Janet (name changed for privacy) attended my clinic to gain relief from an intense fear of snakes.
So intense was her phobia that Janet could not even bear to look at a picture of a snake and just the mention of the word “snake” would send her into fear mode with goose bumps.
What was interesting about Janet’s case was that she was visiting Perth from New Zealand which, to the best of my knowledge is snake free so my curiosity was aroused as to what could have caused such an intense emotional response.
It was five minutes to six and I was packing up to go home to dinner when a good client rang to say that a friend of hers was at her home and in excruciating pain and could I help. I suggested that maybe the hospital might be the best place for her friend, but she said her friend wanted to see me, not a hospital. I relented saying that my dinner could wait a while, and I would see her if she could be at the clinic in ten minutes ( I knew she lived close by) .
There are times when little or no progress is experienced when applying rounds of EFT to specific events, which begs to question why it should work so successfully in some instances and not in others. The answer can most likely be attributed to the presence of aspects.
So what are aspects? Aspects can be likened to puzzle pieces that make up an issue, different angles from which it is perceived, given shape and meaning. Now whilst you may be tapping on something specific but making little headway, it may pay to look for emerging aspects that are keeping your intensity high.

Jill (not her real name) came into the clinic, sat in a client chair and said "Can you help me?"
I noticed that her head was jerking to the right about every ten seconds. I said "Is the jerking what you want me to help you with?"
She said "Yes the doctor called it Tardive Dystonia, and the only way he could stop it was to cut through the muscles in my neck. And I don’t fancy my throat being cut, so I came to see you. "
