"I
gently, safely, and permanently release this anxiety about the
report not being done…"
Here, Leila was
using her version of a phrase I had taught her in a previous
session. It is my slightly altered wording of the BSFF ("Be Set
Free Fast", an energy technique that is a "cousin" of EFT) set-up
phrase: "I am eliminating (etc.)". I have found BSFF to be more
reassuring and more easily accepted if a client uses instead the
phrase, "I am gently and safely releasing (whatever)", replacing
the word "eliminating", which can startle or frighten some
clients. Leila wisely added to my phrase the word "permanently"
for her set-up and reminder phrases. Permanence can be an
excellent self-suggestion, serving to lock-in a positive
cognition.
She
also elected at this point to use the TAB (Touch and Breathe)
technique, where one touches each of the EFT acupoints in turn,
holding one’s fingers on it while taking an "easy breath".
This approach seemed to fit in with her quiet, contemplative
mood. After one slow and thoughtful round using her positive
reminder phrase, Leila’s SUDS level had come down to a
3.
"Sadness is
coming up," she said, "it’s turning into sadness now." She
was now recognizing the sadness which I had noticed before in the
expression of her face at the end of the last round. This
signaled that we could go directly to the sadness.
"Even though I
have this sadness…"
At
the end of the next round, Leila sat very still, her hands folded
in her lap. When I asked her where she was with all this, she
said "I feel calmer." And the way she said it told me that she
was calm in the deepest sense of the word. Her SUDS level, she
added almost in a whisper, was now zero. There was a silence in
the room as we all quietly shared her experience.
I
then turned to Rich to find out what he had experienced during
the exercise. He looked over at Leila, "I now
‘heard’ something you said here," he told her. "It
went in this time. It was about my withdrawing when I’m
anxious. I do. So while you were doing the EFT, I was doing it
for my stuck-ness about the report. My SUDS was very high to
start with. It went down, but I think there’s still
something tied in there that I’ll have to deal with in my
therapy with Pat. I’m not happy with my playing computer
games when I should be finishing the report up."
I
agreed that there were issues to work on in therapy, and we made
plans to do so. But this was a moving session. Leila had
reached a depth in herself and a self-support which can only be
described as spiritual in nature. She had called upon the
highest in herself, and she had received the help she needed.
Before she left she commented on how it felt to leave the
struggle to survive and to feel the warmth of inner support
flooding her as she went through the sequence calling upon the
positive resources within her.
The
peace she achieved flowed into me too, as I know it did for
Rich. Sometimes, being a therapist who is able to observe and
perhaps facilitate moments of truth in a person’s life, can
bring a healing not just to the client but to oneself.
