Use EFT While Waiting On The Phone (Article)
By Dr. Patricia Carrington
Did you ever save up a bunch of EFT tapping statements to use when you have a spare moment during the day? It's like having a package of almonds or other crunchies in your pocket to munch on when you’re hungry.
Why Use EFT On the Phone
How to Use Role Playing in EFT (Article)
By Dr.
Role playing is an accepted strategy that can be used in therapy sessions to help clients learn how to handle a feared situation in a more constructive way. The therapist will ad lib the role of the antagonist (although later he/she sometimes reverses roles and enacts the role of the client), and the client usually plays their own selves. Traditionally, it’s a form of emotional re-education, but when used along with EFT (I’ve been using it this way), it can often change actual behavior in a dramatic manner and affords the therapist a superb opportunity to assess the effectiveness of the tapping right there and then. Here’s an example of how this works:
Borrowing Benefits with EFT Study – (Article)
By Dr. Patricia Carrington
Borrowing benefits Is a powerful EFT technique. Do its results hold up over time?
At Gary Craig’s final Flagstaff EFT Conference I watched with interest as psychologist Jack Rowe diligently sought out the participants who had signed up for his study — most of the people in the room actually – to hand them their test forms for the SCL-90- R., a highly respected measure of psychological distress. His purpose in doing this was to study the effects of Gary's Borrowing Benefits technique on the stress levels of the audience.
The Value of EFT Homework (Article)
By Dr. Patricia Carrington
There is a saying in social agencies which goes, “Always meet the client where they are.” I remember my first clinical supervisor telling me about that. It translates roughly into the concept that as therapists we should never force our own ideas on the client or expect them to want for themselves what we want for them – we are to meet them where THEY are. The following case of Victor illustrates the wisdom of "meeting the client where they are" as well as the effective use of doing "EFT homework" between sessions.
Using EFT to Relax Muscle Tension (Article)
by Patricia Carrington, Ph.D.
I have long worked with relaxation methods and meditation methods which, each in its own way, create deep relaxation. However not until very recently did I think of using EFT as a formal “relaxation method.”
One of the things we find with relaxation techniques is that sudden relaxation can be threatening. If we are feeling tense, with our muscles tightened, it usually works better if we can move gradually into a relaxation mode. The reason is that muscle tension is a basic survival mechanism. Today it is often a misapplied effort at survival, however –– we are probably tensing up over something that is not life-threatening –– but in the primordial world where our ancestors existed for millennia, having properly tense, muscles when they were needed was often a matter of life and death. Whether or not one could supply enough muscle tension to fight for survival or to flee, was a crucial matter.
For this reason there is often something inherently threatening to a tense person in the idea of relaxing. It is though we would be ambushed if we were to relax!
This dilemma is handled in different ways with different relaxation techniques, but EFT is a particularly rapid change technique and I have found that if you want to relax muscular tension using EFT that the best way to do this is by using a three step process which goes as follows:
Using EFT to Manifest Your Desires – (Article)
By Dr.
As I’ve frequently done in the past , today I will be answering a question that is a composite one. It is one that has been asked of me from time to time by a number of different people, usually when I don’t have the leisure to answer it as thoroughly as I would like to. The question was this:
Using EFT for Gratitude (Article)
By Dr. Patricia Carrington
I am always interested in new uses for EFT that may not yet been recognized. Many of us use this remarkable technique when things go wrong in our lives but fail to recognize that it can be used equally successfully to enhance what is already good in our lives. One such use of EFT is to increase the deeply affirming experience of being genuinely GRATEFUL.
Can EFT Help if You Don’t Know What You Want? – (Article)
By Dr. Patricia Carrington
Question
Can EFT help if you know that you are willing and capable but don't know what you want / have no vision?
Answer
EFT can indeed help but perhaps not in the way you expect. You would do well to first address the “tail-enders”, as Gary Craig calls the persistent objections in the back of our minds that often prevent affirmations from working.
Not knowing what you really want in life is far more common than most people think. A striking instance of this comes to my mind.
How to Use EFT to Change Negative Attitudes (Article)
By Dr.
EFT is a powerful instrument. It can even be used to effect a radical change in the way you approach life.
However, as we all know, it is not easy to change the way we react to certain aspects of life, because to us our attitudes seem to be carved in stone; unchangeable. I have found, however, that we can alter even fundamental views by using Personal Resource States in EFT. I have written extensively about the power of these inner resources that we all have within our memory banks, in my EFT Choices Manual, but I cannot emphasize strongly enough how important they are if we want to effect a basic change in our life.
