> When have I felt like this before--that's a great way to connect with the underlying causes. I tend to agree with your doctor that our emotions are very attached to our childhood, but I don't know about age 5...
~ ~ ~ Yeah - I'm not sure I agree about the age 5 part either!
> That shows that triggers, though subtle, may never end!~ ~ ~ This doctor does 'energy work' it's called B.E.A.M. Her belief is that by doing this work, you clear the childhood stuff, so that it's gone eventually & is no longer 'there' to resonate with the triggers. I think it's been a couple of years that I've been going now. And I do notice that some of the things that would have bothered me before don't as much now. BUT - I am doing tons of OTHER stuff as well! Group Therapy; another therapist; counsellor through Addiction Services that my son sometimes goes to; CBT workbook; EFT; TAT; Family Group through the mental health association regarding son........SO who knows what's helping. Perhaps everything is!
Anyway, here's a link showing the TAT hold. It's not the same as EFT.

You can also do a more 'in depth' TAT which includes saying certain statements. I have done some good healing for severe traumatic stuff from the past using this method. The site is
www.tatlife.com If you have any trouble finding what you need just ask me.
As to EFT, the first site I gave you have a good intro to it. "Magnus" - the guy on those videos also is offering the introduction to a 'tapping course'. That's the one that I did the Preparatory sessions & had such a HUGE shift in my obsessing about my son. The intro & first level of the course are offered free! Here's the link for that one:

Dinah - you brought up an interesting point. WORDS!! Anger can mean one thing to someone & something else to someone else. It brings to mind how my son used to say 'he yelled at me' or 'I don't like it when you yell at me' - and in my interpretation or it - it wasn't YELLING - it was raising one's voice. So our concept of the word 'yell' is different!
