaged a woman today with MS and asked her if she would be willing to do EFT with me. The issue she picked to work on was her phobia about going into the gym she joined 9yrs ago and never went back inside. We tapped on her " fear of going to the gym " and the anxiety level went from 10 to 6. We tapped again using PR and 9 gamut and it went from 6 to 3. We tapped again and it didn't go down any further. When I probed her about what she was afraid of, she said she felt very self conscious about limping and going into the gym with a cane, that people would stare at her. We tapped on that and the discomfort level went down to 0. I asked her if she wanted to go to the gym and she agreed. I drove her to the gym, sat in the car while she went in alone. (going in alone was part of the terror) When she came out after going on a tour of the gym, she was so excited that she would be going swimming tomorrow. I congratulated her and was delighted that I contributed to this experience. Anyone else have any experiences with MS and EFT?

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Although Evy has come so very far, he still has so many deficits. Most of these deficits include a weakness in the realm of the abstract. For instance, he can't visualize or talk about his day in school easily, or what he had for breakfast, or describe a fantastic field trip the morning after it happened. He doesn't question WHY very often, and rarely probes into how things work. WELL... This morning, I was conversing with Evy about love. He likes to tell us when he's angry that he is not our son/brother anymore, or that I am not his Mom. He can turn on a dime from saying " I love you " to " I hate you. " This doesn't hurt my feelings or anything. It just demonstrates the literalness of his thought. When things go well, I love you. If I'm mad, I hate you. Cut and dry. Not very abstract. So this morning, as we cuddled in bed, I had our talk about how I love him even when he chooses the wrong, or is unkind. It is a talk I have always had with the boys, in an effort to teach the concept of unconditional love. So this morning, Evy finally shows a glimmer of understanding. I said, " I love you even when you break my things. " And he looks confused and says, " But you get mad! " Aha! So I responded, " But even when I am angry with you, I still love you! " This led me to tell him about God/Jesus--that they still love him even when he makes a mistake. Evy replies, " I wish Jesus lived here. " Then he asked, " Where does Jesus live? " I replied, " In heaven. " He responded, " Is it very far away? " (Do you see why I got excited? A real abstract conversation!) I was so excited at him asking tough, non-literal questions. It just made my day! I hope you can understand how momentous this was! A small miracle. Thought I'd share! Merry Christmas! t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
