The background story I have not been raped. Neither have I been beaten or physically abused. I have not been in, or witnessed someone else’s, serious road traffic accident.

EFT for Everyday Accidents – Borrowing from Ho’oponopono
Have you ever stubbed your toe against the kerb, or caught your hand on the side of a hot oven/pan/iron, chopped your thumb when you were aiming for the cabbage (it’s best not to ask me to shred cabbage!), bumped into an armchair/doorway/person, missed a step up/down, scalded yourself in steam from the kettle, spilled a freshly brewed mug of tea, hammered your fingers and missed the nail, tripped on the mat, fallen off a swing, slipped on ice/mud/banana skin?

Read MoreResolution, Not Conflict – Energy Psychology Treatments May Open New Frontiers in Therapy
“This article describes the series of interventions that energy therapist Dale Petterson utilized over the course of one session with one highly sensitive 10-year-old boy.

Read MoreHow to cope with your client’s stuff
“From the moment an EFT Practitioner and client get together, the practitioner’s ‘stuff’ is interacting with the client’s ‘stuff.’ EFT Practitioners are human beings just like everybody else. Hopefully we have been well trained and have many skills, but like all humans we are a work in progress and need to monitor our work and nurture our development to do the best we can for our clients. Being able to recognise and deal with these issues is why self-development, self-reflective processes and professional supervision / mentoring are essential for practitioners.”

“The Gamut Point has always been considered as important and in fact, many practitioners use the “9-point Gamut Procedure” at the end of all issues to balance the right and left hemispheres of the brain.

“There are days, or even longer periods, where everything seems to be profoundly wrong in the world. You, or your client, keep complaining on and on, you are not sure what you should tap on, and if you get started with one thing, two others pop up.
