FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Does it really work?

In short, a resounding yes. I know it's very different from anything you might have heard of before, but it really really does. (Just look at the testimonials!) Put it this way - if you do what you've always done, you get what you always got. So to get something different, you need to do something different - and there's no denying this is different!

Does it hurt?

No. It's very gentle. Occasionally one of the tapping points will be a bit tender, but if that's the case you just tap more gently on that point. Tenderness is actually a good sign as it means it's a really good point for that issue - so we just tap for longer, but more gently. Indeed, if it's VERY tender we can just touch it until the tenderness passes and not tap at all.

Are there any side-effects?

No. Well, sometimes while you're doing the Tapping Process you can have sighs, yawns, tummy rumblings, and burps. This is a sign that the process is working. So if you call that a side-effect, then yes. But in the normal meaning of the word, i.e. problems associated with using it, then no.

Do you have to believe in it for it to work?

No. It is absolutely NOT faith-healing and requires no belief. It works on babies and animals which is proof that it's not somebody's belief which is doing it.

I do ask that you keep an open mind on it, because if you come in determined that it won't work, then it probably won't, and you'll have the satisfaction of proving yourself right - but you'll still have your issue.

If I heal from that crime too easily, isn't that just saying it was a minor thing they did to me?

This is a totally understandable reaction, but it is based on an assumption that the severity of the crime depends on your continued suffering. We can use the EFT Tapping Process on that concern and not even try to heal the original trauma until you realise that the crime is horrendous regardless of how quickly you heal.

Think of it this way: Australia used to take literally months to get to, but now we can get there in less than a day. That doesn't mean that Australia is any nearer than it used to be (just as the horrendous crime isn't any 'less' than it used to be) - it just means we have tools to get there quicker.

A similar issue can arise when a crime victim identifies with being a crime victim - in other words, feels that that is part of her identity. Again, we'd use the EFT Tapping Process on that issue before moving on.

I cannot bear to be touched. How can the EFT Tapping Process help me in that case?

As a practitioner I much prefer to tap on the client as it means they can concentrate on their healing rather than on trying to concentrate on tapping as well. But it works just as well - just a bit more slowly maybe - if the client taps on themselves as I guide them.

If it's so good, why isn't it better known?

It is becoming better known all the time. But I grant you that it's not that well known. This could be for several reasons.

Many people are slow to try anything new - do you remember how we all sneered at the idea of life-coaching when we first heard it? And I'm old enough to remember scoffing at that mad American concept of therapy/counselling when it was first introduced in Ireland.

Some people will decide not to try it because they think it sounds so silly - and I can understand that, because it DOES sound silly - and so they never learn how good it is and so never talk about it. Also a lot of people who use EFT do so for very private issues, and so don't want to talk about it.

I suppose the question is this - if you're reading this, you are probably carrying a trauma. Do you want to automatically assume EFT doesn't work, in which case you'll carry on as you always have been. Or will you be willing to try something different - again, read all the testimonials - and heal your trauma?
