Question:
A friend of mine was dumped by her bf and she still fancied him but wanted to get over him. Tried EFT... 10/10, initially...
0/10 after 20 minutes! Even got her to look at a pic of him and think about him being in front of her.
Gosh must try that...i'm finding it difficult to get over someone who treated me badly.
Excellent!! Glad to hear everything is okay; it's powerful stuff!
Hugs

Not being nosy or anything Darren, but I was just wondering if you could elaborate slightly.
Is this person in a relationship with someone elsenow, and therefore that's the reason she 'shouldn't' fancy him?
I'm just thinking that maybe she was feeling that way for a reason (I don't know the circumstances under which the relationship broke up.) Iwonder whether her reasons for still liking this person were more complex.
...just my initial thoughts.
what is EFT because I've been trying to get over a guy I completely hate now for over a year (which for me is a very very long time) and it might help me get out of my bad streek of men :S
blessed be

Hey Lozzyloo,
EFT= Emotional Freedom Technique. Very basically, it involves tapping particular parts of the body to release blocked energy that may be causing difficulties. This has been pasted into the forums before, and it's by our very own memberEnerglyz:

The History Of EFT
EFT was developed by Gary Craig, a Stanford trained Engineer, in 1997 based on techniques learnt from Dr. Roger Callahan's Thought Field Therapy (TFT).
The roots of EFT and other similar techniques can be traced back to ancient Tibetan acupuncture around 4000 B.C. up throught Chinese acupuncture and Japanese accupressure, which was then Westernised and from which applied and behavioural kinesiology was developed. From these, TFT and then EFT came into being.
These ever advancing techniques, developed over the last couple of decades, are now classed as 'modern meridian therapies'.
What Are Meridian Therapies?
Our bodies rely on energy to operate throughout our everyday lives. This energy flows around us via a network of energy pathways which are known as 'meridians'.
A disruption of our meridian system can cause us to experience physical, mental and emotional upset, or in everyday terms, to feel unwell.
Meridian therapies use techniques that stimulate this energy network to effect the flow of energy and relieve us of the effects of the issues that are presenting a problem for us. Accupuncture uses fine needles inserted through the skin, Accupressure techniques use pressure applied to the body surface and EFT uses a gentle finger tapping applied at certain points of the meridian system.
So What Is EFT?
Gary Craig trained in Dr. Callahan's Thought Field Therapy, costing many thousands of dollars, but found that this technique involved a very lengthy process of determining the clients problem, then looking up the specific issues and symptoms in numerous volumes of pre-determined algorithms.
These algorithms would then determine which of the accupressure points on the meridian system were required to be tapped on to resolve the issue.
Gary, being an engineer at heart, believed that there must be a simpler way of applying the technique that could be shared and learnt by all.
He realised that across the range of algorithms there was only a certain number of meridian points that were tapped on, and that there was no negative effect if a point was tapped on that wasn't part of the algorithm. From this he created what is now known as 'The Basic Recipe' of EFT.
The Basic Recipe involves tapping on all of the identified meridian points regardless of the issue meaning that problems can be tackled quickly without the need to trawl through laborious volumes of algorithms.
Over the years, as Gary and other practitioners of his techniques have used EFT with numerous clients they have found that it is possible to treat the majority of issues using only 8 key meridian points and, although the majority of practitioners are taught using the full basic recipe, those practitioners who study EFT to a deeper level will tend to use this 8 point 'short form' or similar shortened version. As the technique is continually being developed and adapted each practitioner will have their own way of using it.
How Does It Work?
Through our many senses, we are constantly receiving many pieces of information on an unconscious as well as conscious level.
Any of these bits of information acts as a trigger by inducing a change in our energy system which in turn retrieves memories and experiences from our past, causing us to experience emotional, mental or physical feelings that we associate with those past events. Some of these feelings may be unpleasant rather than pleasant and it is these that causes us issue. Sometimes these resultant feelings can, in themselves, act as triggers, causing us further disturbance and increased upset.
What EFT does is have the client focus on the underlying issue to cause the energy system to b

He dumped her for another girl. She was angry and upset but also, deep down, still was attracted to him. We worked on the other two emotions as they are standard for EFT work, but the fancying bit was something I wasn't sure would work.
[&:]Oh Darren I thought this was going to be a bit of salacious gossip about you fancying someone you shouldn't!
Anyway, well done :D- it's amazing what you can do with this sort of stuff, and you've done a great job - you've eased a lot of pain for her.
Sharon.
thanks for telling me what EFT is I hope it has some effect on me because I've tried everything to stop my feelings for the guy
thanks to all of you

Hey Darren,
Thanks for the detail;)
