Hi Everyone,

Over the last few years I have been blessed to work with a number of special needs children in my practice (especially those diagnosed on the autism spectrum). 

I love this type of work, but in most cases I will insist that the parent first does work on themselves for their emotions before I start working with their children.  I do this for two reasons. First, I think it is very important that parents know EFT so they are able to continue to do work with their children in an ongoing fashion. Second, it is very important that we are emotionally clear when we are going to help or support someone else in any setting. The more emotionally clear we are the more present we are going to be to those we are serving.  This is particularly important to parents of special needs children.

When I first work with parents there is a series of truth-statements that I use to help parent focus in on the areas that need the most attention.

The list is very easy to use.  Read the statement out loud and see how true it rings.  Not feeling true at all would rate a 0.  Completely true would rate a 10.  Go through the whole list writing your rating down for each statement.  After you have done the whole list, start with the areas that ring the most true.

GC COMMENT: This also an excellent exercise to search for the specific events underlying these globally stated issues. More efficiency is often possible when going to this deeper level.

Important note: While EFT has produced remarkable clinical results, it must still be considered to be in the experimental stage and thus practitioners and the public must take complete responsibility for their use of it. Further, Gary Craig is not a licensed health professional and offers EFT as an ordained minister and as a personal performance coach. Please consult qualified health practitioners regarding your use of EFT.
