Hello Dirk, Good advice.  Just to add to that, EFT Master Loretta Sparks, suggests using a round of Collarbone Breathing prior to an EFT session or before an activity that requires focus.  This is not needed for everyone (although it could not hurt) but for those who struggle with getting and staying focused.  You can find an ...

Hello Shaila, First, you need to tap on forgiving yourself and give yourself credit for being a good, loving and humanly flawed parent.  I do not want to pour salt in your wound, however, I would guess that your daughter does remember the incident and if she does not she may still carry the energy of that hurt.  I speak from ...

Hello again, I think it is a great idea for you to tap on all of your issues surrounding your son's food preferences or lack thereof.  It sounds as if it bothers you far more than it bothers him.  You can surrogate tap for him (does not have to be in his presence or with his knowledge or consent) to make good healthy food choices ...

Hello Lesley, It sounds like your son is exercising some new found autonomy and pushing your buttons is just a bonus.  It is not unusual for even very good eaters to get very fussy at this age.  The more you push, the more he will push back.  If you can give him reasonable food choices and not allow him to live on total junk, he ...

Hello Mom, Your son's reaction is not surprising.  His fantasy become reality for one brief moment and was shattered.  Reassure your son that you are his real mother and that he is truly your child born of your heart.  You are way too tied into this whole situation to go it alone.  I stongly urge that you ...

Hello Carol, I saw a 9 year old girl in my office for some general anxiety issues.  She was constantly scratching here and there throughout the session. I finally asked her why she was scratching and she said it was allergies.  Her Mom said they did not know what she was allergic to.  I suggested that maybe she was ...

Hello Lesley, I would say you did an admirable job with your son.  It sounds as if he is quite a sensitive and imaginative young fellow.  Perhaps you could begin a session with a round of tapping for, "Even though I have this feeling/issue, I choose to allow myself to release it gently and easily."  You might ...

Hello Olga, The idea behind EFT is that, virtually, all physical manifestations and illnesses are the result of unresolved emotional conflict.  That said, one would need to know more about your son and his history with the stuttering to offer some effective advice.  If he has recently begun to stutter, what has happened in his life in ...

Hello Kathryn, You are doing exactly as you should to ease this little guy's burden.  If he is open to tapping, you might help him identify his feeling even if he doesn't know why.  Given his traumatic past and current situation with a fragile baby sister, I would suggest that your nephew needs more than you can offer.  He ...

Hello, First, allow me to say that your son is well within the normal age limits of bowel training although it is never soon enough for the parents. Second, what do you mean by difficulty with stool formation?  If all is functioning well, he should get the hang of, just like any other child his age.  Please share a little more ...
