“How did you feel, when your Dad died suddenly?” I continued. “Scared and abandoned” said Dean.
We gently tapped on the EFT Tapping points using Dean’s
words over and over until he realized that he hadn’t yet accepted or grieved his Dad’s death, but had turned to alcohol and cigarettes as a coping mechanism to sooth the overwhelming emotional pain that he was experiencing. Reliving the moment of getting the news about his Dad’s death seemed palpable. On a scale of 0 – 10, Dean’s level of feeling scared and abandoned was a 10.
Everyone in the group was tapping and repeating each line out loud with Dean. This is a group technique used with Tapping called “Borrowing Benefi ts." The members of the group tap in support of the person whose issue is the focus, while reaping the benefi ts of lowering their own stress. EFT Tapping is a Universal Tool that benefi ts everyone.
As we tapped through each feeling, Dean’s level of stress
slowly came down to a 1. He was able to let go of the fear and abandonment that his inner child had been carrying for so many years and felt ready to ask for help with the habits that had become a way of life. To this day, EFT Tapping is Dean’s “Go To” stress reliever for big and small emotional costs.
If you would like to step into your power, release stressful pat- terns from the past that no longer serve you and start living in that sweet spot, I encourage you to consider EFT Tapping to see how it can help you too.
