I have been a practitioner of Energy Psychology for 12 years. I just attended, the ACEP tenth anniversary conference in Albuqurque, New Mexico, which was a testimony in itself! All of the people who were there at the beginning were still there! Others who have joined and who remain excited about Energy Psychology are enthusiastic and open to all of the possibilities on this Earth with a body of people who are balanced!
When I returned from the Conference, still Vibrating, I went to a small town on the Coast of Maine to present Energy Psychology to a group of interested people. I was prepared for the "ah's" and "oh's" as people experienced the transformations,but it was ME who would really experience the most profound and satisfying moment this particular night!
As I asked the group "has anyone here ever experienced Energy Psychology?"..... a question I always ask, a woman stood up and said "I have a story about EP". I was surprised and happy to see a woman who had brought her stepson (kicking and screaming, I might add) to my office several months earlier.
The problems present were (1) This was his new Mom (2) His Mom died 3 years ago when he was 7 (3) He had to move into a new house in a new town (4) His Dad was gone a lot because of a new job.
His Stepmom did most of the talking, explaining that he had no friends, that he refused to join any activities or events at the school,was beginning to fall behind in his school work, and that he seemed very depressed.
Indeed, he did ! He sat there while she talked, saying nothing, no eye contact, Just shrugging his shoulders when I tried to invite him into the conversation.
The session went on! It was painful for all of us. He did not want to be there, did not want to engage, and it seemed 'hopeless'.
I decided to intervene, and say that I did not see how this could work when he refused to engage and refused permission for us to do 'surrogate tapping.' They got up to go, then he stopped and he said (in a very loud voice) "DO YOU THINK YOU CAN GET RID OF THE PICTURE OF MY DEAD MOM ON THE BED?!!!!??? MY birthday is in one week, and I do not want to see that again!"
I immediately went into surrogate tapping: he cried: he stopped crying. His Stepmom escorted him out. I never heard anything again!
UNTIL THIS NIGHT............... as she told the audience about their trip home.... how I had told her to let him work it out; to give him space. She did just that, as he rolled down the window (it was winter) and howled out the window, how he screamed "NO" until he was hoarse... she kept her silence. She allowed him space.
The Stepmother went on to say that he was back to Honor Roll status, had friends, and is THRIVING both at home and at school! She told the group that the session with Energy Psychology had brought him BACK! My mouth was open! Even though I witness miracles such as this each week, I was amazed! He had shown NO indications that he felt better from the session!....................... THEN I remembered! Kids are such good actors! They keep their 'game face' EVEN WHEN MIRACLES HAPPEN!...... They keep their cool, game face, then make the changes as if there never was a problem.... simple as that!
When working with kids (and some adults) remember this! They are listening... they DO want help, and if YOU stay consistant and persistant, it WILL sink in... positive change will take place.... often when you least expect it!
