My tendency is to try to help the self-learners of EFT as much as possible. For my blog, I thought that it might be useful to give short, tap-along descriptions of the great assortment of things EFT has helped me with personally. Maybe something you find here will open your mind and give you hope so that you won't feel, "Oh, it won't work for MY problem" (BTW, that's a negative belief and you can tap on that, too!). I hope to inspire you to embrace this amazing tool!

A Nodule Under My Arm
Monday, 22 March, 2010 02:46 PM
Quite a while back now, as I shaved under my arms, I noticed under my left arm that I had a red spot. Sometimes I get little ingrown hairs from a previous shaving and, up until recently, they have always gone away within a few days. This one did not. It got progressively larger and began to hurt. It got to be about the size of a pea under the skin and I was seriously considering going to see a doctor about it but I decided to tap when I was in the shower in the morning. (PLEASE NOTE [...]

Distress Caused by Reading a Book
Wednesday, 30 December, 2009 11:15 AM
This week I was reading Bruce Lipton and Steve Bhaerman's "Spontaneous Evolution". It's an amazing book, as is Bruce Lipton's "Biology of Belief", but there are a couple of chapters that explain some of the realities of our present world and, as I was reading those chapters, I felt such a sense of despair and hopelessness that I didn't want to read any more. I just wanted to put the book down and move on, move away from those feelings. Luckily for me, and for Bruce and Steve, I ha [...]

Can't help my client!
Monday, 14 December, 2009 08:50 PM
I've been doing EFT for a few years with different clients and so far I've had great results. We always make headway and I'm always amazed by EFT's ability to heal and change people's perspectives on any number of emotional issues.

However, a few weeks ago I started doing phone work with a client I've never met (this is my first time working with a client that I haven't met in person) and on a physi [...]

Cold Sores and Female Hormones
Wednesday, 09 December, 2009 07:32 PM
This week I was reading an article on Magic Buttons Bear and how it can sometimes be easier to get to your own issues when tapping on "someone" else (projecting out instead of looking within). I thought I would give it a try so I grabbed my old stuffed Pink Doggy (which might be a rabbit, we've never been sure) and headed into the meditation room for a trial run. My topic was my cold sores.
It seems that every month now at ovulation time I get a cold sore. I used to believe [...]

Guilt Over Not Moving My Brother
Thursday, 27 August, 2009 09:11 AM
Hi there again,This week I worked on some guilt I had. My brother was moving on a Wednesday and I don't have many vacation days left so I had to opt out of helping him. The few people who were able to help him were older members of my family, not strapping young men with muscles. He and his family don't have a lot of money and they're not overly organized. I realized a few aspects of this were bothering me so I began to tap:Even though I'm a bad sister because I'm not helping my broth [...]

Sore Muscles
Tuesday, 11 August, 2009 07:11 PM
Hi everyone,

I went to a special tree climbing place (Arbre-en-Arbre at Mirabel, QC) this past Saturday. It was a real blast but as I'm not much of a sporty person most of the time, my muscles were not used to so much activity.

Sunday and even Monday morning, different parts of my body were not quite so happy about the "fun" they [...]

Employment Beliefs
Wednesday, 22 July, 2009 07:31 PM
Hi all, I was sitting quite happily at work doing some personal stuff on the computer when I realized that I was feeling a bit guilty. Things are quite slow lately with loads of time to do my work and then do some personal stuff. As I analyzed it logically, I felt that I should know myself by now, know that I am not a “slacker”, that when there’s work to be done, I do it, but when there isn’t any I can’t invent it so I can allow myself to do other things. I know th [...]

The Cat Ripping Out Her Fur
Tuesday, 14 July, 2009 01:12 PM
Since I moved in with my boyfriend, I also moved in with his cat. She's a cutey. She's 14 years old and basically pretty quiet.

She has a bit of a thyroid problem for which she takes pills, and which will probably be my next experiment, but she also has a more outwardly  obvious problem: she rips out chunks of her fur around the base of her tail.

Negative Beliefs Around Prosperity/Abundance
Monday, 15 June, 2009 03:25 PM
Lately, I have decided to work on my abundance/prosperity issues regarding my work but more specifically in relation to expanding my monetary wealth in general, feeling more comfortable having more money to do and buy more things for myself (when I stop writing this, I'll need to tap on feeling embarrassed about admitting that I "so selfishly" want more for myself but for now I'll continue explaining what happened last night).

