Panic Attacks and Punish Me Syndrome.

Statistically 10% of the population suffers from panic attacks and another 30% from anxiety disorder. This is not only true of Malaysians but also of the world. Surprised? Why should we be? Is this not a bad and scary world that we are living in? At anytime an earthquake could open up the earth under our feet and swollen us up or a mad guy may decided that nuclear war is tactically sound or a suicidal zealot may decide to go to heaven by sending everyone else to hell? All that can easily be push back into the dark recesses of our mind (and that's where it will always be, a niggling uneasiness) but for the sufferers of PA and AD it is illogically very real.
I normally need 2-6 sessions to help people with PA and AD with EFT. This is much faster than conventional talk or cognitive therapy. However last week a client who had been waking up with panic attacks for two years told me in the following session that the episodes are gone! Wow! that was fast. Sometimes EFT even surprise me with its results.
I had another client who as a child was arbitrary punished without excuse or his defence being allowed. He soon surrendered to the punishment meted out as something expected and not to be questioned even if he was not in the wrong. Like Pavlov's dogs he soon expects some form of punishment even as an adult and if none is forthcoming he will unconsciously punish himself emotionally or with psychosomatic pain. No amount of painkillers or physiotherapy could help him. I had to work on forgiveness and healing at cellular level to help him overcome it.
Do we all need EFT to help us in life. A resounding YES! As far as I am concern we are emotional beings that have forgotten how to process our emotions and had instead learn to ignore and repressed it. It will come back to haunt us in ways we least expect and affects our quality of life and happiness.
