A client came to me feeling completely drained at work. Her boss seemed unfair and dismissive, and every day was filled with resentment. She hated going in. During our EFT session, I gently asked her to notice what the feelings reminded her of – and suddenly, an old school memory surfaced. A teacher who had shouted and belittled her in front of the class. The same tight-chested feeling. The same stuck energy.
We tapped through that memory with compassion, allowing her to release the emotional charge her body had been carrying for years. By the end of the session, she felt lighter – and surprisingly, clearer. A few weeks later, she shared that she felt differently about work and was able to have calm conversations. She saw her boss now for what he was: a moody, older man with his own issues. It wasn’t about her anymore.
She still had the freedom to look for another job if she chose – but now, she was making that decision from a place of empowerment, not pain.
A client came to me for healing for a sudden, bad eczema flare-up. In our session, we explored what was going on beneath the surface. Skin issues are often deeply linked to stress, and sure enough, as we tapped, an old memory emerged – tension in the home from over 15 years ago, connected to one of her children. She had been carrying that stress in her body all this time without realising it, and a sudden similar event triggered an eczema flare up.
As we processed the memory and cleared the emotional charge, she felt a very definite shift. Within days, the eczema flare began to settle, but she also noticed another positive side effect. and she also noticed a surprising sense of calm. The anxiety she had grown used to living with had quieted.
Sometimes the body holds on until it’s safe to let go. In this case, one session of gentle EFT helped her do just that.
