My Journey
Let’s start at the beginning…
My own experience with EFT began with some exploration on my own just out of curiosity.
I had been exploring a variety of tools for mental, emotional, and spiritual growth and transformation for many years including 12 Step spirituality, art therapy, journalling, the Circle Way process, and many more.
I am a life-long learner with a natural curiosity, so EFT was at that time, just something new to explore.
Witnessing the power of EFT…
The day came when I witnessed how useful and powerful EFT can be in very raw and real circumstances.
While on a study tour to Lebanon, I saw how front-line workers in an Aid agency were using EFT to help prevent vicarious trauma and burn-out in the extremely demanding work they were doing with people who had been displaced by war.
I was so taken with this real-life example of EFT’s efficacy at relieving emotional dysregulation that I began to explore EFT more seriously as a self-help tool.
Gratitude for EFT
I am deeply grateful that EFT came into my life in this gradual way. It became my “go-to” and was instrumental in expanding my capacity to manage the stress and emotional dysregulation I was experiencing during my partner’s PTSD diagnosis and its fall-out. I continued to study and learn more about this powerful modality, as well as several other somatic, energetic, cognitive, and transpersonal tools. I love the simplicity of EFT as a valuable self-help and therapeutic tool.
I know that EFT can help anyone who is working through life challenges, including recovering from trauma, grief and loss, and any life transitions. I also know that EFT is effective as a gentle trauma-informed approach to working the 12 Steps and other spiritual aspects of recovery, as well as a tried-and-true method of self-care for those who are supporting loved ones who are in recovery. There are endless possibilities for this beautiful and simple suite of techniques to help make life better.
