EFT: 20/20 Emotional Vision By Karen St. Clair , AAMET Certified EFT Practitioner
o you see everything that’s in front of you or are there things that others see that you don’t? If we can’t see something, is it truly not there? That same fact applies to our emotions becoming invis- ible to us as we push them down into our bodies. Stuffing our emotions down is our only natural human coping skill, unlike wild animals. They have inherent chemistry that allows them to literally shake off the stress from a life-threatening situation. After their predator has retreated, they stand up and shake every muscle in their body releasing a cascade of the stress hormone cortisol that consumed them when danger first appeared. They simply shake it off and go back to life as it was versus our human response of stuff- ing it down into our bodies.

As we ingest these unresolved emotions, they collect within our bodies like a little onion. Each time we’re triggered by a similar or exact stuffed experience, the onion gains another layer growing larger and larger until our body takes steps to get our attention out of its own innate ability to survive and heal.

“Finding Karen and her wealth of
knowledge that she shared with me so openly was truly lifesaving. I came to Karen very broken; both physically and mentally. My body had become very ill due to the overwhelming amount of grief and anger that I carried around every day. Broken was my normal and I couldn't figure out how to feel peaceful and free again. I had come to believe that I did not deserve to feel good. Karen gave me hope...over and over and over again until I was able to hang onto it for myself. She helped me work through trauma and pain to get it out of my body, something no one had ever shown me. She showed me ways to take care of myself and use tapping for all my emotions.
