Someone was having a problem with a script given on the EFT Forum for Weight Control. This is what she said.
I could barely say it. If you hate your body as much as I do mine, you simply can't love and accept, or even try, choose, believe maybe that you can love and acept. It just doesn't sound true. Why would anyone love and accept my body? Haven't they eyes to see? The Pyschology and History of Beauty are pretty straight forward. All the inner stuff is the crutch ugly people use. Not that a person can't be happy and useful without beauty. I am such a visual person. I hardly think anything else matters, be it my body or my surroundings.
Here is my response to her:
Thank you for sharing your vulnerability.
The focus is on yourself & your body. Discover your stories, beliefs & events that have created triggers. You can either clear them yourself or find a coach that can help direct you.
Here are some set-up phrases that might help trigger the right ones for you.
Even though:
there is a part of me that hates my body, I accept that part of me.
there is another part of me that wants to love my body but_________ I'm not sure how~I accept that part of me
there is a conflict between the part that hates my body with the part that doesn't know how to love my body. I accept that there is this conflict that's been going on forever.
I am a visual person & I have a high standard of beauty. There is a part of me that fears I am ugly, I accept that part.
I believe the inner stuff is the crutch ugly people use, I accept this part of me.
there is a part of me that feels I am ugly, I accept this part.
These phrases are for you to use as a spring board. You can change the words to better suit how you feel or you can read it word for word. Do what works best for you. When you tap, pay attention to the gifts that you subconscious mind is giving you: memories to heal.
Let me know if I can be of any help.
Her response:
Thank you. That is much more approachable start. I was trying to get to the point where I would consider that I/people have some value other than physical appearance but honestly. I am just not a people person in terms of interaction. I simply don't enjoy them. Yet I love to go to a city and be surrounded by all sorts. I am a people watcher, like the old men on the park bench.
Anyway, there are so many people on this forum that are so emeshed in their hang ups, that the love and accept part is just too much to handle. I appreciate the time you took to write an alternative that is a believable start.
I will try it right now.:)
BTW, I have started an I Love My Body Club on Facebook. You are all invited to join.
