Qualified teacher and EFT Practitioner, Jacqui Footman from EFT Devon, shares her experience of introducing Secondary School students to EFT Tapping for building resilience and well-being post-COVID.
In this interview Jacqui talks about:

Lots of useful info about EFT for PTSD.

Simon attended the aftermath of the 7/7 London Terrorist attacks as a senior paramedic, and subsequently developed Complex PTSD (C-PTSD). He underwent Emotional Freedom Techniques Therapy (also known as 'tapping') and says 'it changed his life' - here's Simon's story.

"I started to struggle with the day-to-day incidents and my tolerance levels were very low. My symptoms included irritability and poor sleep. I suffered nightmares about that day. They were a jumbled frightening mess. I kept getting triggered by incidents of the day at work and I would go into a trance-like state. I would be more there than here.

My eczema broke out and it was so severe that I had to wear a bandage soaked in an emollient cream. I had an infection in both my legs and needed antibiotics. I also noticed that I had an abhorrence for cooking and eating pork chops. I realised later this was due to the sight and smell of the burn injuries.

I became isolated and introverted and I couldn’t face going out. A friend was in contact with a therapist, and she asked if she could pass on my details. I agreed and a consultant psychotherapist recommended that I begin EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) with a therapist who specialised in Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD).

My first session began over SKYPE. I was nervous because I didn’t know what to expect. My EFT therapist explained how the treatment worked and we took things at my pace. I noticed that my eczema started to clear up quickly. My sleep patterns improved. My mood lifted. I felt more able to cope with life and my job. I was no longer triggered by sounds and smells.

During the sessions, there were periods when I had no recollection of what happened. We progressed slowly from the last thing I could remember. That calmed me. I was gradually able to remember more detail.

We kept tapping until I remembered everything and we tapped away all traces of the remaining emotions. We tapped away emotions like fear, rage, anger, disgust, guilt, sadness, grief. I once remarked that I thought I should be feeling something My therapist said, ‘it’s just the tapping doing its job. It doesn’t mean you don’t care’.

At the end of my treatment, my therapist explained that the last part was being able to tell the story of what happened. Up until then we were only using guesses and other ‘psychological distancing’ techniques. I couldn’t believe that I was able to talk about everything and there was nothing, no emotional reaction at all. I was also able to eat pork again!

I had six sessions in all. Since the sessions I have had no flashbacks, nightmares or any lasting problems. I haven’t had eczema since my sessions.

I would recommend EFT to everyone. It’s a life changer.”
