Limiting self-talk

I have had the recent opportunity to work with a couple of new clients using EFT. I do work with a number of folks on a regular basis using Bioenergy Balancing as the modality. I have been working on and off with some of these folk for years, and they prefer this modality. They are familiar with it, they like how it works, and so they have no desire to switch.

I am passionate about the ease and simplicity of EFT though, and want to do more with this modality. I was honored recently when a woman from Second Life chose to work with me. We worked on the phone for an hour on being stuck career-wise. We got through a number of issues in that hour, and a lot of her negative self-talk seemed to loosen. I have followed up, and it seems to be holding.

EFT is great for loosening negative self-talk. So many times we stop our selves by our inner dialogue. The reasons for this limiting self-talk are many, from trauma, to the way we were brought up, to what we were taught, to observing what happened to those we care about, to…the list goes on. EFT is very good at loosening any emotional attachments and reasons we have for hanging on to this self-talk. It allows us to be more free to move forward with our desires. Getting the self-limiting dialogue out of the way can even help us find what we truly want.

Just to be redundant, there is a wealth of information and resources here.

One step further on my goal

I just passed the test presented by Dr. Patricia Harrington certifying that I have Advanced knowledge of EFT! I can now put the initials EFT-ADV on a business card or such.

This does not certify I know what I am doing in practice, but that I do understand it theoretically. If you think about it, even getting licensed in Psychology (an eventual goal) does not mean I am any good, just that I worked for X number of hours and that I passed a test. Guess this is as good as anything.

I had the URL I wanted, and have registered for a web site. I am slowly building it. My usual issue is coming up. I want to do such a good job, that it is taking me forever to do it. Perhaps I should just get a quick "hello" site done, and work on perfection later. Perhaps I should tap on it too! You will be hearing that a lot from me as time goes on. EFT is a technique that uses tapping on end points of select energy meridians, combined with carefully constructed statements, to loosen stuck stuff.

I will probably talk occasionally about Ms. Harrington's methods as time goes by. She is one of 29 "EFT Masters", a group of 29 people who were the first to undergo Gary Craig's rather extensive and grueling master's program. He ended that program, which sets these 29 people aside as some of the first pioneers. There are also many other methods, some of which I may mention here too. There is a lot of good stuff out there!
