Linked ArticleWhat is Tapping?

I was going through a lot at that time and I was going to bed at night and waking up with the attacks. The doctor said ‘No, you’ve got anxiety’ and just put me under that umbrella term. I just found it so frustrating that they weren’t helping me so I got connected with EFT.”
Linked ArticleCan Attachment Theory Explain All Our Relationships?
“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.”

Their treatment therefore, while it uses the same techniques, sometimes takes somewhat longer.”
