Having been trained in numerous energy techniques, I found myself become disillusioned with them when neither I nor my patients would consistently use them!  While I love Oriental Medicine, I felt there had to be a better way to offer something to patients that they could do between sessions to keep them on the healing path!  I learned about a different form of "Energy Therapy" several years ago, but found it too cumbersome. I "stumbled" on Gary Craig's website, downloaded the basic EFT manual, and voila, there it was...an easy to learn, easy to use healing technique!  Now I use it with almost every patient, and those who choose to use it, experience remarkable changes in their life, both physically and emotionally! What a gift to share with others! , Acupuncturist, EFT Practitioner & Clinical Hypnotherapist, L.Ac, CHt, EFT-ADV, MS, MTOM

Personally, I've used EFT for depression, physical pain, (including burns, back spasms, and migraines,) plus nausea, lactose intolerance, low energy, frustration, and much more.  EFT has not only changed my life, but my coaching practice as well.  I've now been able to teach hundreds of people how to use and enjoy the benefits of EFT in transforming their lives.  It's truly the most amazing, and effective emotional tool I've ever experienced.  Lindsay Kenny, Life Coach, Master EFT Practitioner, San Rafael / San Francisco, CA

The last client I worked with today was feeling great after 7 years of sickness. She had had a lot of diagnosis but no real improvement. Some days she was too sick to get out of bed. She wasn't able to hold a job. The last straw was she got dumped by her boyfriend. I didn't start there - that was too painful. I asked her to remember 3 incidents from childhood that hurt her. That's almost always my method. Each incident revealed key themes that created patterns of dis-ease. In 4 sessions she feels great. That patterns have been replaced. EFT gave her quality in life, quality that she never had before. That's why I do EFT. I love what I do because I see, everyday, someone come alive with quality in their life.

I was introduced to EFT the "hard way." I was snorkeling and got tired out. I had to be "rescued" and sat on the boat sobbing in terror. Fortunately, two EFT practitioners were on the boat and immediately started tapping on me, with my permission. The results were pretty amazing. Within seconds, there was a sensation of the terror flushing out of my body. The terror spiked 2 more times and each time, I was tapped on until stabilized.  This experience made a believer out of me and I have fully embraced EFT and other Energy Therapy modalities. I have progressed in my ability to apply these processes in some very creative ways.   Tom Porpiglia, New York

"Mary," called me to ask if I could help her with a very painful memory. A very shy, religious, and reserved woman in her fifties, she told me she had been raped by her uncle when she was very young. Her face was totally impassive as she said this. I responded equally impassively and asked her how much this memory bothered her, on a scale of "one to 10." With a completely "flat" expression, and no emotion in her voice, she quietly replied, "10". Before even addressing the actual trauma, first we very gently "tapped" for her discomfort at even coming to see me to deal with this issue. We tapped for her "not wanting to even think about it."

I then quietly explained to her that she did not need to give me any details that she did not wish to discuss, but asked that perhaps she could list for me some of the things that bothered her the most about that memory. She did. Taking things very slowly, we addressed each item on her list in turn, tapping for each additional detail as she mentioned it. What bothers you the most about the memory now, I then asked? The shame, she said. So we tapped for the shame that she felt...and I then reframed it for her..."HIS shame, not my shame, HIS shame, not my shame." A light came into her eyes. I waited a moment. "How much does this memory bother you now," I asked? Quietly, but with a twinkle in her eye, she replied, "It doesn't. It was HIS problem, not mine." One more EFT miracle. - , EFT Practitioner

Migraine headaches used to keep me incapacitated 25% of the time.  The worst part was never knowing when they would grip me.  After teaching me how to use EFT for allergies, Lindsay said I could use it for reducing my migraines too, but I was very skeptical.  They were VERY intense. But one night when I didn't have any more medication I got a killer migraine and used EFT as a last resort.  It not only worked quickly and completely, but I have not had a single migraine now in over 6 months!  Shelly T.

"I just wanted to thank you again for your help.  As you know, when I phoned you I was quite desperate.  My migraines were very frequent, 2-3 per week with about 4 days free then another attack.  I was struggling to keep my jobs going and taking medication daily, including Imigran.  I found both NLP & EFT unbelievably helpful.  I found the change in me quite amazing, as did my family and friends, as since our first telephone call I have been free of migraines for three weeks, when considering my record, that's an achievement in itself.  I feel very positive about my future.  I have not used any medication and feel I can start to live again.  I would recommend any migraine sufferer to try this, you have nothing to lose, only to gain."      Denise U.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Other Trauma

"As a 32 year veteran of the Los Angeles Fire Department and retired deputy Fire Chief, I have seen hundreds of horrific and devastating incidents including plane crashes, mutilations and terrible accidents.  As a paramedic I saw first hand the worst of everything and personally treated thousands of patients, many of whom died tragically.  I have seen the toll on paramedics and firefighters working under my command. In my own case, I had serious repercussions from the worst sights, sounds and smells from various plane crashes over the years.  One that was particularly bothersome occurred on February 1, 1991 at Los Angeles International Airport in which a large jet landed upon a smaller commuter plane while landing.  The human beings that died and were incinerated have been re-visualized many times in my dreams and in flashbacks ever since the event. One 5 to 10 minute session of EFT (with Dr. Robins) seems to have completely cured me of any emotional after effects of that event.  In my view, EFT should be adopted as the gold standard of "critical incident debriefing" for everyone in the Emergency Medical Services system and Fire Services."  Chief Alan Cowen, LAFD, Ret.

A client whose father killed the mother, found the mother dead on the floor at age 16. She had to leave home, as the father was so dangerous.  At 50, she was still panicked, depressed and sabotaging her life. We cleared this issue with EFT.  Her business shot up, she didn't divorce her husband and her life has been totally altered.  Randi Ettner, Psychologist