Anger at Being Fed Fear
Monday, 08 June, 2009 08:36 PM
In light of an event in my life this week, I felt the need to clarify something in case I haven't done so previously. The stories that I write in my blog are only some of the problems that I have solved using EFT.

For my blog, I specifically choose those that are resolved over a fairly short time span and which don't take too much digging. This by no means implies that I never have those types of problems nor that I manage to solve ALL my issues with a few quickie lines of EFT.

Grandmother Sadness
Monday, 01 June, 2009 01:12 PM
Hi everyone,

I was in a workshop this past weekend. We were using EFT and TAT to manifest abundance. When one woman laughed between rounds of EFT while telling her story, I unexpectedly saw in her face, in her smile, the face of my grandmother. My grandmother has been dead for over 7 years now but right away I felt a deep sadness come up.

Apartment Hunting Anxiety
Tuesday, 21 April, 2009 12:41 PM
My boyfriend and I are in the process of looking for an apartment to move into. We are both vacating our present locations to move in together so when our leases end on July 1st, like most places in Montreal, we MUST be gone.

We (I) have a million specifications and only a few areas of the city where we're willing to live at the moment. He, I noticed, is very relaxed and nonchalant about it all. He assumes we w [...]

Carpal Pinky?
Monday, 06 April, 2009 02:42 PM
Hi again, it's my privilege to be here to give you little edible EFT tidbits that perhaps you can use in your life.

This afternoon as I was typing and typing and typing a document for my boss, I began to feel a pain growing in my left baby finger. As I had just sent a birthday email to a friend who had carpal tunnel sydrome, I wondered if I was either picking up on her issue or beginning my own carpal tunnel as a reaction to my typing.

In any case, it hurt, so I stopped for a mome [...]

Frustration
Tuesday, 31 March, 2009 06:19 PM
Over the past weekend, I gave two workshops in Annapolis, MD. Unfortunately, when I flew from Montreal with my workshop folder I found when I got to my friend's house that my outline was not inside. I probably could have sat down and written out a new one as this isn't the first workshop I've given but I have a lot of notes in my outline - things I want to remember to mention and anecdotes to tell. I knew it was on my computer at home and my friend, who has a copy of my key, lives a block away. [...]

Sore Breasts
Monday, 23 March, 2009 07:34 PM
Many women will know what I'm talking about when I say that there was a day last month close to my period when I just couldn't stand the slightest movement of my breasts. They felt heavy and painful, about a 6 on the 0-10 SUDS scale, so I tapped:Even though I have hormonal breasts, I comletely love and accept myself.
Reminder phrases: Hormonal boobs. Can't get rid of it. It's just natural. Part of being a female/a woman.
I went down to a 4 so I continued.Even though I have these remaining [...]

A Stiff Neck
Monday, 16 March, 2009 07:36 PM
Last Wednesday, I woke up with a slightly stiff neck. As is often the case for me, it seemed to get worse as the day wore on. Symptoms: Stiff neck, pain in right side of back and right shoulder blade pain. I used no set-up (Psychological Reversal) phrasing as I was quite sure I wasn’t reversed about releasing it. Sitting at my desk at work (yeah, I know, they're used to it now - my boss taps pretty often as well), I did at least two rounds on each phrase, testing and adjusting the phrases [...]

Anxiety Over Not Controlling Others
Monday, 09 March, 2009 02:11 PM
As a sort of follow-up to last week's blog, I had another issue related to this person and his healing.The day after I sent my angry, foot-down email (mentioned in last Monday's blog), I woke up with a good deal of anxiety about him emailing me yet again with more anger and more questions. I had declared the end of my communication with him but somehow I hadn't convinced myself. How could I then hope to convince him? We are never credible if we don't believe ourselves. I looked deeper and saw th [...]

Very Strong Anger
Monday, 02 March, 2009 06:20 PM
This is a different way to go about getting relief. No spoken words, just tapping while reading something. It can work on anything you read that upsets you in any way. In this case, it happened to be an email I wrote to someone else.

In a nutshell, a person I was once very close to keeps accusing me of something that I did not do. I keep trying to take the higher road and explain calmly that I am not responsible for it. I suggested contacting the police to find out the truth. My suggestio [...]

Right Foot Pain
Monday, 16 February, 2009 02:19 PM
One day last week, I received an email from an old boyfriend that dug up some very unpleasant memories (I mentioned before that I've had some pretty un-fun relationships...). At the suggestion of my new beau, I looked up some of the older emails from the previous guy that had a lot of anger and accusations in them and decided to tap on all the emotions I had about his emotions. Those emails dug up quite a bit of "dirt" so I cleaned it up (it took me a few hours so I won't go into it here) and th [...]

