EFT Questions Index ► Can EFT be effective
if I’m unable to "experience" the problem I’m treating?
Question: I
have suffered from a fear of speaking and reading aloud in public for many
years. When I prepare to do EFT, I often can't call up the uncomfortable
physical symptoms related to public speaking, making it difficult to obtain
an initial SUDS level. Can EFT be effective when one is unable to
"experience" the problem one is treating?
Answer: Of course EFT can be effective under these
conditions or Gary Craig's Tearless Trauma Technique simply would not work.
The premise of his highly effective technique is that it is possible to use a
general phrase relating to a trauma, purposely prevent yourself from
re-experiencing it, and tap on a global phrase instead –– and get a superb
result.
When you do Tearless Trauma you
do not try to visualize or in any way "get into" the original
experience, instead you imagine what your SUDS level would be if you WERE
thinking about it. Gary has found this way of accessing a SUDS level to be
just as accurate as if the person were re-experiencing the trauma and the
technique itself just as effective in healing the repercussions of the
incident as it would be if the person were once again suffering through it.
Those of us who have used the
Tearless Trauma Technique find that often the charge can be taken off of an
issue completely in this manner. However I will qualify this statement by a
comment. When a person's SUDS level has come down to a 2 or less when doing
the Tearless Trauma Technique, I find that they often will spontaneously
re-experience the original trauma or distressing event, but this time without
undue distress.
Actually, anxiety and emotional
pain does not appear to be necessary for healing to take place. In an article
in the Journal of Clinical Psychology, Roger Callahan reports on several
cases he has treated where the client was totally unable to access any
feeling surrounding a trauma, but was able to clear the issue completely in
spite of that. He concludes that "re-living" of the episode is
unnecessary for the tapping to work. This agrees entirely with Gary's
observations about the
Tearless
Trauma Technique.
