Positive results

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone -

Sorry this is long but I feel it's important.

I'd been approaching 4S from a psychological point of view and Marsha

has shown that it is (also) physical so I've gone about it now with a

double-barreled approach. The new aspect of my 4S work has been

aimed at the physical and I am getting somewhere with it!!!

Some background:

I have been a daily black-out drinker, given up relationships, quit

jobs, used earplugs, walkmans and IPods. I have stared down people

in the grocery store and even deliberately jostled loud-walking

people walking down the street. I have raged and hated so much I

became dissociated and exhausted. I have a history of abuse as a

child so 4S is a double-whammy for me as I'll often get flashbacks

when triggered. The latest job I quit involved a guy who cleared his

throat every few moments and footsteps that continued back and forth

(and back and forth) beside my cubicle all day. (That was after I'd

gotten myself moved from a different throat clearer along with a loud

eater.) I stomped my feet and cleared my throat - mimicking the

triggers - until I was hoarse and had shin splints, and ya' know

what? It didn't work. None of it worked. I stayed in a rage.

I was delighted to find this website: I know I'm not the only person

who has a painful dark secret and that the reason for all of this is

not psychological. Although this website is a great place to let

off steam, I need to DO something - I've been like this for FORTY

years: I've had this same physical neuronal loop running for 40

years. How many of the young people with 4S have to go 40 years or

more? I mentioned a few months ago that I was going to try EFT (let

me know if you want info). After all, if it works for rheumatoid

arthritis and diabetes, why wouldn't it work for 4S?

There are no known root causes for RA or diabetes nor for 4S and this

is why using EFT made sense to me:

Part of what I've read about 4S (I think I should credit Marsha

) is: " It is suspected that the loss of inhibitory functions

of the efferent system of the auditory pathways (from brain to ear)

plays a role in hyperacusis. Changes have been noted in areas from

the outer ear to the brain stem areas, and possibly higher, to

support this idea, over the past ten years. " Ms. has

developed a system of TRT and pink noise that would accustom the ear

to the 4S frequency(s) and quiet the brain stem response to those

sounds.

I started working with an EFT Master (a truly gifted man) and I've

been tapping the " regular " gamut (not sure what the real term is for

it) and I used variations of the phrase " Even though my brain stem

has trouble staying calm when hearing these frequencies (or these

sounds), I deeply and completely accept myself. My brain stem can

relax now - it must relax now. " " I choose peace. " Etc etc. And

here's what happened: a few days later I heard the bass booming of a

car going by and in the split-second that I started to react with

anger, my " system " stopped and I recognized that this is not how it

works anymore. The same thing happened when I heard some children

screaming and a few days later at sloppy footsteps. I still got

triggered but it was so minor - and this is just the beginning. I've

been doing it for just a few months.

I will keep you updated as to my progress. I'm pretty psyched. I

realize that Marsha has probably not had the chance to look into this

yet and she knows the protocols that are currently in place that work

(as she posted previously) - but you can download the EFT manual for

free and look it over. As I said, I've been suffering for 40 years

and have been in " treatment " of one sort or another for 18 years now

trying to find a way to live a quieter life. The sounds of life will

continue around me - they always will - the quiet I seek is from

within and I can get there - I will - I have to.
