For those who feel that their problems have been eradicated, they may wish
to test it out in a real-life situation. If we use a fear of snakes as an example,
the client can look at images of snakes or watch programmes that include
snakes or even visit a local zoo. The client is never put in a dangerous

is a good indicator of whether the sessions have been completed

Used in kinesiology , diagnostic muscle testing can be really useful. The
technique requires the client to extend his or her arm and then you will press
lightly with applied pressure while the client makes a remark that is either
true or false. If they give a true statement, their arm would remain extended

when pressed and will be weaker . This works because the muscles and the nerves work together , so when there
is an upsetting emotion, there will be a change in the muscles as well. Positive thoughts and emotions will make the muscles firm, and by contrast,
those with negative thoughts or emotions will feel weaker . This test is not
about testing strength, it just occurs as electricity moves through the nerves

Emotions and T raumas
EFT af fords a very gentle approach to healing and it also enables your
clients to re-gain control over their lives which is especially important if they
are dealing with high levels of stress or suffering from depression. W e all
know that if you perceive danger , your body immediately goes into flight or
fight response. Once the danger is over , your body should return to a
balanced state but for some people, their stress is continuous and so flight or
fight mode becomes the norm. These high levels of stress prevent the body
from returning to a healthy state. Sometimes stress can be good. Think of an athlete in the starting blocks. Their short term stress levels helps them to perform but long-term stress is
highly damaging and stress is often attributed to conditions such as:
x High blood pressure  
x Arthritis  
x Cancer  
x Heart disease etc.Often an individual’ s chosen career will contribute to their stress levels and
rising workloads, increased pressures, longer hours and dif ficult colleagues
can certainly add to the pressure experienced. As an EFT practitioner , you
may find that by talking to those who are in highpowered positions, many
would benefit from using EFT . But it’ s not just in the workplace that stresses
can arise, unhealthy relationships, family problems such as grief, financial
issues or even situations such as moving house, or getting divorced can
increase stress levels beyond belief. Some people recover quickly from
stressful situations or traumas, they have a more pragmatic approach and
work through their feelings in a healthy way , others will ignore these
feelings of stress or pain and bury them deep within. As a beginner in EFT, it can be very dif ficult to know the extent of any
issues and, you may wonder how far you can go in search for the core
problems. Within the EFT community , substantial issues are known as the
small T trauma and the big T trauma. A big T trauma is likely to be
associated with a very recent or severe trauma that has created high
emotional or physical anxiousness as soon as the memories of the event
surface. A small T trauma is one that happened 3 years or more ago and will cause
only a mild-tomoderate level of anxiety– with either an emotional or
physical response when the incident is recalled. So as a therapist, you will be
able to ask your clients to discuss how significant the trauma is and how they
feel they are recovering. It’s important to not push them towards rec overy because for some people,
even thinking about their situation causes anxieties. Just consider how
difficult it must be to continuously relive the scene which perhaps for them
is terrifying and the emotions experienced are of the highest intensity . For
those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) they may
regularly experience nightmares, panic attacks and depression. In the world of psychology , there is a belief that PTSD occurs when any
trauma is stuck fast in the memory and this frozen trauma causes constant
flashbacks. So EFT , when used correctly and regularly , can help to unblock
the trauma and to re-boost the ener gy circulating. The aim will be to remove
negative emotions. T raumas such as this af fects not only the individual butthe whole family . Often these severe traumas are not recognised initially and
the individual tries to carry on in life and yet, the trauma holds them fast
preventing them from moving on. This equates to families feeling incredibly
powerless. Fortunately , EFT has been proven to help those with these types
of conditions and although sometimes it is painful for the individual, it can
certainly provide release. Let’s assume you have a client who has been assaulted and who finds it
difficult to move a way from this physical attack. It will be dif ficult to create
setup phrases but they are a powerful tool to recovery . Here’ s an example:
Even though I have constant flashbacks of being attacked, I love and accept
myself
As a practitioner , you can discuss the setup phrases with your clients and
work on finding the right one for that individual. Once they are able to talk
about the trauma without being too af fected, you will be able to see that
progress is being made. Don’ t expect this to be an overnight achievement. Sometimes, clients will come to you with one set of problems and these may
