There
is no doubt that traumatic experiences can cause major, ongoing
emotional problems. But so can a multitude of smaller events that
might seem nothing to the casual observer. Criticism, failure, self
doubt, the overheard unkind remark, and limiting beliefs about yourself
lead to a diminished sense of self worth. This can lead to obvious
mental health issues such as depression or anorexia.
It
can also contribute to problems nobody else might notice:
- lacking
the confidence
to go for that job you want or talk to the girl you fancy,
- being
too shy to go to parties,
- being
unable to communicate with your children,
- procrastinating
till you miss the deadline,
- tension
headaches,
- overworking
to prove yourself,
- letting
yourself be bullied,
- minor
fears or
- major
phobias.
You
might not be mentally ill, but you’re not entirely healthy either.
EFT
can be used to clear a wide range of things:
-
the car accident that still gives you nightmares
- the
memory of all the times your father called you stupid
-
the phobia that stops you from using lifts
-
the belief that you’re no good at sport
-
your current anger at your son for forgetting to pick up the groceries
-
the dull throb at the base of your neck that makes you snappy
with everybody
-
the negative body image that forces you to starve yourself
