EFT calms a child's upset--creative approach
Hi Everyone,
Children are easily upset by the happenings in the world around them and sometimes these upsets carry over into adulthood and create lifelong limits and fears. Fortunately, we can often catch the problem early as was the case with Kim Eisen and her great niece. Note how Kim makes several attempts before landing on the correct approach.
Hugs, Gary
Hi Gary, (more for the kids)
Children love animals normally, until something happens to make them think differently. I had my great niece over and my older cat, who isn't used to children's noise and advancements, gave her a little scare when she went up to pet her; the cat slapped her with its' paw and she got scratched. The child got so upset and I couldn't stop her from crying, so I asked her if we could try something to help her feel better and she said 'yes'.
I told her that she had magic buttons to make her feel better and asked her to say what I say and follow me where I tap and I was going to tap on her first so she would know what to do. So, I started with Even though (pet) hit me, I'm still a good kid, 3 times while tapping the KC point.
Then we did the Basic Recipe with the reminder phrase (pet) hit me. No success. Next, I tried, Even though I think (pet) doesn't like me, I'm still a good kid, and then the Basic recipe. No success. Then, Even though (pet) is not used to little kids, I still love myself. No success.
Hmmmm. Then I tried, Even though (pet) hurt my feelings and I don't know why she did that to me, I'm still the greatest kid, ever, with the reminder phrase, (pet) hurt my feelings and I don't know why she would do that to me. Bingo. Done. She's happy.
Going through this again, I did notice my going after the event instead of the feeling was what held up the neutralization. Even though I know better...
Often when this happens to a child, they are fearful of that same animal from that time on. But, when she showed up two weeks later, she ran in asking where (pet) was and went right up to her and started petting her like nothing had ever happened. And, thankfully the pet was on her best behavior.
