Has anyone tried this?
I did a couple of years ago with some issues I was having with my sister. She was having some problems which were spilling out into the entire family. I was so obsessively worried that I couldn't sleep or think of anything else.
At the same time I came across a site on eft and found a therapist who used eft. My initial thought that it was a ridiculous. I have studied psychology and this looked like hocus pocus to me. Well, the session was free, cause I was able to claim on medicare.
I went, I did a series of tappings with my fingers over my face, said what sounded like affirmations and I left. I thought it was the strangest thing I have ever done and of course it wouldn't work. I was so dead against it, it took me a couple of months to realise that I had been sleeping full nights, and I wasn't obsessing about my sister's situation.
I haven't been back since, he lives three hours north from me. Perhaps I should go back though, there are a couple of things I could deal with.
I won't say it cures all, but of all the types of psych treatments I have had, it has been the best. I have had no relapses since either, and it has generalised into other areas of my life. Not bad for a simple two hour session of tapping my face. Weird but wonderful.
