EFT Stress Reduction Techniques for Disease & Pain

 

Strategies:   

  • 1. Tap regularly using Basic Recipe with these setup statements. 
  • 2. Tap on the physical pain and emotion whenever it starts.

 

Techniques:

 

1. Where it all began: Tap on the situations and feelings around the time the disease/pain first started.

“Even though I’ve had this disease/pain since ________________,

 I deeply and completely accept myself.”

“Even though this disease/pain is related to _____________,

 I deeply and completely accept myself.”

 

2. That reminds me: Who or what does the disease/pain remind you of?

“Even though I have this disease/pain and it reminds me of _____________,

I deeply and completely accept myself.”

 

3. Triggers: What triggers the onset of the symptoms/pain? Tap on the triggers and the feelings they cause.

“Even though this disease/pain gets triggered whenever _____________ and that

makes me feel ________________, I deeply and completely accept myself.”

 

4. Dialogue: If the disease/pain could speak what would the message be?

“Even though this condition/pain is saying ___________________,

 I deeply and completely accept myself.”

 

5. Deeper: What is the emotional issue tied to this disease/pain?

“Even though this disease/pain comes from feeling ________________,

 I deeply and completely accept myself.”

 

6. The Pain: Tap on the details of the pain itself; the way it feels and its exact location. Do this regularly as a preventative or during an episode.

   “Even though I have this __________ pain in my ___________,

 I deeply and completely accept myself.”

 

7. Meaning: What is the downside of reaching your goal?  There are a few other ways to phrase this: What would you have to give up? What would change? What is scary about reaching your health goal?   

     “Even though giving up this disease/pain comes means ________________,

 I deeply and completely accept myself.”

 

8. I don’t know: Tap on not knowing the answers to these questions. What comes up?

“Even though I have no idea why I have this disease/pain,

 I deeply and completely accept myself anyway.”

Hi Lisabeth
Thanks for your article! I actually wrote something similar - 9 ways to deal with pain.

Wow you have 6 dogs! That's amazing. I bet they all have different personalities. And sizes. Would love to see pics. :) I have two dogs very dear to me.

Peace, love and respect!
Heather
