EFT cured extreme chronic acid reflux in two sessions

Many of you may know that emotional stress often underlies a range of physical pain and illness and that finding a way to deal with the emotional stress alleviates the physical illness.

I had a client a few years ago - we'll call her Sally - who had been suffering from severe acid reflux for 2 years due to irritable bowel disease, so bad that she was hospitalized several times. In the last few months it had started again. What would happen was that her stomach would start to burn and then the burning would travel up her esophagus and throat and each time she would vomit. It was extremely painful. This has been happening more often lately. The doctors had tried several medications, but nothing helped. They were out of ideas. Sally was open to EFT Tapping, an energy psychology.

EFT works for physical pain and illness

I specialize in a method called EFT-Emotional Freedom Techniques which is extremely effective for stress, trauma, PTSD and often physical pain and illness. It also works very well for phobias and anxieties, anxieties, allergies, addictions, weight problems and physical and emotional after-effects of injuries and accidents.

This is how EFT works

Researchers have found that physical pain is often the result of stress, which makes sense because when our nervous system is stressed or traumatized, it manifests itself in physical pain, among other things. For example, our muscles might cramp, our stomach might hurt, we might get a headache or a burning feeling, etc. So if we can calm the nervous system, it often causes the pain to go away. EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is great for this. We tap into energy meridians (it's like acupuncture without the needles!) while focusing on the emotional pain that underlies the physical pain. EFT tapping is more effective than many other modalities because it also treats the parts of us that may be afraid of change.

Anger – the underlying emotional pain

When she first came in, Sally mentioned that she was going to visit a relative we'll call John, with whom she used to be very close. This person was her best friend and had helped her through her family's madness during her childhood. But now John was very jealous of her for several reasons and so they argued a lot. Sally was angry with John and afraid.

When she talked about it, her stomach started to burn!

We started with EFT tapping and focused on the anger. The burning subsided and she realized that she was now aware that she was sad, that she couldn't share with John, and that she was actually giving up on him. This was a great loss for her.

Sadness – the second underlying emotional pain

We did more EFT tapping, this time because of the feeling of sadness and loss of leaving the relationship. The burning has stopped!

She had never been able to stop the burning once it started

But this time it stopped. She felt like things were changing inside her. She cried because she was so touched that this time the burning didn't get worse, rising up her throat and making her vomit. It just stopped!

Getting to the emotional cause: Healed acid reflux

At a follow-up appointment, Sally said that every time the burning started, she was able to stop it simply by starting EFT tapping. She didn't even have to go through the whole sequence of knocking. After tapping several times on her own, the burning never started again. In some other sessions we worked on another physical illness that was also healed. The acid reflux never came back.
