Tapping Example from a Client Story! God is so Good!

With permission I recount this client (Jennie) story:

EFT Tapping is such a versatile tool. Here is a practical use of it!

Jennie was having anxiety and some fear around this her upcoming colonoscopy appointment.

And so we tapped on all the different aspects (details) that were bothering her including:

1). Fear of what the doctor might find

2). Anxiety about the procedure itself, including the sedation

3). Anxiety about the awful prep including the diet, as the allowable pre-test foods are things Jennie doesn't usually eat!

4). Fear of catching COVID at the clinic

5). Inconvenience of needing to go to clinic 2 days early to get a COVID test

6). Anxiety about previous prep reactions - feeling horribly cold, shaking, and generally feeling miserable

7). Anxiety about trying to remember to take some car seat protective covering in case of an accident.

8). Fear about getting an IV pre-op, reactions to the anesthetic, and whatever else we tapped about!

PRAISE REPORT

Wonderfully, the following morning I receive a phone call! Jennie is now actually excited to get this colonoscopy done and over. Yes, read that! Excited!

Her reframe (changing of our mind) is she is going to ENJOY the 5 day prep! After looking at the dietary list, she realized she would buy and eat foods she loves but rarely eats because they don't fit into her lifestyle right now. She planned to TREAT herself to something special!

Jennie wrote out her menus and created her grocery list. She also wrote out a time line of what had to be done when in order to eliminate re-reading the pages and pages of instructions. Nothing would be missed or mixed up now!

==========================================

This is EXACTLY what EFT tapping often does for us!

As we tap God "reframes" and changes our mind about thing to come and things that have happened in the past, so that we can settle down and enjoy His presence right here right now in a state of grace without worry or preoccupation.

Tapping does so much more than just this, but if we just used it for issues of today, what a wonderful gift from our Lord!

What have you recently tapped about that God gave you an exciting gift as He switched up your emotions?  Leave me a message, so I can rejoice with you!

How EFT Works as Presented by a Different EFT Practitioner

"The "Over focusing" on the past is usually quite different with EFT. You focus on it long enough to release the trapped emotion (blocked energy) and rewire your neural circuits to no longer respond with emotional intensity to the memory. you usually won't forget the events but with completed EFT the memories carry the same emotional charge as remembering Columbus sailed the oceans blue in 1492.

While not a usual result, i have one client tap on a time when he was about 8-10 years old and was dropped off at military academy. His father had told him they would just check it out but once he met the principle his suitcase was unloaded and his father drove off.

It was over 30 years earlier that this event happened. It took 2 and half sessions to thoroughly go through all the parts "aspects" of the event and a few months later he reported he had not been that happy in years. His depression was gone and he felt like a new person....even while carrying the license plate number of the car his father drove away in. He reported looking at it but it just didn't trigger the old feelings anymore....he had made peace with the past or released the attached emotions or rewired his neurons around that memory or released his blocked energy (which ever explanation works best for you).

In later experiences with other clients it seems to be true that the higher number of traumas a person has and or the lower level of assistance they had as a child in learning how to manage their emotions the less likely you'll get an "instant cure all" result.

Still you do gain a lasting significant level of peace with each event you resolve with EFT. (NOTE: you may not get every part or aspect of an event the first time you go through it....sometimes you get one part resolved but then your body/mind takes you to the next layer below which you didn't know was even there because the first layer was what was getting your attention. So sometimes you may need to "redo/tap again" on an event to get a few missed parts or aspects cleared up. But once you do, you can reasonably expect long term fixes.

In short you really only focus on a specific piece of/event in the past just long enough to make peace with it and then move on to the next issue of concern... EFT is not just a regurgitation of the same old things over and over again.

For myself (EFT aside) I personally believe and encourage my clients to use the past to learn from (so you don't keep making the same mistakes) and make peace with it....beyond that you should be looking forward to where you feel God is leading you in the future....but sometimes we need to make peace with the past so we can cut the hidden reins controlling our present and future.

I firmly believe God designed us to live freed from stress, the past and other emotional baggage so we can more fully live freed for a life that matters for eternity."

EFT & Memory Fragmentation for Practitioners

This article outlines several important facts for us as we tap with trauma victims.

Trauma tends to fragment memories, totally distorting what actually happened. As an EFT coach, none of this matters. I always say truth in trauma is irrelevant. It's all about perception and that perception becomes the client's truth.

Our job is to go with whatever the client brings to the table to tap about. Truth or perception, it all has to be neutralized, if the client is to heal.

Remember that "trauma capsule" we discussed in class? The author talks about it in the latter part of this article. A client may remember what happened before the trauma and what happened after the trauma, but little is remember DURING the trauma. All the memories of the trauma specifically are often hidden away and buried by the subconscious in that "trauma capsule".

It is a protective mechanism. The trauma was too severe and too awful to actually remember.

In the end the details of what actually happened don't matter.

So, again, tap whatever the client brings to the table. Be thorough with all the different aspects. Dig, if you must, to find all those sensory specific details that lock this trauma in place. Ask tons of questions, too, if you feel the trauma needs further clearing.

Once this is thoroughly accomplished, you will have changed the client's life forever. It really is akin to a miracle!

Questions? Fire away!
