Using EFT for Attention Deficit Disorder-ADD-ADHD
EFT often provides impressive results for Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and ADHD. This is surprising to most people because conventional methods find these challenges so difficult to address that drugs are often required to "cover up" the problem. However, these issues become much easier to handle when you take aim at their true causes.
EFT ignores the conventional methods (e.g. re-wiring the brain, enhancing focus or drugs) and looks instead for unresolved emotional issues such as anger, anxiety, fear, guilt, or trauma. Once these issues are properly resolved (which is what EFT does best) the ADD symptoms tend to fade and the client leads a normal social and academic life. (Note: If you are using Ritalin or other drugs, please rely on your physician regarding their use.)
This approach is common sense to most people because ADD or ADHD clients almost invariably have anger, anxiety, fear, guilt, or trauma from either their current circumstances or their childhood. Often they feel like they "don't fit in" or "don't match up." In such cases, ADD or ADHD become symptoms of those underlying emotional causes. Resolve the causes and the symptoms fade.

SPECIFIC WAYS TO USE EFT ON THE SYMPTOMS OF ADD/ADHD
I am Don A. Blackerby, Ph.D., founder of Success Skills headquartered previously in Oklahoma City, OK and now in Parker, CO. I have been an educator for over 30 years in various capacities. I have been working with students with ADD/ADHD for almost 10 years with a 90-95% success rate.
I apply EFT right away to ADD/ADHD clients by aiming at their specific behavior problems as they occur. So, for an adult, it may be that they keep disrupting business meetings with non-relevant ideas, or, it may be that they are having a problem focusing on and expressing an idea, or, they may talk incessantly and don’t know when to stop and listen. For students, it may be that they are arguing with their parents about having to do homework, or, they don’t want to go to school, or, they cannot stay focused on the lesson at hand. If either an adult or student is displaying one of the symptoms of ADD/ADHD (such as hyperactivity, distraction, not listening, etc), I will use EFT on that symptom. With high frequency, that symptom subsides.
If the symptoms persist over time, then I start looking for deeper issues such as current traumas in school or at work. If there is none, I look for past traumas which have been unresolved and which are manifesting themselves in the current situation. It is my experience that most anger, anxiety, rage, fears, guilt; etc comes from some un-resolved and unconscious trauma. The symptoms of ADD/ADHD are simply ways of acting out that unconscious and un-resolved trauma. EFT is wonderful for ferreting out the current traumas or the old traumas.
If a trauma cannot be found, then some of the causes may be allergies, toxins in the body, high stress and anxiety, lots of sugar or junk food in the diet, or just the stress of not being able to cope with life. Many parents are overwhelmed with attempting to balance a career and a family. Many students are stressed because our schools do not ever get around to teaching the student HOW to learn in the classroom. Therefore, every day produces high stress and anxiety for them and many times the ADD/ADHD symptoms are how they act out their frustration
The good news is that EFT can deal with much of the above and/or help ferret out the other potential causes and find relief for the client.
