Thank you so much for the advice – that is exactly the

kind of information I wanted to hear!

Hi nne,

My mother's a therapist in Toronto who does EFT and I have seen one

of the Craig videos and have gone through EFT (I have it well

memorized by now) with two different therapists, though not for any

physical pain. I can tell you from experience that EFT works really

well for some people and not for others. For me, it works really

well for some things and not for others. EFT especially doesn't

work for me if I don't get to the heart of a problem first.

However, that's emotional and not physical.

I say-- try it! But if you don't notice anything after one or two

sessions with a professional then stop going.

Hope that helps!
