EFT for PTSD

Book excerpt: Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a terrible burden to bear. It not only affects people psychologically, robbing them of peace of mind and inner tranquility; it damages them physically. Traumatic stress can result from negative emotional experiences during childhood. It can also arise in adults as a result of war, assault, or similarly traumatic experiences. In scientific studies of war veterans, refugees and other traumatized groups conducted by respected researcher Dawson Church, EFT has been shown to reduce or eliminate PTSD symptoms, sometimes in just a few short sessions. It is based on Clinical EFT, the only version of EFT to be validated in dozens of scientific studies. This manual is the authoritative source for using EFT for PTSD, from the most active researcher in the field. It also contains special sections that gather together the experience of many physicians, psychotherapists, social workers and coaches who have used Clinical EFT for PTSD, and presents a picture of hope and healing.
