Hi Everyone,

Jessica Chavez provides us with this brief example of how to address physical symptoms by addressing the underlying emotional causes.

Hugs, Gary

By Jessica Chavez

For three years I have been experiencing intense migraines that leave me pretty much useless. I started doing EFT for my headaches about a year ago. At first, I would tap on the pain without much headway. Eventually, as I was doing this, thoughts would pop into my head. I realized then that there was something more to the problem than just a migraine.

GC COMMENT: This is often the case. When you aim EFT at the physical symptom and get little or no result, it is time to look for emotional causes.

JESSICA CONTINUES: My migraines had developed at the same time I moved into an apartment with my boyfriend. I am a messy person - I don't like cleaning and my clothes are often strewn about our apartment. My boyfriend, Louis, is very neat and we often argue about how messy I am. The migraines developed as a way to feed my laziness. I got them every weekend, with such an intensity that I was bedridden. This was my 'excuse' for not doing any housework. With this new knowledge of where my migraines were coming from, I started tapping with these set up phrases:

Even though it's not fair that I have to spend my weekends cleaningEven though Louie hates me because of my messinessEven though I feel useless because I don't want to cleanEven though these headaches give me an excuse not to cleanEven though I feel guilty for not cleaning

After tapping on these set up phrases, the migraines have dwindled down from every weekend to a few times a year. Now I only get them when I spend a Saturday or Sunday lying around the house, so I tap on the "guilty feeling" and the intensity goes from a 10 to a zero in one or two applications. It has been a great relief to have my weekends to myself again! And I'm still messy (maybe I should tap on that ;)).
