“There are many aspects for the primary caretaker of a person with Alzheimer’s /dementia involved… A situation like this brings up everything of the caregiver’s personal issues, from childhood abandonment, the loss of other family members, lovers and friends, old guilt feelings, money fears, to anxiety about the future…”
“I tapped until I didn’t feel any energy around these issues.”
“Mary was happy to tell me that she had gone from a 7 to a 3 in poor balance, short strides, and lack of confidence in her walk. We tapped a few more rounds and she was at 0 on those issues. She felt perfectly comfortable as she walked across the kitchen…”
“I have had great success using EFT for first aid situations. The latest was with my 98+ year old mother… she suddenly began to have a seizure…. at the first tap, the shaking began to ease…”
“I love helping people develop more nourishing beliefs about themselves and the world – beliefs that nurture and sustain – and feel good when we inhabit them. Nothing beats watching people awaken to themselves, their own thinking and the possibilities of exercising greater conscious control over their own lives.”
How to Tap:
From Feeling Bad to Feeling Better...
Adapted from The EFT Free Manual
Please Note: Before trying EFT, you agree to take full responsibility for your wellbeing, and for your exploration of these techniques.
1. Notice something specific that is bothering you. It might be a feeling in your body (tension headache, tight chest, heavy heart, etc.) or a specific thought or negative emotion in your head (angry about my friend, overwhelmed by work, my horrible boss). For the sake of this exercise, lets name your bothersome issue "this stress." Now rate the intensity on a scale of 0-10. How intense is this particular stress?
2. Do the EFT Setup. To perform the Setup, tap on the Karate Chop point (outside edge of hand, fig. 1) and repeat the following phrase three times:
Even though I have this stress, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.

3. Tap through the Sequence (figs. 3 and 4, several times on each point) while repeating the words "this stress..."


4. Pause to notice the effects of the tapping. Give yourself a moment to think about what has been bothering you. How intense is what you have been calling "this stress?" Has the number changed? What number would you give the intensity now?
5. Repeat the tapping process again. The second time around, we often change the wording a little:
Even though I still have some of this stress, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway
6. Exhale the words "this stress..." as you tap on each point, tapping until your intensity subsides substantially and you feel better. Repeat the whole process if necessary, until the emotional intensity is as low as it will go.
Is the problem still bothering you in the same way? You may feel a lightness or a distance from the problem that you had not previously felt. Notice the changes you have been through, and congratulate yourself. You have just given yourself an experience of EFT.
