6 year old Josh had recently been on a school bus trip and on the journey home, was hit over the head with a school bag by one of the other boys.  Not only did Josh have a stiff neck but he had refused to return to school feeling traumatized after the event.  His mother was naturally concerned on both counts. 

When I saw Josh I asked him to show me with his outstretched hands how scarey it was for him to return to school and see this boy again.  He reflected back with both arms outstretched  to the maximum indicating a 10 out of 10 on the SUDS scale. 

We tapped on:

• Even though Tim hit me over the head, I'm still a good kid. 

Just 2 rounds of this and Josh had no further anxiety and said to his mother with big smiles, that he was happy to go to school this afternoon. 

Interestingly, (many know it often happens) when addressing emotional issues that Josh's neck had totally freed up also and he was in no further discomfort. 

Such a quick and easy resolution is truly heart warming.  One can only imagine how long this drama may have taken to resolve itself.
