here is another interesting article i read today, about removing a deep fear of spiders.
. Thanks for the encouragement to share some of my stories as a LAY PERSON. I have quite a few, but my first experience was with a spider phobia. It was an effective way to demonstrate the effectiveness to myself which encouraged me to try it on many other areas.
In February of 1998 I ordered your tapes. I had become interested in the “tapping” phenomenon when I witnessed a friend’s grief therapy following the horrible tragedy of having killed a 14 year old girl in a car accident.
While watching the tapes, I accepted the invitation to tap along with the demonstration on whatever I chose to address. I thought tapping on spiders would be interesting. I had already done a great deal of work to reduce the size of my phobia but knew there was more to do. They still gave me the creeps. If I found one upon opening a cupboard I would be startled. If my husband was around I’d have him “remove” the spider for me. During certain times of the year I would leave the house with a broom in hand making swinging motions in the air as I went down the front stairs to swish their webs away (just in case there were any.) I always felt “surprised” to see them, anywhere. I actually felt like they were being deliberately sneaky just so they could upset me. Yes Gary, I know, interesting writing on my walls.
So, I tapped on spiders while I watched the tape learning about EFT.
The next day I walked down the sidewalk going to my office. I became aware of myself bending over, saying - as I watched a black spider crawling kitty corner across the walkway - “Well, where are you going you cute little feller?” I stood up and had to laugh. Never in my life had I had any curiosity about any spider and “cute” certainly wasn’t ever a word I would have used to describe them!
That was almost a year and a half ago. Now, as Dr. Callahan and Gary remind us, tapping doesn’t make us stupid, so I don’t play with spiders. I do however have a few daddy long legs with whom I cohabit. One lives in my cookware cupboard, another in my bathroom, another right where I grab the garage door to push it open. I usually remember to be careful so I don’t “startle” him!
After that first success I went on to many more. This last April I attended the International Conference for Energy Therapy in Las Vegas learning some additional techniques. I continue to use the methods by myself on a daily basis and in “peer sessions” at least once a week with two of my friends who are also “tappers.” We're diligently going after all kinds of "problems," getting lighter and clearer and more loving by leaps and bounds.
