Читать книгу Emotional Healing in Minutes: Simple Acupressure Techniques For Your Emotions - Paul Lynch - Страница 12

EFT can be applied to a broad spectrum of emotional difficulties, from niggling irritations through to fundamental core issues. The technique does not alter and it is exactly the same for all conditions. The process works as effectively for deep-seated suffering as it does for everyday problems, as was demonstrated in the case of Terry.

terry’s story – parent issues ‘My father died 12 years ago, but I did not grieve or mourn. I felt no sorrow or loss because I felt I had lost my ‘real’ father some 18 years before. His passing was something that I accepted would happen one day and I attended the funeral only at the request of my mother. Since his death I had spoken of him less and less, because my memories of him were all negative. It gave me no pleasure to recall them. My mother recognized my anger so did not mention her husband, who she greatly missed.

‘In recent years I had questioned whether my feelings towards my father were misplaced. It wasn’t until finding out about EFT that the prospect of addressing these issues came to the fore. The session was quite emotional for me, as I struggled with the emotions surrounding this unloved – dare I say, hated – parent of mine. Then, suddenly, it was all over and I felt as if a weight had been lifted from me. My world seemed a little lighter and more loving than before. I felt sorry for the man who I had despised and hated. I wished I had shown more compassion when he was alive, especially towards the end of his life. For the first time in years I could speak about my father to my friends and especially my mother who, despite his shortcomings, loved him dearly. Her joy alone made the effort worthwhile, because knowing of my feelings, she had never spoken of him, although she had desperately wanted and needed to.’
