I googled EFT Forums today and "re" found Pavlina. I had been here a year and a half ago and now find myself back here by surprise.

I have been doing EFT off and on for several years. Initially more off than on b/c I got little results and b/c I found absolutely noone who believed in it. But I found ways to really get at the underlying issues in my life through EFT. I don't give up.

To Sanity Panda - most of my tapping is actually done by visualizing. I do this for several reasons: sometimes I do this when I am in public and sometimes I do it at home when I feel paralyzed by something. I thought this would be crazy and actually started doing it before I read about it on the EMOFREE.com website. But I have done much reading about the intersection of the mind and brain and there are documented studies of visualization having the same effects as physically doing an activity. That simply confirmed the theory in my mind.

I am not familiar with TAT and will definitely look into it. But the EFT works well for me and helps me get at the deepest wounds that are lost to my unconscious mind. It doesn't happen on the first round but I will work on an issue for days on end. For instance, Saturday night I came down with a sinus infection. I tapped on it and got no relief. I got the word Resentment but could not get to the bottom of it. I have tapped several times a day for several days and finally today, Thursday, I got it and when I did my sinuses cleared up and suddenly I could breath. It amazed me. The underneath that was revealed was an intense self-hatred. I have more work to attach that to a specific memory but I suspect that people often quit too soon. I have done that over the years and have learned to not give up.

At times I am so far from identifying anything specific and so I will keep tapping on this vague word until in time I make progress.

But I will definitely check out TAP. If it works faster then no need to waste my time.
