EFT and Dr. Ted

In this section, I would like to get personal so you might understand what EFT therapy means to me – I believe this is the information you will find most helpful to decide if you wish to have me do EFT by phone with you.

What Emotional Freedom Technique means to me

After doing many thousands of EFT rounds in the last 10 years as an energy psychology therapy, I confess I still get goose-bumps when I work with my EFT clients. It is a genuine thrill to be a small part of their healing process each day, doing EFT by phone or in my office that provides almost immediate stress relief for them. It is my privilege to aid them as life-long and recent emotional burdens are released and forgiven, and lives are changed forever. Not only do lives change in deep and profound ways with EFT, I am convinced this healing would be impossible using any other system of therapy. Emotional Freedom Technique is that unique and powerful, I believe.

Many times, clients tell me I am an intuitive healer. That is probably true, but even more importantly, EFT immediately felt like I found a natural tool the first time I did any tapping; I knew I had found something special. Probably more than other energy healing therapy, EFT allows me to fulfill my desire to help people improve their lives by working directly with the cause of their negative emotions. One of the greatest joys of my life is working with people to help them heal their physical and emotional challenges, and bring them to a point they enjoy a better life than before we met.

After being in active Alternative Medicine practice for 40 years, I have gladly and willingly allowed EFT to take over the way I treat my clients. During the 10 years I have used EFT I have been delighted and uplifted by the great improvement it brings to my clients as a great stress relief technique. EFT gives me a dependable way to eliminate the emotional burdens they carry, to say nothing of many of their physical symptoms.

EFT is now my primary method of care for all clients. The U.S. Center for Disease Control, a very conservative government agency, states that 85% of all disease has an emotional component. For this reason, I now start treatment from the basis that the cause of all disease is an interruption in the body’s energy system, using basic EFT protocol to correct the disruptions we find in therapy.

Clients are always delighted to have found someone who knows how to gently and consistently treat the emotional part of their problem, and the emotional part of their lives. They are always intrigued when I begin to teach them how to do EFT for themselves, especially the acupressure points. They are pleased to discover they can use EFT as an effective tool for the ongoing stresses of daily living. It delights me to know I have made each person I tap with more self-sufficient and independent for their well-being and happiness into the future.

My Personality

Many times my clients comment on my enthusiasm and energy while doing EFT, and they find this makes sessions more effective and rewarding. Putting energy and enthusiasm into anything I do is natural for me; I genuinely enjoy working hard and getting deeply involved in whatever I do. I trust this added effort helps my clients when we work together. I speculate my success rate for resolving specific EFT aspects and issues is 95%.

EFT is more than the outward or physical tapping process we see: it is not tapping that gets the great results for which EFT is known. Many people have learned where to do EFT tapping – the easy part – yet they do not consistently get great results.

Knowing how, by taking the time and extending the effort, to discover the essential core issue to tap on – this is what makes the difference between EFT success and failure. Great EFT results occur when a little bit of tapping is delivered to acupressure points upon the best possible subject while repeating the best possible set-up statement. This happens because I always do my best to make it happen.

In addition, I am an intuitive person who uses this gift in many ways. During an EFT session, there are times when a gentle and calm sense of “knowing without knowing why I know” fills me, and I am led to follow that sense of knowing. After so many years of receiving these messages of knowing, I do not question, I simply follow the feeling to learn where it will lead. Very often we are both pleasantly rewarded, with my client commenting, “How did you know that?”

My Training in Energy Medicine

I have 10 years experience using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), as well as Gestalt Therapy, Transactional Analysis (TA), Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Solution Focused Therapy, Neuro Emotional Technique (NET),and TAT. All these disciplines are used to complement and enhance the depth of my EFT work.

My Healing Philosophy

The Golden Rule – doing unto others as we would have done unto ourselves – is a guiding principle in life and in practice. Expressing the Golden Rule during therapy requires everyone is approached with kindness, compassion, and acceptance. In this role, I become their defender and advocate who discovers and corrects energy disruption patterns created by people and situations of the past. I work to make my clients aware that no one is born with the low self-esteem, anger, fear, worry, or the many other negative attitudes they often express. I educate them that their destructive attitudes are directly or indirectly learned from people and circumstances who directly or indirectly taught them when they were at their most vulnerable state.

Many people are stuck in past memories of their lives, stuck as though the stressful event was still happening. Being stuck in the negative emotions of a past event is the result of disruption of the body’s energy system that occurs at that moment. It is as though their computer software program has a corrupted file, and will not advance beyond that point, yielding only a stressful error message each time the file is accessed – sometimes resulting in anxiety, phobias, depression or chronic pain. They cannot enjoy or participate in the present, because they are stuck in those many past memories and events – I explain how they have been a victim of the past. I explain that EFT is a fast, easy and effective way to correct these energy disruption patterns, allowing the body the opportunity to heal and repair the negative emotion, and so be able to live in the present.

Using EFT today, I am able to assist my clients to correct those energy disruptions that occurred during those earlier times when we were

1. Too young,
2. Too inexperienced,
3. Too weak,
4. Too confused,
5. Too vulnerable,
6. Too trusting,
7. Too naïve,
8. Too tired, or
9. Too overwhelmed to protect themselves. In EFT, it is necessary to go back together to make things right. Once relieved of that stressful burden, it is far easier to time, effort and energy into today – and life gets better almost immediately.

This is how I see myself during an EFT session: Being the advocate, the “big brother,” who corrects the dark memories and endless wounds of forgotten stressful events. In EFT, I help the person I tap with to rescue, defend, explain, forgive and eventually come to accept the earlier past-self. Once we are no longer hostages to this energy disruption of a past time, the corrupted file is re-written with the values and understanding of today, and we become harmonious and accepting of ourselves. And so, with EFT, a better life starts when we “deeply and completely accept ourselves.”

My EFT Work

While I do some office work with people face-to-face, the bulk of my day is spent doing EFT telephone sessions. This is the preferred method for several reasons.

All of the great things that energy healing therapy can do for you can be easily and quickly in a traditional office setting or while doing EFT by phone. Phobias, anxiety, worry, sleeplessness, fear and general negative emotions are nicely treated with the energy psychology of EFT. After perhaps just a few EFT telephone sessions, most people notice they are clearly calmer and more controlled during everyday events and encounters.

The EFT approach I use is simple: we do not try to figure things out with a lot of psychological terminology or theory. Together we explore to find the famous “zzzzzt” that Gary Craig describes as the static or disruption in the body’s electrical system that is the cause of all negative emotion. I primarily incorporate the classic “Tearless Trauma Technique” into each tapping session so the inward progress we make is quiet and comfortable. When necessary, I can shift gears toward a more intense and probing search for emotional “zzzzzt” issues. I continuously ask for “tail-enders,” a rich source of thoughts and feelings that frequently bubble to the surface of consciousness while doing EFT. At the end of each EFT session, whether in a face-to-face office visit, or a telephone EFT consultation, I write a list of personal EFT set up phrases that were used during that session to use as follow-up homework until our next time doing EFT together; this enhances results by repetition of key points and use of accurate phrases.

All work is done in a comfortable, caring, safe atmosphere of cooperation and respect.

In Emotional Freedom Technique, my goal is to help each client contact the beauty and honesty of their true selves. With this simple little technique they affirm their self-love, reclaim the strength to change past incorrect and harmful thoughts and behaviors, forgive all people involved with past errors and challenges; all of this results in a fuller, happier, more rewarding and satisfying life.
