Issue: Angela came in with the issue of fear of lizards. And now that she was re-locating to an African country where reptiles were commonly found in homes, it gave her sleepless nights. When she spoke to me over the phone, I could sense her anxiety and fear to the top level. She could merely describe her feelings in exact words, rather it was more of an outburst. Hence, we decided to meet virtually on a video call
Resolution: Since I am a EFT practitioner, we decided to use this technique to address her fear of lizards. Before the tapping, I asked her the level of her fear on a scale of 10. To this she said, it is beyond 10. We started with the first round of tapping using a simple statement – “Even though I am completely fearful of lizards and their sight gives me panic attacks and the feeling that I am going to die, still I choose to heal, integrate and forgive that part of me.” We tapped for about 4-5 rounds and then she said that her anxiety was coming down.
We then tapped for another two rounds and she said she could see an image faintly of a dead woman being brutally murdered by her grandfather. This was showing that she was intuitive enough to see what the fear of lizard was representing. And then she shared that her grandfather was sentenced to prison for this and that all his life he said he was not guilty. The family was believing the grandfather, but the villagers were not. It was said that this woman was an extra-marital affair of the grandfather. When she conceived and threatened to confront him in front of his wife, he killed her. He was too fearful of his truth coming out.
Hence, we decided to change the statement to – “Even though I am carrying this fear people knowing the truth of my sins, still I choose to heal, integrate and forgive that part of me.” We tapped for about 30-40 minutes and Angela reported of feeling that a huge burden was off her shoulders. For this first time in her life, she felt that she was breathing easily. And then with a few more rounds, she did not fear the lizards at all.
Understanding: Her fear of lizards was actually connected to the fear of her grandfather. When that issue was addressed, her fear of lizard went away. EFT can certainly help people to find the core issues of their problems and then release it too effortlessly.
