Guest guest Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Hi everybody, Two days ago I started doing some EFT on a troublesome breakup I had, and the day after on being bullied when I was a kid, to clean up the emotional mess I know those things left me.... since then, I've been feeling pretty bad, which I solved today with some positive thinking and so, but the strange thing is that I now seem to have an excess of histamine, you know, itching all over, and my right hand has some, how shall I call them, not really blisters, but spots that itch and seem to have an excess of fluid in them, and I have some hives on my behind (hives are the swollen things that look like mosquito bites, right? english is not my mother tongue) Now I have this gut feeling that this is caused by a release of negative emotions. Am I right? This might be a stupid question, but I'm wondering, can EFT cause such symptoms, or is this a coincidence? Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Maybe you just did not go " deep " enough and still have some of it still " getting under your skin " ? Sometimes things like this work in layers. I had a friend that was having a similar reaction.... She did some celtic weaves in between sessions to strengthen her aura and facilitate the healing process. It might work for you too.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Good point! I think that's what the problem is. It seems like I'm very slowly peeling away an onion of forgotten hurts. Also, part of the problem is that I seem to feel disheartened to go deeper, it tends to make me sad and tired, even though I know it helps... Also, many of my trauma's have been repressed. I've been bullied for many many years, pretty much from kindergarden till the fourth year of secondary school, but I just don't remember much, even the good things are hard to remember.Even though for book knowledge my memory is great, my autobiographical memory sucks!hey, it just came to me, I should tap that out! even though I don't want to remember,I deeply and completely accept myself..... even though I don't know how to remember,.... even though I'm afraid of the pain I think I'll feel when it comes back to me.... etc. That's a good plan for tomorrow!now it's bedtime. As an aside, when I did the tapping on being bullied, the points on the outside of my eye socket and below, and the point onder my armpit hurt quite bad, even though before they were painless. Is it normal that the points change in sensitivity like this? And what could these points be connected to? I'm not well versed in the different meanings of meridians, so if someone could point me in the right direction? Oh, and please, if it's not in the archives, how do I do the celtic weaves?I haven't got the book yet, it's in my must-have top-3, but well, can't afford it yet....

I am going back to old unread messages. Seems to me you can think symbolically about these symptoms as well. Skin symptoms are very primitive. When you are a baby, your first contact with your mother is through the skin. You are touched often. Since these kids bullied you, maybe you were "burned up" by their behavior but were unable to express your anger (anger=being inflamed) and now it is coming out. When we talk about "contact" dermatitis, we usually mean you came in contact with an allergen. In your case, your contact with bullies may have been the "allergen." How did this come out? Did the symptoms go away soon or did they persist? Skin sxs can also be a sign of detoxification. Sue www.coachdrgridley.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXACTLY what I thought! My hands itched to defend myself, back then, but I never really did(well, except the one time I almost strangled one of them, but let's not talk about that:-p) > When we talk about " contact " dermatitis, we usually mean > you came in contact with an allergen.

Skin sxs can also be a sign of detoxification. > Sue > > Well, the first few days it was mainly itching hands,with liquid under my skin and red spots, and for some strange reason bumps on my behind.This all went away quite fast. For some time after I had swollen eyes and small blisters on my eyelids, on Bladder 1 I believe, on the upper eyelid against the bridge of my nose. Strangely, afterwards these spots have been discoloured to a brownish colour. Maybe I already had that before, but I never noticed... These blisters went away after I did EFT specifically on the feeling in my eyes. Ever since, however, I've still been feeling itchy all over. I should've worked more on it, I guess, but the last 11 days I've been going out every day(Gentse Feesten, a city festival you've gotta see one day!) so I've been neglecting that... However, tonight I'm going to do some Z-point, I think, I don't feel like spending the emotional energy EFT usually takes from me... Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but it tends to exhaust me. The daily energy routine does seem to do me good, maybe I'll feel up to the task after doing it.
