I like this article. It is pretty succinctly states how memory
reconsolidation actually works in clinical settings.
This man states what no one else will really say - that we "erase neural
circuits". We all know it is happening, but in EFT circles we are cautioned not
to actually say that. I just say it! We are changing our neurology with
tapping.
The steps of how to accomplish the memory reconsolidation are all packed
into how EFT is done with the set-up and the tapping.
We ask the client what memory or habit they want changed. We help them
retrieve a memory, or God does, that matches how they feel about the memory or
habit. And then tapping disconnects the circuits holding the feelings around the
memory/habit/event in place, permanently altering it all.
That 5-6 hour window occurs where the memory is friable. In Matrix
Reimprinting we tell clients to go through the process of "re-imprinting" the
changed scene at least once in the ensuing couple of hours.
This may be where doing a floor to ceiling eye roll or the 9 gamut is truly
useful in hardening those positive changes made during the session, integrating
the new message into all parts of the brain anatomy, truly rewiring those
circuits.
The author claims we must make the session "truly experiential". EFT does
that, as we re-ignite by allowing the triggers to come to the surface around the
negative memory or event that haunts us, tapping all the while. God uses
tapping to break down that incessant hardened memory while we set up 2 different
thoughts in our mind.
"We accept" ourselves in spite of what is going on - this bad memory. The
exposure to the problem and just allowing us to be ok with it, or stating we are
ok even if we aren't, or hope we can be someday.
As the amygdala finally gets the message that we are now safe in this
moment of time and that the trauma is now truly over, the hippocampus can put
the memory to bed as a past event.
The author is correct in that it all works in spite of much input from the
"therapist". The coach is the guide to the process, not really much involved
other than directing the client to go where one needs to go to change the
memory, neutralizing it.
Remember, EFT is NOT a substitute for medical care. Please call your own
personal physician in case of a medical emergency.
