E.F.T

So sorry for you Annie.
I havent always been keeping up but have you tried various therapies,.
I am assuming EFT is one but I haven't googled it yet.
I hope very sincerely one of them works for you.

I must say, it sounds "very out there".
Do you know a practioner?

Yes, Ann, I was told this morning a lady who lives in this Cul de Sac is a hypnotherapist and EFT practitioner, I was given her card. Thought it was worth a try .

I did google it, Wikipedia dismisses it but much in complementary treatments are dismissed .

I have not tried EFT but can see how it would work, tapping brings you back to the relaxed state your sub conscious was in during therapy.Hope it works for you.

Annie If she lives in the cul-de-sac, she is not only an EFT practitioner but also a neighbour. Very near at hand, and also she could be a good neighbour in a friendly way too. A double reason to see whether she can help you. If it suits you, it doesn't matter whether Wikipedia approves of the therapy or not (and I am one of the first to slate "therapies" which are just ingenious and sometimes dangerous methods of parting people from their money).

annie I think after 9 months at home anything is worth a try. As long as it doesn't cost too much and she's not ripping you off, I would have a go. Nothing else has worked. Good luck. You are still in my prayers, every day, I hope you can find some peace soon. x

Part of it, so it says on the net, is related to neuro-linguistic-programming (NLT) which does have some following and has been around for a long time.

The tapping idea has also been around a long while, and similar techniques are used with an elastic band round your wrist, which you flick as a trigger to take you back to where you want to be.

Don't forget that wiki is not an encyclopaedia - it contains the views of individuals who write the articles - it is not unbiased. So just because the person who wrote that article does not rate it,it does not mean it will not work for you.

My OH, who was a doctor and really has no truck at all with alternative therapies, trained in hypnotherapy because he could see how it helped people.

I really would give this a try annie - it could be very productive for you.

I have a friend who suffers with ME. She has become qualified in EFT and also teaches it. It has certainly helped her to lead a more 'normal' life.

I would say give it a try. There is a website called thetappingsolution.com which you may find useful. Good luck

Annie It is certainly worth a try although I don't know anyone who has tried it.
I am a firm believer in not to doubt anything until you have tried it yourself.
I think of you most days and always offer a prayer for your wellbeing . xx

Oh Annietry it.youve nothing to lose..if it works and am praying it will..you will have your life back..do it Annie.xx

I agree give it a whirl.

You are a sensible lady Annie and will know quite quickly if it is what you are looking for.

Good luck xxx

My sons girlfriend was trained in EFT he had some sessions for his flying phobia, it didn’t work for him but it didn’t do him any harm to give it a try. I’d say go for it.

It was my husband not my son who had the fear of flying.

How lovely you all are. I have spoken to the woman , she worked with my darling daughter 28 years ago, I don’t remember her but she remembers I use to call in the shop and she was always amused my daughter always gave me a hug as if she hadn’t seen me for days, she was still living at home ?. Would give me a hug and say ‘see you lunch time.

Anyway she has agreed to visit me, have a chat, explain her therapies but no charge for treatment, thinks it what she should do after what happened last November.

I bought a scooter today , Elegran you are so right, she offered as a neighbour to walk with me when I go out on the scooter and walk around the Cul de Sac , I have never been around it, I live in the first bungalow as one comes into it.

Isn’t that kind

Tapping has been around a very long time, they renew it every now and then with new names, I m not sure myself but then I ve never used it although I ve never had any success with Reiki, crystal healing or hypnotism etc etc I think it depends how much you believe it will help how much you are open to it and what price you are being asked for per session
I ll be interested to hear how it goes and wish you good luck Annie x

Just seen your latest post That’s lovely Annie and what a good start

I remember seeing Paul McKenna practicing this on a woman who had an extreme fear of spiders, to the extent where she wouldn't leave the house.
At the end of the session he had her stroking a tarantula.
I know some consider Paul McKenna a charlatan but i can only say what I saw.
You have nothing to loose,Annie. Think positive

Well done Annie The tapping is a peg on which to hang your hat while you relax and move into a state where you can clear your mind of the tensions which led to your agoraphobia and so on.

The peg could be anything. With hypnotism it is the mesmerising voice of the practitioner talking you out of your stress, with other methods it is things like visualising a beautiful landscape with a peacefully flowing stream. If this neighbour has experience in using the tapping and can make it work, then she will probably be able to help you. Best wishes!

Thank you Elegran, I can but try.

Visualing is out though, I have tried and tried it to get to sleep, always cry because my thoughts go back to places I don’t want them to go. But I do want some normality back so will be open to it.

I find that I can get rid of unpleasant night thoughts by lying there planning how to do something complicated, like changing the layout of the house, complete with where to run the plumbing if I added an en suite and how many rolls of wallpaper and tins of paint it would take to redecorate the hall, stairwell and landing and how much it would all cost. By the time I have concluded that it would take me too long (and I can't do plumbing anyway, though paint and polyfilla are within my scope) , so I would be better to find a builder or a decorator, I am ready to fall asleep.

Elegran, glad it works for you but doubt it would have the same effect if your brother had a building firm ?, he does the pricing, I do the quotes ?

I have done villages in Wales, Towns in Wales, passing Q. K X V J. Even done Christian names from my family tree, one problem is O, soooo many Owains.

A busman's holiday, Annie. I don't suppose it would work if the busman worked out his best route from Aberystwyth to Zennor and how much the petrol would cost him.

You could try imagining your brother driving from Aberystwyth to Zennor, and how he would cost (and you would quote) for building extensions for the houses he passed! You'd have to also imagine him measuring up the sites as well. Don't forget to add in the cost of the cups of tea.
