One of the questions I question extra clients is, "Are you on any medication?"
Many of my clients can easily list numerous forms of medication they are taking; ranging from blood pressure pills, to diuretics, to painkillers, to anti-depressants. These medications are managing the contemporary symptoms, keep for they are not resolving the underlying emotional issues - which may maybe well be inflicted including triggered the illness in the first place. Moreover, if these issues are not dealt with, will here ever happen an chance for remedial at a core level?
That said, I fully appreciate with the intention of medical behavior can mess about a vital role in the healing journey. If a client is taking medication, I emphasis, EFT is not intended to be old as a replacement for medical treatment, but can be used in conjunction. It has been my experience in fastidious cases, however, that as underlying emotional issues are cleared, the medication level can be reduced under the guidance of the medical doctor.
Despite the thorough examination and questions, which lead to the medication being prescribed, the question of why the person became ill in the first place is seldom considered. There may be actions in her life; shy emotions, or strong beliefs, which have contributed to her corporal deterioration. Our bodies are incredibly hard-wearing and robust, so what causes them to stop functioning at this dynamic level? Why do approximately broadcast be converted into sincerely ill as stretched to the limit, while others continue functioning comfortably and effortlessly?
When I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) in 2003, my doctor didn't ask what was going on in my life at that time. He didn't recognize I was stressed and exhausted from work, or that I was grieving the failure of my aunt, who had died unexpectedly, or that I was deeply unfulfilled in my marriage. He did offer me anti-depressants and sleeping pills though. Perhaps this was his road of dealing with no matter what had caused my illness. At that time, I was so relieved to be agreed a 'label' finally, some authoritative recollection I was ill, that I wasn't concerning for myself with what force have caused the illness.
The euphoria was tiny lived however, and when I ongoing to contemplate how ill I really was, and the changes I would call for to get on to in my life, the anti-depressants and sleeping pills appeared appealing. In spite of this, I unwritten my deceased and mentality sufficient to know this medication would be a temporary prop and it wasn't the answer. I looked-for to peek deeper.
It didn't take me lingering to realize I had hard-pressed myself too hard in all areas of my life and expected too much of myself. I'd everlastingly been a very obsessed person who enjoyed a challenge, and yes, I am a perfectionist into the mix! Perhaps my body was competent to function at a high level at one time, but when my marriage became so uncertain and I felt a perfect loss of hegemony in my work and private life, it was enough to tip the balance. These stressors took their toll on my body once and for all.
When I was introduced to EFT it was the ray of desire I was so desperately searching for. That is since by using the technique, in a very gentle, yet powerful way, I was able to start addressing the reasons behind my serious illness and experience permanent relief as a consequence - both physically and emotionally. Reducing the recurring pain, digestive disorders and brain fog was be fond of a gift from God; dissolving the fears, resentment, loneliness, and regaining control, was healing and empowering. I felt like a lighter translation of my ex- self.
When a new seriously ill client comes to reckon it over me, one of the first questions I ask is: "What was happening in your life before or all owing to the time you became ill?"
I'm looking for stressors such as uncertainty, loss of control, and fear, which could have unnatural the balance in their lives enough to make them ill.
They ordinarily answer, "I can caution you just so what was happening at that time..." They recall specific events such as the fatality of a loved one, financial stress, relationship difficulties, or the loss of a job. These are enormously challenging and potentially highly stressful events. How we respond to them determines the impact they have on our bodies.
Together we then use EFT on how the client feels in this area the event: the negative emotions, beliefs and memories that she is ground about that specific time. Once these are cleared - and there might be many layers involved - she can imitate in trade with a comfortable level of acceptance about what happened, and focus on how she will step forward. The beliefs and emotions pertaining to that specific time could be well-established patterns; they are usually emotionally and physically debilitating. There is only so much stress the body can take, only so much help the adrenals can give.
In my experience of using EFT for serious illness, it appears that once the intricate layers of emotional stressors are addressed, cleared and neutralized, the body is emancipated to start healing itself. That is when we start to see the physical symptoms, such as digestive disorders, chronic pain, exhaustion, or sleep disturbances, are reducing and disappearing.
Many of the seriously ill clients I work with are very driven. They have expected a ration from themselves and often have been self-critical, striving for perfection in all areas of their lives. Most significantly, it has been challenging for them to display "no" to others and their lives have been about giving and pushing themselves to the limit. When I take notice of their stories, I dash with because I, too, once functioned on that level. As a teacher, I gave unconditionally, as a wife, I gave unconditionally, and as a person, I didn't know when to say, "No, I don't aspire to do that". I wasn't aware of boundaries and truly believed it was aptly that others came before me.
The joy of EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is that the technique doesn't only clear emotions and limiting beliefs about past events, which may have caused us to become ill. But, we can also use EFT to clear limiting self-beliefs about who we are and what we expect of ourselves now; beliefs which could be preventing us from healing at a core level and accomplishment our fullest potential. With EFT as an accessible tool, we no longer need to feel a loss of control about our bestow or our future.
