I’m frightened of therapy
EFT has no current known side effects
If you have never had therapy on an issue before, or even have had therapy, but are still apprehensive, this is perfectly understandable
You should know at this point that EFT is a very gentle therapy
We will not be going anywhere near any feelings that you are not comfortable discussing.
We have very gentle techniques which allow even the most painful and traumatic memories to be dealt with in gentle pain free ways.
Although EFT is likely to release emotions and a box of tissues may be necessary, it is rare to get what are known as abreactions, which is a more uncontrollable feeling of ‘losing it’, this should not happen because of the gentleness of the therapy, but there are ways of dealing if it does, so don’t worry.
Worries about long term alterations of the psyche are unnecessary as with EFT we are dealing with the very real feelings that you have, and reducing the negative ‘hold’ they have over your life. They are all your own real feelings and you will never have to say or do anything which does not ring completely true to yourself. You are not given new ways of thinking (maybe different), will not be ‘brainwashed’.
You will not be told that your feelings are wrong, obviously if you don’t want them anymore then you do not like them anyway, but feelings are real, whether good or bad, we just want to get rid of the ones you don’t want. Simple as that!
