EFT for sports performance and oral surgery
Hi Everyone,

Gary,
I have had 2 remarkable successes in the past few days regarding my 12-year-old son. The first is in regard to his sports skills, the second deals with a swift recovery from oral surgery just 2 days later.
I had attempted EFT with my son and his friend on the way to a soccer game several months ago. I attempted to use the traditional set-up phrase, "Even though I have this problem ..." which didn't quite work with 2 overconfident adolescents! After their team lost the game and they had no individual accomplishments from that particular game, they both gave me the, "See, it didn't work, Mom" attitude.
However, recently my son was up at 6 am preparing for a tournament. He candidly spoke to me about his nerves and fears that he would "forget" the things he had been trained to do once he got on the field. (This team hasn't practiced together - they are a combination group from separate teams).
I called him to my bedside and he allowed me to quietly tap several points while he talked about the negative situations he was mentally picturing. He is usually quite confident and doesn't often admit insecurities in this way. I didn't use an "I'm still a really great kid" ending; I just tapped while he spoke his concerns.
That evening, he came home with a medal - his team had won the entire tournament and he had 5 goals (more than he had scored all season), 2 of which were spectacular crowd-pleasers as well as several assists!
Two days later, Wes had an appointment with the oral surgeon to have 4 molars pulled for orthodontic reasons. He woke up nervous about the IV anesthesia, and uncomfortable about not being able to eat for SIX WHOLE HOURS before the mid-day surgery.
He wouldn't let me tap on him before surgery, but as he came out of anesthesia, I tapped him gently as I spoke to him, encouraging him to wake him up as the nurse had directed me to do. He didn't fight or bat my hand away and I only spoke "waking up, eyes are blinking" type statements aloud.
I continued to tap as it seemed appropriate over the next several minutes ... not every point, and not always speaking out loud, but I had thoughts of controlling the bleeding and of course, the pain that was sure to come after numbness wore off. I did direct him to roll his eyes, hum and count as I tapped the gamut point, to which he obediently complied, though groggy.
After bringing him home to my husband, I returned to work for several hours. Imagine my shock, surprise and delight upon my return a few hours later to see him up & around, eating comfortably, chatting cheerfully and speaking of being sore, not numb and with no trace of pain at all.
He has only taken 1 dose of pain medication and actually ASKED to go to school the next day, even though it would have been an excused absence through two more days. He has little or no noticeable swelling (which I didn't even think to tap for) and only iced his jaw for a few minutes as opposed to 24 hrs as directed. I am stunned, amazed and thrilled at how my novice effort has paid off big time for my son in these two keenly important areas in his world!
