EFT and how to help people overcome their objections on the set up phrase

[Guest guest]

Hi John (as discussed, this is the repost),

 

sorry about the delay - didn't get round to reading my mails until

midday

today and then was with clients til now.

 

ok, pre conditioning.....I mention EFT when a client brings up

something

that I think will respond well to EFT. I tel them that this is a

technique

which counters the anchoring of emotions in their energy field and

which has

been shown to work well in cases like theirs. Up to that point, all

is

well. Then I mention the set up phrase and that is where they baulk.

 

People just seem to have great difficulty saying that they accept

themselves

(in other words they don't accept themselves for who they are). The

very

thing that we are trying to work with prevents them from accessing

the

method.

 

I havea client who has a severe testicular infection and is in great

pain.

I ran through the procedure twic e with him - he very reluctantly

agreed to

do it. He says he noticed no difference in the pain and has refused

to do

it again. I have tried asking him what he has to lose (nothing) and

what he

has to gain (no pain) but he just replies that the method doesn't

suit him

and he won't do it.

 

This is a recurring theme even with clients who notice a change in

their

score after EFT so I am concluding that is me and my approach. I

have

translated the set up phrase into french and kept the meaning of the

original one. I have even tried modifying it slightly along the

lines that

have been suggested on the EFT group, to take into account personal

styles

but all this to no avail. What a bummer!!!!

 

What think you?

Hi,

Good question!

I seem to experience the same problem too when performing EFT on

myself. I feel like a fool talking to myself and have some

resistance to saying I accept myself.(are you supposed to say it out

loud or in your mind?) Also, I find it hard to keep focussng on the

reminder phrase when I'm tapping, my mind seems to wander to

other,related thoughts.

Also, if I understand correctly, you're supposed to be focussing on

the issue you're trying to fix, but usually I feel quite detached

from it when speaking the setup and reminder phrases.But then when

the feelings hit me over the head, I don't feel like doing the

drills.

 

Have a nice day

Oh, and besides, does anyone know how chinosis and EFT compare, they

seem quite similar yet chinosis looks more appealing to me.

Well, I'll just try it out this afternoon and see how it works.
