Assessing Your Chosen EFT Practitioner Page 2
The EFT
practitioner’s job is to be certain that you have fully dealt with your
issue on all levels. Therefore, he or she should be helping you to test
constantly. I myself test a client’s reactions after each round
of EFT. I may have the client rerun the disturbing scene in their mind
(I call this “rewinding the videotape in your mind and then replaying
it”), or I may role-play with them so that they can re-experience the
scene, or have them engage in an actual real-life test of the issue if
possible. Your practitioner should be helping you to continually assess
your progress as you go along.
The
practitioner is skillful in helping you get “unstuck” when you
are “stuck” during EFT
How the
practitioner helps you handle being stuck (not coming down any further in
your intensity level) is an important consideration. How your
practitioner helps you get going again is very important. Handling the
blocks that inevitably occur during EFT is particularly hard for a person to
do for themselves and is one of the major reasons people consult EFT
practitioners. Your practitioner should be creative in helping you
handle being stuck. I recently heard a report of a practitioner who
just kept telling the client to “go home and keep tapping” when
they experienced difficulty with a particular issue. This is not the
correct way to handle such a problem because it adds nothing to what you
could have figured out yourself doing EFT at home. You need to be given
specific targeted strategies to handle the blocks which will inevitably occur
as you continue to work with EFT.
The
practitioner assigns homework to do between sessions
Although
some practitioners assign homework regularly and others do so only
occasionally, your practitioner should be giving you at least some
constructive suggestions on what to do between sessions to help the EFT
process along. This homework can consist of tapping on specific phrases
at stated intervals, or some other intervention. I give my clients EFT
Reminder Cards to use at home after each session, an extremely helpful device
(this is described in detail in my EFT Choices Manual).
The
practitioner protects you from experiencing unnecessary emotional pain during
EFT
Memories
of traumatic incidents from the past, or other distressing issues, may cause
undue emotional distress during EFT if not handled correctly. It is the
task of your EFT practitioner to mitigate such emotional pain and to see that
the EFT process is gentle for you and stays on an uneven keel. Your practitioner
should be prepared to use Gary Craig’s Tearless Trauma Technique, his
“sneaking up on the issue gradually” technique, and other
effective means of easing any sharp distress that might potentially occur
during your EFT sessions. The aim of EFT is not to have you
re-experience pains of the past but to heal them.
You
somehow know that the practitioner cares about you
Your
intuitive impression that your EFT practitioner is a genuinely caring person
who is truly interested in helping you, and who has the right healing touch
for you, is essential. The kinds of challenges the practitioner
gives you must be useful for you. Some clients require a more
confronting approach, others need a gentler, soothing approach, and others a
more conceptual approach, etc. You must be the judge of whether your
practitioner fits your own needs and personality.
In all,
you can expect to know after the first or second session with a practitioner
whether they are capable of shedding new light on your problem and if they
bring new vitality into your work with EFT. My advice is to follow your
intuition when making the decision whether to stay with this practitioner or
not. If you do this, keeping in mind the practitioner attributes I have
listed above, you should know clearly whether they are the right person for
you to work with.