seem significant and, following several sessions you realise that their
problems have been resolved, only to find other issues coming to the surface. This is not uncommon and some of these issues may have been deeply
traumatic and therefore, buried. For example, a client may have been abused and has kept this secret for
many years. They may have experienced relationship problems or depression
and have asked for help – for these issues and not for the memories of abuse
which have long been buried but not resolved. Eventually , through treating
aspects, you start to see some changes in your client. Perhaps increased
emotion, or fluctuations of behaviour . Eventually , through EFT , this old trauma now rises to the surface. This is a positive sign, although it can be dif ficult initially . From this you
will see the importance of trust and rapport between client and therapist. How else will these deep, buried secrets come to light and be treated? Note
that some people may be so badly traumatised that they have developedsevere psychological problems and although EFT  can help in some cases, it
is far better to recommend that they report to a mental health professional for
medical care. But for others, you will be able to treat accordingly , using the
tapping techniques and teaching your client how to do the same at home. Your aim is to always help lessen the reaction from their anxieties, emotions
or traumas and to help with this, ask your client to:  
Write down any negative phrases, or words or actions which have been said
to them. The client then has to rate these statements using the Subjective Units of
Distress scale. To create setup phrases to help eliminate any resistance experienced, either
you or your client will tap on the relevant points and state:  
x I am afraid to let go of (this experience) x I identify with (experience)  
After one complete round, they should then leave out the setup phrase and
instead state:  
x Even though I have this (experience/trauma) I want to love myself x
Although I have had this (experience/trauma) for so long, I want to accept
myself  
After each round is completed, the client should rate themselves identifying
whether the emotions are reducing or has actually reduced to 0. Sometimes clients will find it dif ficult to recall memories or if they do, will
have no actual associated feelings. This can be as a result of those
individuals losing their memories completely or even partially . They may
have had trauma to the head and damaged the part of the brain where the
memories are stored. Other people may remember traumatic episodes. They
may have PTSD, have suf fered from sexual abuse or domestic abuse. Whatever their trauma, EFT can help. If the client struggles to relay this
story , ask the client to tell the story as if from someone else’ s perspective:
x Ask for a description of sounds, sights or scents experienced at the time x
Ask for in-depth description  
x Aid recall by use of objects or photos  
x The client should write a story about the events and use EFT as a way to
reduce
emotional disturbance which may be experienced as they do so.It is important that you never force a client to recall dif ficult memories. Some clients will feel strangely calm when discussing deep traumas and in
particular those of rape or abuse, and it is quite normal if they discuss it as if
talking about someone else. It does not lessen the dif ficulties of treatment,
but it’ s important to understand why this is the case. EFT should be used on a daily basis and done at a time to suit. It can be used
at any time during the day or before going to bed. After using daily for
approximately one month, the client should begin to notice a considerable
improvement. Module Seven

Heal the Body
In EFT, the same technique is used for every physical symptom but the
approach is very dif ferent and this willdepend upon the client’ s experiences
or the emotions that may be causing a problem in the first place. While EFT
is not a replacement for medical diagnosis or medical treatment, it is
comforting to know that no harm can be caused by using EFT . Some clients
will ask if it can make the condition worse, but you can reassure them that
this is not the case. When sudden or acute pain is experienced - it has to be an indicator that
there is something wrong with the body and therefore, should not be ignored. When pain continues for a period of time, perhaps some months, it is then
regarded as chronic and in traditional W estern medicine, this is considered
problematic in its own right. In fact, there are pain management clinics. As useful as this can be for some people, it is important to note that pain
management merely mask the symptoms but the underlying problem
remains. Of course, those who have lifethreatening conditions such as
cancer , medication is recommended because constant and chronic pain only
wears thebody’ s immunity down and, lessens the individual’ s resolve to heal. EFT is not going to mask any pain rather , the client has to focus on the pain
while EFT isapplied. In the first instance, the client has to focus on the pain and to ask
questions about it. During a session, you can ask them:
When did the pain first begin? The answer to this may be quite revealing especially if it occurred around
the time of emotional distress. Y ou can make notes of any answers as you
question your clients and this will help you to ensure the appropriate set up
phrases are in place. Here are some example questions as a starting point:
