    Tapping In

    There has been some discussion here about a method of therapy for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I didn't mean to offend anyone about how established this is in the medical community, but I did want to again mention that it has been developed into a simple technique for other problems (like anxiety), that involves tapping on two sides of your body (this is a bilateral stimulation technique).

    I have been learning this technique using a book and the help of a therapist-- it is very easy, takes just a little concentration and practice. It can be used anywhere to relax you immediately (when you feel a need for a drink, for example). It has surprising results-- sometimes similar to taking a drink when you are stressed.

    For me, it is working extremely well. I have never experienced this kind of PHYSICAL result from something non-alcoholic or non-narcotic. It is a mix of the mental and the physical.

    The book I am using is called Tapping In by Laurel Parnell. If anyone is interested, I can offer further information.

        Thanks Beatle!
        I'll go look for this book as I had some very good results with EFT technique (also tapping) but did not stick with it as I can't pay for consulations and did not manage to learn myself.

            Well, the book I mentioned is written for the layperson. It is very easy to follow the instructions. I think it was helpful to have a therapist lead me through it the first time, but I could have done it without the therapist.

            However, I have some problems with this:

            -If I am very tired, it is difficult to get into it.

            - I can hardly come up with any happy, calm, peaceful memories to use (I guess that says a little about me)

            - It seems to work better some times, and not so well others (a bit unpredictable)

            BUT, it has been very helpful and is definitely worth a try... it is easy and free (almost).

              Dear Beatle,I have had the same experience.Sometimes it works Great and other times less well.It certainly never hurts the situation.My Brother followed along with the U tube tapping on anxiety just before leaving to get Chemo and upon returning home from it , last thursday.He said it did wonders, so that's a good testimonial .

                yes, and you know what, I used it when I went to the dentist, and it helped a lot as I sat there in pain and discomfort. And I have used it for other situations, non-alcohol related, and it is very good. Definitely calms you down and distracts you from that urge.

                  Very interesting stuff...thanks Beatle. I'm going to look into the book and, thanks to Evie, the YouTube video.

                    Thanks for the heads up Beatle. I am going to look for it the next time I'm on UTube - which I have all of a sudden become hooked on lol!
