Chronic Illness can be transformed using EFT. That’s a message that is challenging for many people to ‘get their heads around’. Sometimes even for me … and I’ve lived it!
At the core of chronic illness or injury are life’s unresolved emotional and traumatic experiences, along with the resulting limiting beliefs and patterns of behaviour that generate and sustain the dis-ease.
In my own case, a lifelong belief that I wasn’t good enough, created a pattern of over-working and over-responsibility which, at age 37, resulted in severe panic attacks and constant headaches that stopped me from functioning in the world. Now – no one looking at me would have ever suspected the ‘imposter syndrome’ that I lived with and I didn’t even realize that’s what I was doing – until my body simply gave out.
I’d like to bring a powerful person and a wonderful resource to your attention – someone else whose body finally gave out from the weight of fear and who has transformed her life-using EFT. Annabel Fisher is a colleague of mine. She is a certified AAMET EFT trainer out in Vancouver and Annabel has just released her book, ‘The Healing Game – Transforming Chronic Illness Using EFT’. At one point in her life, Annabel was trapped in a body that barely functioned, desolated and utterly and relentlessly exhausted, wracked with pain, unable to sleep and intolerant to so many foods that she could barely nourish herself.
For me, I went to 13 different doctors in my quest to find an answer – Annabel did even more, trying every conventional and complementary alternative out there. Lots of therapy (cognitive behavioural), lots of body work (massage, reiki, yoga, chakra balancing), and lots of nutritional therapy. She says in her book,
“I was gluten-free, caffeine-free, alcohol-free and dairy free….But I wasn’t free! Despite all I’d tried, while there had been some minor relief, I was still sick. I was overcome with helplessness, hopelessness and suicidal thoughts.”
I want you to know about this book – it is compelling and it is easy to read. It makes the connection between mind-body in terms that laypeople can understand. It is honest; EFT is not a magic overnight pill for healing chronic issues. Annabel has a light touch when dealing with heavy issues.
If you have a chronic issue – or you work with clients who suffer or have family and friends who are struggling – this book may generate that little bit of optimism that could jump-start their transformation back into health.
It is filled with short case study after case study from the thousands of people Annabel has worked with who were given serious diagnosis; lupus, crohn’s, fibromyalgia, PTSD, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, adrenal fatigue, multiple sclerosis, chemical sensitivities, and who have found emotional freedom and in many cases, physiological healing with their committed use of EFT.
And – finally – if you don’t have a chronic issue, yeah! I would be so happy if reading this book helped you to identify some issues and behavioural patterns that would lighten the load on your body and keep it vibrant and happy. That’s what you deserve!
A final quote from Annabel,
“Almost everyone that I’ve worked with, myself included, became ill when they lost touch with their true, authentic self.”
Drop me an email at Nancy.Forrester@NeftTI.com and we’ll have a conversation about all this.
