Even after I had put all the above into place, about ten minutes before I got on stage, I did feel my heart starting to race. I knew this would happen because it’s normal (and totally OK). However, I made sure that I had ways to temper the nerves if they got too distracting…

Linked ArticleWhat is Tapping?
“When my first major panic attack happened and I actually thought I was having a heart attack. I got my husband to phone the ambulance. It was horrendous – a horrible space to be living in. 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.”

“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. Note that energy techniques seem to yield especially rapid changes with children. Adults have accumulated more layers of negative life experiences and bad habits. Their treatment therefore, while it uses the same techniques, sometimes takes somewhat longer.”