x Consider where the pain is most prevalent x How would you describe the
pain? x When does the pain feel worse? x What emotions are attached to these feelings of pain? x Where do you feel
the emotion in your body? If you have a client who is experiencing long-term and acute pain, you may
notice that through applying EFT , feelings of pain or discomfort may move
to other parts of the body . This can be a surprise for new therapists but it
may happen often. As a prime example, the client may feel the pain change
from the knee to the hip and the acute pain may end up as a dull ache. This is
a recognised phenomenon known as ‘chasing the pain’. It is called this
because EFT is then applied to whichever area of the body the pain has
moved to. Inform the client that you need to know whereabouts in the body the pain is
at the time of asking as you need to work on that area. Y our goal is to
persevere until you have managed to reduce the sensation of pain for them. This pain chasing session may take some time but it is very important so as
to allow any hidden emotions to emer ge. There has been much research into the benefits of using EFT on those who
have serious health conditions such as:x Diabetes  
x Parkinson’ s disease  
x Cancer  
x Chronic fatigue syndrome etc. We would recommend that only experienced EFT practitioners work on the
most serious of diseases but certainly many health conditions can be helped
through the regular use of EFT . By now hopefully , you will have seen the link between emotional and
physical health and the benefits of enabling your body to heal in a way that
is completely natural. Because you are working with the body’ s ener gy
system and allowing the ener gy to flow freely throughout the body , you
provide the perfect foundation for health and well-being. Problematic
symptoms often disappear once the core emotional or physical problem is
found. Having good communications skills will stand you in good stead and enable
you to help the client understand the benefits of practicing EFT regularly and
by learning all the techniques, they can continue the treatment in between
sessions. Asking leading questions is paramount and include:
x Are you holding onto feelings of anger or resentment? x Do you blame anyone for having this illness or problem? x Did any traumatic events happen to you around the time you became ill? x
How do you feel during the very worst symptom? If you have a client who hurts too much for tapping, then instead, simply
press on the correct point and tell them to focus on the breath as they
do so. Visualisation technique
In addition to tapping, clients can also practice visualisation techniques and
these can be highly beneficial in helping the body to heal. For example,
someone who is in a great deal of pain may find the traditional tapping
methods too painful but through visualization, they can give their immunesystems a boost helping to fight back against any health conditions. The
more visual they can be, the better . To do this, they must focus with intent on
the tapping or even ‘holding’  pressure and try to visualise the body healing. Some people use traditional meditation tools such as visualising colour . You will find that some clients will have a multitude of health problems -
some of which will be very painful while others can be less so. Never
attempt to diagnose medical conditions and always advise clients to seek out
professional medical help. Conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome are common because they are
often synonymous with stress and anxiety and although it’ s a chronic
disorder , once stress levels are reduced, often, the symptoms begin to ease. Symptoms include:
x Constipation x Diarrhoea  
x Abdominal pain
Doctors typically treat the symptoms and try to manage pain but EFT looks
at the emotional impact and potential triggers which include:
x Depression  
x Stress  
x Low self-esteemx Traumatic event x Anxiety attacksTo help a client who has the pain of IBS, the emphasis must be on their
letting go or releasing any deeply rooted issues and to concentrate on any
negative feelings that are being experienced. Many people are
embarrassedby conditions such as IBS or Crohn’ s disease (another health
condition af fected by stress) and this is often associated with anger , fear , and
embarrassment. Useful phrases include:  
Even though I am gripped by abdominal pain, I allow myself to be fr ee from negative emotions  and
pain. You can amend these phrases to suit the condition and the individual. Sleep
Many people who experience emotional or physical distress will find it
difficult to sleep and the harder they try , the more dif ficult it becomes. Sleeplessness can become a bad habit and over a long-term period, it can
eradicate health and impact health substantially . Having a good night’ s sleep certainly makes daily life so much easier and
when sleeplessness continues, it’ s important to focus on the underlying cause
of your client’ s sleep problems. Some people drift off to sleep very quickly
but continuously wake up through the night and find themselves not able to
go back to sleep. Others will feel that they have had a good night’ s sleep but
are still feeling tired and listless because their sleep is unproductive. It’s important to note that everyone has dif ferent sleep patterns. Some people
average 5 to 6 hours a night and this is fine for them, another person will
