EFT Case Story: EFT in the Aftermath of a Car Accident

EFT Case Story: EFT in the Aftermath of a Car Accident

Helen McCrarren, an GoE Trainer and newly certified EFT Master Practitioner, has written a case story showing that EFT can be used anywhere, at any time, and for almost any problem. In this instance it was used on the spur of the moment to help resolve trauma from an event that happened some time ago.

Helen writes: As I walked along the hospital corridor, I noticed Elaine, a friend of a friend, sitting with her head in her hands. I said" hi Elaine, are you ok?" She looked up at me with unseeing eyes and then she focused and she said "hi Helen". I repeated my question and she said "I am feeling a bit stressed". Elaine told me she had an appointment, that afternoon with a solicitor, to discuss a car accident she had been involved in two years ago. Elaine and her husband had been injured. I asked her would she like to try an exercise, that I often use, when I am very upset. She said she would try anything. I held my hand in the heart position and explained to her to do the same. I took three long deep breaths and Elaine followed suit...

Immediately I noticed her eyes become more alert and she became more attentive to what we were doing. I finished the round of tapping .I did not use any phrases just tapped on the points . At the end of the round she was sitting up straighter and seemed just a little more present in her body. She said that really helped and asked me if I could you do some more. I said I had about thirty minutes to spare if she wanted to come down to my office and tell me the story. Elaine then told me a very clear story of driving in the car with her husband when they noticed a car with a foreign registration number coming towards them on their side of the road and then how it crashed into them. She was thrown out of the car and so was unable to see what happened to her husband. After about twenty minutes the ambulance people arrived and they were taken to hospital.

It took her two years to recover from her physical injures and she still had not recovered mentally. She now hated being driven by anybody in any car. As she told me the story. I noticed that she clenched her hands tighter. She looked away from me and at certain points her eyes misted up and her voice trembled. I wondered what I had got myself into and how I was going to be out of here in half an hour. I relaxed totally reminding myself that it was EFT and not me that would do the work . I tapped on my karate chop point as she told the story because she told it very graphically and I did not want those images impacting my energy system.

I explained how the EFT story protocol worked and that we would try and see if we could get her stress levels down so she would be able to talk to her solicitor. Her sue level thinking about working on the story was -10 so our first round of tapping was. thinking of thinking about the accident. Sheย seemed relieved that she could just generalise it and not get into too much detail. Her breathing became more even and her body relaxed as she sat back into the chair.

I had become totally engrossed at this point and was very mindful of everything about Elaine. I suggested we tap on the karate chop .as we chatted about herself and her husband and asked her to tell me what she had been doing earlier that day before she set on her journey. This totally relaxed her. She became animated .telling me about how much she loved Gerry and what a fun time they had been having that day At this point she was at a +5. We then began tapping directly on the story and her sue was at -3 She tapped on." I knew we were going to be hit" Her sue was at -1. She stillย seemed calm and accepting and was looking me straight in the eye. We did two more rounds and she became quite still and pensive. She reported she was finding it much easier to talk about it and that no one ever allowed her to speak about the experience. I knew there was more work to do as Elaine is usually a very animated humorous person. We did some more rounds on the impact of the car and she stayed pretty even. Her sue went up when we got to the part of the story, when she realised she could not see her husband .She did not know if he were dead or alive. There was total panic in her voice. Her breathing was shallow. She began to rock back and forth. Her sue went up to -4. We tapped on, "I could not see him" and slowly she began to rock less. Her arms were still. Her voice became louder. She said "we were lucky."

She described Gerry as lucky as he had sustained fewer injuries than her. She was now at a plus 3. As time was running out I asked her if there was any piece she would like to address and she said the ambulance. We did this in minute detail and then she once again rocked back and forth and was shaking her head. She reported that she could not see her husband after the accident. She observed the ambulance personnel looking at one another and shaking their heads. She had interpreted this look to mean that he was dead. Remembering this again rocked her energy system. just three rounds of tapping brought her to +4. Her whole face flooded with colour. She let out an enormous sigh and she said I never realised that happened. This part only came out because we kept returning to the story one piece at a time. She said I hate the thoughts of going to the solicitor .but now I know I can do it. I was so glad she felt better. I met her again on Thursday and she still felt at peace about the event. The trip to solicitor had gone well. She had recounted the facts to him without getting lost in the story and was out of his office in 45 minutes.

What an amazing tool we have in energy work to improve our daily life and to make peace with the past. It is wonderful to be able to assist family and friends with a tool that actually works and makes a difference.
