Aggravations and Irritations
ОглавлениеNo matter how laid back we are, it can still be easy to lose our temper when under pressure. The old saying of ‘count to ten’ can be replaced by ‘tap for it’. A few minutes of tapping should be enough to release the tension. Partners’ annoying habits, screaming children, traffic jams, interfering parents can all be soothed away quickly.
Pam’s story – irritation Pam had an adorable little dog called Lucy. However, Lucy had a very excitable nature and car journeys with her were an ordeal. She would squeal the entire time. This behaviour caused Pam to dread taking Lucy anywhere in the car. She had tried everything she could think of to break the habit, but to no avail. After learning about EFT, she decided to give it a try. Pam and her husband set off in the car to take Lucy for a walk and, true to form, Lucy began her horrendous noise. Immediately, Pam began tapping for all the different elements that annoyed her. She tapped for:
‘Her barking drives me mad.’
‘I can’t stand the noise Lucy makes.’
‘I want to throw her out of the window.’
‘This ceaseless barking!’
While tapping, the irritation began to subside and Pam realized that she was relaxed and enjoying the view from the window. Lucy’s barking no longer troubled her but her poor husband was getting very uptight. They agreed that next time Pam would drive so that her husband could tap away his annoyances.
Physical irritations such as bites, bumps and stings can also be relieved by this method, as well as aggravations such as hiccups and sneezing fits.
