Module 14 Flashcards
What can you tap on palliatively with regards to emotional eating?
You can tap on the emotion driving the urge to eat. Or you can tap on the urge to eat (even though I want to eat this cookie…).
How can you hone in behavioural patterns with regards to emotional eating?
Are you in a particular place?
Are there specific people around?
Is there a specific time a day?
What are the three options for tapping on emotion eating?
Palliative (actual urge, or emotion), work through the PPP or gradual exposure.
Get the thing they are most compelled to eat and have them bring it to the session. Show them the bag of whatever food it is and ask for SUDs on how much they crave the food. Get it to a 3 or below. Give them the bag, ask SUDs again. Tap that down to a 3 or lower. Ask them to open it up really slow, SUD will probably go back up. Ask them to sniff it. Tap down to 2 or 1. And ask what they smell at that time. Mostly they smell the nastiness of the fastfood at that moment.
How can you tap on people that lose weight and then regain it?
Ask them what happens when they lose weight. Sometimes it makes them uncomfortable when they feel more attractive and there is some trauma on that or you select the things they are afraid of (they look at me).
What is the formula regarding performance? And what do you tap on?
Performance = potential - interference.
You tap on the interference, for example negative events/memories (PPP).
How is tone related to vagal activity?
When the vagal activity is more, your tone intensifies. Even a palliative approach can help with down regulation and help with the tone of voice.
How can you deal with physical performance?
The body keeps the score. Even though they have dealt with the trauma or they don’t report having a fear, the body might still have it stored somewhere.
Or memories where something went wrong in their sports, these memories could be found in the PPP. Or a coach/parent/adult that was harsh on them.
How can you treat physical pain?
You have to find out when the pain started, like a car accident or an injury. Treat the “emotional trauma” associated with the physical event that created the pain.
Treat the trauma associated with the medical system. This is secondary trauma.
Treat the trauma associated with receiving the diagnosis.
Treat negative events occurring around the time the pain began.
Use the Personal Peace Procedure with current stresses
What is a theory about pain?
Pain can be seen as anger, so it might be a good idea to look at who they are angry at.
Or treat the stress that is bothering someone. When the stress alleviates, the body relaxes, so a better blood flow/breath, and the body might be able to heal.
What do they say about depression?
One of the first things to look at is sleeping. You can use EFT palliatively on ‘Even though … all these thoughts/I have a hard time falling asleep/keep waking up…’
Limiting beliefs are also a big part of depression
