Categories: Anxiety, Areas of EFT Practice, Children, Families & Parenting, Physical Issues, Trauma

Resolving a memory of one’s own birth before one is due to give birth oneself is to my mind a gift to one’s children that is pretty hard to beat. This is exactly what happened in session recently.

Cultivating a Healthy Relationship With Our Feelings and Emotions 

By: Tamara Low | 11 January, 2021
Categories: Areas of EFT Practice, Self-Acceptance, Trauma

Feelings and emotions I find feelings, thoughts, beliefs and emotions to be such interesting and mysterious facets of our shared human experience.

Like many studies, there are weaknesses.  These include a small sample size, and no randomization or control group.  There was no long term follow up, and there was a lack of formal psychiatric diagnosis prior to participation.

How we construct traumatic memories

By: Judy Byrne | 19 June, 2019
