Guilt PangsPre-Therapy Session Chat Mrs T is a very stiff looking woman, though she does smile and is very polite, she stands up for what she believes is good and right for others, particularly her husband Norman who lives in a nursing home. She feels terribly guilty about this, but she was unable to cope with him at home. She visits him once a week on a Tuesday. She invited me round to her home on Tuesday morning, prior to her visiting time with Norman. I learned from her that she had a nagging ache in her lower back and that she had carpel tunnel syndrome in her left arm, from her shoulder down to her finger tips – which were tingling a lot during the time I was with her. She also mentioned her frequent ‘light-headedness’ and an ache in her head from her neck, across the middle of the skull down to her eyes, she said this made her feel ‘spaced out’. Therapy Session 1 As she didn’t have any pain in her head at the time I was with her, we decided to focus on the nagging ache in her lower back. This she rated as a 4 – not too high, but it was pretty consistent and it was annoying her daily. She had had this pain for the past 10 years and it was always with her. After a couple of rounds of tapping, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the pain had lessened slightly and then rated it at about a 2. When we had gone through tapping on the nagging ache a few more times, I brought in the emotional aspects that I felt might be helping cause the pain symptoms she was feeling. I felt that the back related to ‘lack of support’ either she was feeling that she didn’t have it for herself, or that she felt she was giving too much of herself. And she also told me about her left arm and that sometimes she experienced intense pain with it, at other times she could not feel a thing as it went numb. I asked her to explain the ailment to me, she said it was about a trapped nerve in the shoulder area which ran all the way down to her hands, where she could either feel tingles or numbness. I linked her arm problems to ‘cuddles’ and the lack of them in her life and I asked her if this was true. Without saying anything she nodded her head and we went through the tapping again, relating the back pain to lack of support and the simple thought that she was free to choose to give support or not and that she was entitled to have it given back to her. When we began to touch on the arm issue, I brought up the subject of a tunnel and that she wasn’t trapped in it. There was a light at the end of it and that it wasn’t the train coming the other way, that it was the warmth of the sun and that she was entitled to feel it in her life. She could choose to step out of the tunnel and into the warmth of the friendly sun. Tears began to well in her eyes and as I kept tapping for her, saying that she was entitled to have cuddle that she was a lovely, loving woman, a flood of emotion leap out from her. She wept as though she had not cried in a long time. We hugged and I kept rubbing her back and relating her tears to the emotions that were being released from her. She wasn’t trapped and that she could step out into the warmth of the sunshine and feel the love that surrounded her. She told me that she did have a wonderful loving family, but that there were a couple of issues in her life that kept her from showing her love and that she had bottled it up for a long time. She said that she didn’t feel worthy, and didn’t have any confidence. We tapped on these issues, then brought it back to the pain in her back and the tingling in her fingers again. She said she felt embarrassed, and that she didn’t know whether she was going to be able to face me again. But I said that it was okay and that it was only her response to things that really counted. I related to theory of the Palace of Possibilities and the Writing on our Walls, which she understood perfectly. She had had said to her many times that she had to ‘stand up for herself’ if she was to make any headway in life. And this had probably given her the ability to negate her emotions and gain the stiff back and subsequent aches. The trapped nerves in her shoulder, through carrying the burden of having to look after her husband and guilt because of having to let him go to a home, all brought about the ‘trapped’ feeling. She was denying herself the light and warmth that emotional healing can bring. At the end of the session, she said she felt less anxious and more calm. She was so amazed at how much had been achieved in so short a time. Session Length: 45 minutes All names have been changed to protect the identity of the subjects. This was a 1-2-1 EFT session
