As my daughter was walking home from school she heard a scream and as she got closer, she saw a woman sitting on the ground crying next to her pet dog that had been run over. My daughter was shocked from witnessing this and said she could still hear the scream in her head.
Being an EFT trainer, I knew the best thing to do would be to tap as soon as possible to release the shock and upset. Luckily she was open to doing some EFT! We did rounds of EFT on:
“Even though I can’t get that scream out of my head, I’m OK”
“Even though I can feel the shock in my body, I am allowing it to be here so that I can start releasing it and letting it go”
“Even though it was horrible and the woman was so upset, I’m sending her and her dog healing”
After a short while all was good and she was ready to get on with her homework.
The reason I am sharing this story is because I LOVE using EFT in my parenting.
Its a great way of helping your child to acknowledge the truth of what has happened without judgement and introduce some acceptance.
It is a tool that stops me feeling powerless when something horrible happens that it out of our control.
Its an empowering tool for your children to use themselves.
It gives me the feeling that I am supporting my child through this without trying to fix, make better or distract
It also helps me stay calm and stops me getting upset!
