EFT for complex anxiety and dissociation

This article gives a detailed in depth look at my approaches for working with parts who feel separated and isolated, a common occurrence when there has been early childhood trauma.  This case is particularly relevant as there has been an extreme affect experienced although the original trauma was an unsafe early environment rather than any childhood abuse.


EFT for Intensely traumatic memory - Deserving to Live

Read this creative and insightful use of EFT by Gillian Wightman from Scotland. Her client was dealing with an intense memory of her emotionally disturbed mother trying to kill her. After EFT, Gillian's client says in a subsequent letter, "I had the hardest time remembering much about the whole scenario. Like it was so far away and I couldn't really get a hold of it, it just kept floating away, so that was wonderful. I had had 2 really hard weeks before I talked with you and suddenly I was just so light and just couldn't remember all that stuff,

EFT and TRAUMA

My colleague Marian Mills has written an excellent article on the effects of trauma on our health.  We all think of trauma as being some major event in our lives but this article looks at the effect of more subtle, unacknowledged or conciously unknown traumas and explains why working with a therapist is so beneficial. 


My Own Healing Journey

This article was published by Jo Ainsworth on her excellent website, SelfHeal4Me and is an account of some of the recent challenges I have faced.  I do wish to point out however my own personal understanding of what was happening in my family has radically changed and I do not use the terms mental illness when referring to the situation.  I know now it was all responses to trauma which can be complex and difficult for others to understand.  I fully credit trying to understand this experience and my reaction to it as to how I am now able to work with people who have complex trauma responses.

NB You will note in Garys intro that he advised more efficiency would be gained by tapping on specific events. Whilst I agree long term it is to be noted that my client feels if I pushed her that day to specific event I would have lost her. Working however with metaphors safely brought lasting relief on this particular issue, to this day 4 years later.
