By: Andy Hunt
Categories: Inner Child EFT

Can Attachment Theory Explain All Our Relationships?

By: Bethany Saltman – New York Magazine, 2016
Categories: Inner Child EFT, Linked Articles or Events, Relationships, The Science Behind EFT

“Secure adults tend to value attachment relationships and are able to describe experiences coherently, whether negative (e.g., parental rejection or over-involvement) or positive, says Main. Dismissing adults tend either to devalue the importance of attachment relationships or to idealize their parents without being able to illustrate their positive evaluations with concrete events demonstrating secure interaction. Preoccupied adults are still very much involved and preoccupied with their past attachment experiences and are therefore not able to describe them coherently. Dismissing and preoccupied adults are both considered insecure.”

The Pain of “Not Belonging”

By: Carna Zacharias-Miller
Categories: Anxiety, Core Issues, EFTfree Archives, Fear, Inner Child EFT, Self-Acceptance

“The feeling of not belonging is often mixed with other emotions, like loneliness, deep sadness, feeling different, ‘what’s wrong with me,’ and abandonment and rejection. As we know, it is a basic need for children to belong, to have a safe place, to be at least validated if not cherished.”

“When I called at the appointed time, Christine was in tears.

EFT Clears the Emotional Pain Caused by a Distorted Self-Image

By: Edith Howell
Categories: EFTfree Archives, Fear, Inner Child EFT, Weight and Fitness

“When we have this distorted image of our bodies, we are in bondage to our fears and we feel that at some level, there is something wrong with us, we are not good enough as we are. As a result, we build a prison that keep us stuck and it robs us of the courage to go after our dreams.”

By: Betty Moore-Hafter
Categories: Anxiety, Core Issues, EFTfree Archives, Inner Child EFT, Peak Performance

“Sylvia surprised me by announcing that she had “fired” [her violin] teacher! She felt empowered and delighted that she had broken her own rule of “you have to take it, stick with it, don’t be a quitter.” She could reject those judgments and honor her feelings and needs…How beautiful to see her delightful child self coming through in her new freedom to play the violin for enjoyment, free of judgment, free of fear!”

By: Max Pinoche

“At one point, when talking about what the announcement of the divorce had provoked in my mind at the time, I instantly said: “The feeling that it would never be the same ever again”, and tears started flowing. We had to stop tapping. All day long, every time I would think of this key sentence, tears would roll down my checks.”

Compassionate EFT: Working with Extreme Anxiety Symptoms

By: Gillian Wightman
Categories: All Tutorials, Complex Issues, Core EFT Skills, EFTfree Archives, Inner Child EFT, Matrix ReImprinting, Trauma

“What extreme condition (heavy OCD or anxiety or dissociation) sufferers need in the beginning is you helping them to work along with their symptoms (instead of fighting them) by being able to see the symptoms having a valid and positive function, and by allowing the appreciation and validation for this to develop in them, as well. “

Whats Love Got To Do With It? How Body Image, Weight and Self Love Connect

By: Sandy Zeldes
Categories: Affirmations, EFTfree Archives, Inner Child EFT, Self-Acceptance, Weight and Fitness

“I think so often when we are ‘stuck’ with a negative belief process or trauma, what keeps it so locked in place is our lack of acceptance and love. When we shine the light of love and kindness through acceptance on an issue, it is like the sun burning off the clouds…”

By: Betty Moore-Hafter

“We talked and tapped with regard to what the little girl needed: someone to pay attention to her feelings, to validate what she felt, to take her seriously, and to understand her. It wasn’t even so much that the little girl needed the bottle — she needed empathy and understanding for her feelings.”

Identity Beliefs, Identity Relief – “I Am A Failure”

By: Andy Hunt
Categories: EFT Strategies, EFTfree Archives, Inner Child EFT, Inner Visuals

“During one of our sessions a client said, in passing, ‘I am a failure.’ I am always on the look out for people’s identity beliefs which often start with ‘I am’ … I only use the words that the client gives me to tap on, no clever reframing is required – just respect for the client’s experience and tapping to take care of the emotion…”

“They’re Just Stupid Boys” – An Inner Child Healing Story

By: Betty Moore-Hafter
Categories: Addictions, EFTfree Archives, Inner Child EFT, Weight and Fitness

“Apparently our work together on the title alone had completely cleared the trauma. I realized that the title she had chosen was the crescendo of the event. That might not always be a good idea, but in this case, it worked wonders. Those nasty words, which had hurt her so much as a little child, had been completely neutralized and she could see the whole thing clearly and not take it personally anymore….”

Recovering from CSA (Childhood Sexual Abuse)

By: Puja Kanth
Categories: Addictions, EFTfree Archives, Inner Child EFT, Trauma

“Surprisingly his intensity went down pretty fast after tapping on the guilt. Somehow the guilt was holding that abuse in place and after the guilt was gone, the abuse too lost its significance. It was, as if a heavy load had been lifted off his shoulders…”
