Anyway, you know when you find something and it just works or dare I say resonates with you? This never did. Did not feel right for me or something I should be doing. I never felt any relief just that it wasn't right (for whatever reason for me) As for it tackling the problem, the same issues arose time and again. I felt no relief. Getting to the core. Ugh...Everyone's got a past good or bad. I went through so much counseling and whatnot and finally I got to the point I just did not want to relive it over and over and over again. I had to release it. Sure some things still want to come and haunt me but I say get lost to them and remind myself that the past is gone and all I have is now, the present and I embrace it. By starting my life at the point I'm at now seems to work better than all the years of therapy.


Yeah, if something doesn't resonate with you then it won't work, maybe it was just the wrong time to try it, I don't know. When I first heard of it I thought it was definitely not for me. Even trying it initially I felt like a fool.

Yes, affirmations should always be positive as they work on the premise that 'if we are told something often enough then we start to believe it', it goes hand in hand with law of attraction.
EFT is not like positive affirmations (unless you watch nonsense YouTube EFT), it does seem to go against LOA, which worried me at first, but it is a great method for removing (not just glossing over) the blocks that stop the LoA working.

EFT is meant to rewire the brain, you think about the bad memory and the tapping (in certain specific places) is causing the neural pathway between the memory and its associated emotions to break down, it is then rewired so that it no longer causes the reaction in you. The link is gone.

I can understand you not wanting to dredge up awful memories again, especially when you are unsure as to whether it will do any good. I would try with a lesser issue first, that way you can gauge whether it does work, without having to expose yourself. Having said that, you never know what the tapping will uncover, what is connected. My friend did tapping for giving up smoking, she was confronted by memories from her childhood related to feeling abandoned by her parents. Floods of tears.
EFT can be quite draining and emotional, so you have to be in the right frame of mind for it.

I am glad you managed to release the demons and move on.
