Hi Everyone,

Many people choose to "stuff their feelings" and do so even into old age. This has consequences, of course, but Theo Legters from The Netherlands helped his father get beyond the issue. This article is brief and to the point and ends with .... "No psychologist, no nurses or doctors or whatever healthcare person accomplished what EFT has done!  And it proves that you're never too old to benefit from EFT!"

Hugs, Gary

Hi Gary,

I recently had the privilege to use EFT with my father.  He was very depressed after an obligatory move from his house to an elderly home.  He had lived for 40 years in a very nice home with my mother and all the children.  The move went too quickly, but was in my mother's best interest as she had a lot of knee trouble. 

My father never wanted to blame my mother (because she needed the move very much), so he locked his traumatic feelings in his system.  This went on for two and a half years with a lot of grief and pain.  So one evening he phoned me and said he would like me to help him.

So systematically we went through his 'forest of problems': his move, his longing for his garden, his loss of being able to cycle, the loss of a good past.  We tapped on:

Even though I hated it to move, I deeply... and

Even though I miss gardening on Saturdays…  We also took care of his present state, Even though I don't feel at home here right now... 

These sessions (we did two, 1.5-hour sessions) were very intense, because my father is very close-minded; talking about feelings has been a very difficult subject for him.  Being very tense since 2004 you can imagine the breakthrough (even small) when he said, “It's so relaxing talking about it now.”  After the second session my brother in law phoned me and said, “I was with your dad on his birthday!  And what do you know, he told some jokes!”

No psychologist, no nurses or doctors or whatever healthcare person accomplished what EFT has done!  And it proves that you're never too old to benefit from EFT!

Kind Regard from The Netherlands!
