I did some EFT for the first time with my therapist yesterday. She walked be through the points after going through the numbers of what I am trying to release (smoking cigarettes addiction).

Honestly it seemed odd and not long after the session went for the cigarettes instead of tapping. I will continue to try it though and plan to spend some time today reading up more. I think my therapist sent me some additional information as well.

I want to believe in it as at least one tool to support my real desire to rid myself of the addiction.

Thanks for the thread. I look forward to reading and hearing about others experiences.

FF... Yes.... keeping on with EFT is important. It sometimes takes some time to change a habit like smoking, or any emotional patterns that might be involved with it too.

This is sort of a similar topic. I thought I'd bring this up by posting what was on the Coast to Coast Radio last night - the old Art Bell Show:

September 5, 2011 coasttocoastam.com

Coast Insider Audio

Power:

On Sunday's show with George Noory, author, therapist, and lecturer Burt Goldman shared his techniques for healing, developing creative abilities, and enhancing one's well-being.

Goldman shared a technique (a variation on EMDR therapy), for overcoming psychological traumas. A person reenacts the trauma in their mind and then rapidly moves their eyes to the extreme left, and then extreme right for 10 second periods. By repeating this exercise three times for a total of 30 seconds, the problem can be resolved, he claimed.

the book I'm reading is about "esm" (emotional self management) a variation on eft.. and a little emdr is incorporated in it, along with another thing or two. it's a really interesting book. I am nearly finished.. haven't been doing the tapping but I am running out of excuses since I'm almost done and already passed the part where you can try it on yourself.. So my procrastination party is about over lol

I'll be sure to post about my results. the book is called Instant Emotional Healing for those curious

Too funny, I can't relate at all.

"Even though I'm running out of excuses, I deeply love and accept myself." again and again, with your palm on your heart center, and breathing.

You might throw in the EMDR eye movement thing as an enhancement.

EMDR did some good for me though it wasn't as smooth going as my therapist promoted. However with the EFT I lost interest pretty quickly. Perhaps I will pick it up again soon. I just couldn't really make a connection to the process.
