Hi, I want to share with you a case I used a technique known as "tell the story" . This arose spontaneously in the course of the session was as follows:
Cristina is a patient whom I have known for years. For this, I have a picture of the history of his life. In this session we were going over some episodes that brought sorrow and distress. While working
address the issue of her ex-husband. The relationship of marriage had been traumatic for most of the time, and although they had three children, ended in divorce because their life together was not possible without serious arguments and fights, including there were many situations caused by his infidelity. We were reviewing
different episodes and aspects of this stage of his life, he remembered an event that shook. Told me that was terrible, his face bore an expression of intense anguish, the tears. Almost instinctively I began to apply tapping saying only "this anxiety", as he asked to breathe deeply. Reached a certain calm and then I said it was okay if he did not tell me details of that fact. He replied that he felt better and wanted to tell, so I continued. From his first words was obvious that this story was very difficult for her, so I told him that while he I apply EFT on an ongoing basis and gentle, not to bother.
He said that one night, at dawn, her ex-husband came home very angry (which was with her three young children), knocked very persistent until she opened it and then he began to directly hit in a wild, taking her hair and pulling it to the floor, where he continued beating her. Because of this scandal, her children woke up and witnessed the most horrible sight.
At the top of his fury, the man took a kitchen knife and threatened to kill her as she struggled as she could, trying to break loose and escape. At one point he got and was able to go outside to run mad with terror to a nearby police station. He received help and some agents escorted her to her house, making sure their children were fine. Then arrested her ex-husband, but that is another story.
Reaching this point was a moment in silence and looked at me, his face serene. Failed the tapping and asked how he felt. He said he was quiet, though a little puzzled. It was the first time I could have this event in your life without feeling distress peaks, which at other times made her mourn and interrupt the story. I asked to try to find the time of this story that seemed more intense. Replied that the time believed her ex-husband would kill her with the knife in front of their children. He added that could now see the image of the memory without being uncomfortable or distressed . It really looked like being freed from the emotion of anxiety for many years accompanied the memory of this episode in his life.
The idea of \u200b\u200bapplying EFT while the person the story is a very interesting technique I have applied at other times and generally allows the person to be specific in details of her story without interrupting to build up phrases many as might have been necessary in a case like the one we just share.
Until next time.