need 7 to 8 hours. Sleep patterns will change through age too and sometimes
as a result of medication. For EFT to be beneficial with sleep problems, as
usual, the underlying cause must be identified. Here are some questions that will help you to establish any root causes:  
x When did your sleep problems first start? x Have there been any substantial changes in your life that happened around
the same time as your inability to sleep? x How long does it take on average for you to fall asleep? x Do you usually fall asleep easily but then wake up several times throughthe night? x When you wake up, is it then dif ficult to return to sleep? When EFT is used on a daily basis, your clients are likely to notice an
improvement in their sleep patterns. EFT should be used each evening
before the client goes to bed. This is the best time as the client is likely to
find EFT relaxing. The client needs to create phrases (with your help) that
best suit their individual problems. Even though I am unable to sleep right now , I choose to r elax 
When the client has finished choosing their setup phrase, they can tap on the
meridian points using negative statements (to disrupt ener gy levels) such as:  
I won’ t be able to sleep tonight or , I never sleep right thr ough the night. They should use whatever negative thoughts pop into their heads. Then, a
positive sleep statement is introduced into the EFT setup phrase such as:  
Even though I am wide awake, I feel deeply r elaxed
The client must choose positive words as they tap on the remaining meridian
points and make this become a healthy pattern before bedtime. Often people
have poor sleep hygiene habits and by this, we mean going to bed at varying
times or , drinking alcohol before trying to sleep. Here is a list of bad sleep
habits to avoid:
x Avoid alcohol or caf feine before going to bed x Make sure that the room
temperature is comfortable x Make sure that the bedroom is uncluttered x
Make sure that the room dark  
x Remove any distractions i.e. T elevision
Swap negative habits for positive ones such as:
x Take a warm bath  
x Read a book  
x Listen to music  
x Listen to a meditation CD x Use essential oils
Many people find that their anxieties magnify at night and so, this constant
circulation of negative thoughts make sure they are unable to relax
sufficiently to let sleep claim them. W e all know that worrying has no
benefit on the body at all and so, finding out why anxiety is present can helpthe client to let go of any anxious feelings. Ask your clients to determine
their level of anxieties by using the W orry Scale and this is where they will
rate themselves from between 1-5 when they read out the following
statements:
x I don’ t worry about things  
x I am under pressure, I tend to worry a lot x I’m always worried  
x I never worry about anything  
x I feel overwhelmed by my worries By using the scale, this gives them
proof of their anxiety levels ensuring that they realise they must do
something about it. Once the levels have been established, they need to
create the appropriate setup phrase such as:
Even though I’m worried about my boss, I accept myself and I choose to
sleep knowing this will  
enable me to concentrate
The setup phrases are highly personal and so, once you have shown your
clients the type of phrases to use, it will help them to create their own in the
future and they can always adapt and fine-tune these important statements. Module Eight

you or your client will tap on the relevant points and state:  
x I am afraid to let go of (this experience) x I identify with (experience)  
After one complete round, they should then leave out the setup phrase and
instead state:  
x Even though I have this (experience/trauma) I want to love myself x
Although I have had this (experience/trauma) for so long, I want to accept
myself  
After each round is completed, the client should rate themselves identifying
whether the emotions are reducing or has actually reduced to 0. Sometimes clients will find it dif ficult to recall memories or if they do, will
have no actual associated feelings. This can be as a result of those
individuals losing their memories completely or even partially. They may
have had trauma to the head and damaged the part of the brain where the
memories are stored. Other people may remember traumatic episodes. They
may have PTSD, have suf fered from sexual abuse or domestic abuse. Whatever their trauma, EFT can help. If the client struggles to relay this
story, ask the client to tell the story as if from someone else’ s perspective:
x Ask for a description of sounds, sights or scents experienced at the time x
Ask for in-depth description  
x Aid recall by use of objects or photos  
x The client should write a story about the events and use EFT as a way to
reduce
emotional disturbance which may be experienced as they do so. It is important that you never force a client to recall dif ficult memories. Some clients will feel strangely calm when discussing deep traumas and in
particular those of rape or abuse, and it is quite normal if they discuss it as if
talking about someone else. It does not lessen the dif ficulties of treatment,
but it’ s important to understand why this is the case. EFT should be used on a daily basis and done at a time to suit. It can be used
at any time during the day or before going to bed. After using daily for
approximately one month, the client should begin to notice a considerable
improvement. Module Seven
