Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Hello, I suffered from ptsd for years after a traumatic car accident where I broke my pelvis in 3 places including sacrum, tailbone, pubic bone, etc. I also lacerated my liver and burst my bladder along with other stuff like landing on my chin and getting severe TMJ, Carpal Tunnel, I was having flashes of bad things happening at every turn. It happened for over 13 years, until I went to a Vipassana retreat http://www.dhamma.org these are free charity retreats offered worldwide to alleviate suffering, what it actually did for me was erase the karma of that accident so that I did not have to relive it anymore (although I did relive it there a number of times in a safe and compassionate environment). It never came back and they say it cannot be cured., The next time I went to a retreat (I go yearly now), I was so sure that when I started getting deep my body would throw that memory at me, WRONG. It was a very peaceful experience to know that once you work through that stuff with this technique it is in fact erased. I hope any number of you will look into taking the time for this retreat as it helped me get through my breast cancer diagnosis with grace. http://www.dhamma.org Please look into a retreat near you and keep us posted.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Hi Gail, Welcome to the group there is a wealth of information in the archives which will help you clear trauma. Search for IDD and EFT and see where that takes you. If you go to www.emofree.com, Gary Craig has loads of articles which are organised into sections where you can read about all the different applications of EFT. He also has a free manual to learn EFT. Search those two places first, it will be very benefical to you. Also if you like audios as a way of learning then Carol Look (www.carollook.com) has an archive of radio shows where she talks about EFT and interviews people like Gary Craig, David Feinstein etc. This doesn't contain much how too, it does give you many ideas on how and where to use EFT. For me it is also a nice reminder how powerful Energy Medicine and Energy Psychology is. Doc's mantra is 'Do the drills to get the Skills' - and he is right. Cheers, Michael. , " h9wws123 " <h9wws123 wrote: > > hi, > > i'm new to the group, and have found the posts are very interesting. > being a novice at all this, i was hoping to hear from others who have > found some successful treatment for severe trauma. i am 54 years old, > and boy i sure would like to find out what others have done to > successfully recover. > > best wishes to all, > gail > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFT is a technique that anyone, including children can do and it helps for emotional as well as physical problems. You can read all about it and see some videos of it being used at emofree.com Some people even learn to do EFT just from watching the short videos on the website. If you are interested after you check out the website, you can contact me and I could copy some of my dvds for you as the creater, Gary Craig, allows the original purchaser to make up to 100 copies and GIVE, not sell, to others. You can also download the complete booklet off the website for free. Let me know if I can be of any assistance. Have a blessed day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I am also new to this group. I've seen the videos at the eft site and have recently started getting the newsletters. What started my interest in energy work was a local acupunturist. I started getting some treatments done and have noticed some subtle differences. I've always been pretty physically healthy - I'm 50 with not a lot of sicknesses, aches or pains. But mentally, situations seem to affect me very tramatically - like a job layoff. I seem to hang on to things metally for a long time. Right after my job layoff, I did some emdr work and had read about it. I would love to learn more about eft. What is the best way to start on this journey - the tapes from Gary. Are there particular books that are better for a newbie? I would love to get copies of some of the beginning tapes. Can I contact you off line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hi, The other great technique/protocol for dealing with PTSD is called TAT (Tapas Acupressure Technique)<www.tatlife.com>. It is very gentle, beautifully simple and deeply healing. The protocols are available on the website. It has been used in the Mexican earthquakes, in post-tsunami situations and more recently, in 2006, my partner and I went to Pakistan and taught it to medical professionals, community workers and children in the earthquake region of Northwestern Pakistan and Kashmir. If you go to Google Video (not YouTube) and search Pakistan and Paul O'Connor you'll find it an Energy Psychology video showing us teaching it in a school there. It is also being used to help US troops returning from Iraq, or who are home on leave, to take the edge of the 'stuff' they are bringing home. I have used it to treat clients who were sexually and physically abused. Once they were taught the basic protocol, they were able to use it on themselves to clear their own traumatic memories. ------------------------- Paul O'Connor Energy Psychology Trainer Dublin IRELAND e: oconnor at iol.ie ------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hi Paul, I have used the Tapas acupressure technique as well, although certainly not in the situations you have done. It's a very interesting procotol, but I stopped using it a few years ago, simply because I found it wasn't as effective as EFT for me. I suspect that this is because TAT's primary change mechanism is the chakra system and the meridian system needs to be involved, as well. And I haven't done EFT for at least a year since I learned Doc's Inner Demon Destroyer. Well done for spreading the word about energy therapies, Paul. - Joe Wadsworth "oconnor" <oconnor Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2008 5:30:26 PM Re: PTSD Hi,The other great technique/protocol for dealing with PTSD is called TAT(Tapas Acupressure Technique)<www. tatlife.com> .