Cellulite Hatred
Monday, 09 February, 2009 02:32 PM
I, like many women, have cellulite on my thighs and backside. Ever since I was in high school (many, many moons ago!), this area of my body, among others, was one of my reasons for hating my body, feeling fat, ugly and generally unacceptable - certainly not attractive to anyone other than my parents.   To make things worse, I had a boyfriend a few years ago on whom I was very emotionally dependent and who reflected back to me some of my own feelings about my body by making a devastating co [...]

Beliefs About Issues in Relationships
Monday, 02 February, 2009 05:38 PM
I was sitting at my kitchen table not that long ago, contemplating a little issue that had come up between my boyfriend and I. I realized that, on the surface, it wasn't a big issue. It was something to be discussed, surely, but it was by no means relationship threatening. Yet, I felt almost a sense of depression, a sense of not wanting to even deal with it. I did not want to go there.   I found the feelings exaggerated for such a small issue so I began to question myself about why it should [...]

Taking on Other Peoples' Stuff
Monday, 26 January, 2009 06:52 AM
We all have to deal with other people in our day-to-day lives. Some people are easier to deal with than others but we all have our own stuff. Often other peoples' issues trigger our own issues. It's important to try to figure out what belongs to us and what belongs to "them" so that we can tap on our part. One day my boss received a bill concerning our Internet set-up. It was for a few hundred dollars and money happens to be one of his issues. A misunderstanding with the phone company had indee [...]

Feeling Used
Monday, 19 January, 2009 02:25 PM
I specifically remember this issue because of how strong the emotions were and yet how quickly it was resolved.In early 2007, a neighbour/friend/possible love interest came over after having been away for 2 weeks. I was so happy to see him. We'd had a few very warm phone calls while he was away and I hoped we would have supper together on his first evening back. We chatted for a little while then he told me he had dinner plans with some friends and that he'd really only come to borrow some butte [...]

Being Too Damaged
Tuesday, 13 January, 2009 02:13 PM
When I started using EFT, I didn't have great results immediately. It took me over six months to have an Ah-Ha moment that made me realize what EFT was capable of. Even once I had realized that EFT could give me incredible results, I found that I wasn't using it as often as I could on as many things as I could. I find this happens with regularity to the people I work with one-on-one as well as the students to whom I teach EFT. One day, I took the time to sit down and figure out why I continued t [...]

Bathroom at Night Fear
Monday, 05 January, 2009 01:45 PM
We often have little (or big) unexplained issues that we don't even notice until someone points them out. Here was one of mine:When I would get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, I used to have to turn on the light. Even though it was painful to my eyes and woke me up more than necessary, I could not stop myself. It was a compulsion. There was an underlying fear there but it was such a habit that I never even realized that I turned the light on where some others don't as I ha [...]

Spiders
Tuesday, 30 December, 2008 02:38 PM
This spider issue has been a long one. I'm not quite done with it yet because I have some final elements to which I have not yet diligently applied EFT. Yes, this work sometimes requires diligence in being aware of, breaking down and removing every single aspect that you have regarding a specific issue. However, if you pay attention to yourself or take notes on intensity and the difference between your aspects as you apply EFT, you will be able to notice the changes. Notice, also, that any chang [...]

Ball of Anxiety
Monday, 22 December, 2008 02:31 PM
This is the one that made me sit up and declare "Hallelujah, EFT rocks!":I awoke at 2:30AM one night with a huge "ball of anxiety" rolling around in my solar plexus. I envisioned it as a ball of rough, green twine, 6" in diameter. It was churning around in there, screaming at me about how unhappy I was. Extremely uncomfortable, to say the least. In fact, it was physically painful and my breathing was strained. I mentally went through the list of my possibilities:"Well, I could call Mom but I'll [...]

Right Hip Pain
Monday, 15 December, 2008 07:38 PM
I was 42 years old and I used to wake up with pain in my right hip about 50% of the time. It seemed very "logical" that I should have developed this problem as I have a bunion on my right foot which deforms my foot. This, in turn, seems to twist my whole leg to a certain degree all the way up to the hip; meaning it is not aligned as it was naturally meant to be. Nothing seemed odd about finally, in my forties, developing hip pain that seemed related to this condition. In spite of that, I decided [...]
