If We Knew What We Needed We Would Have Healed By Now

silly faceWhen we go for counselling we talk about our problems and the counsellor mirrors us and feeds back what we have said. The problem is we can talk all we like but unless we are work energetically we will go round in circles. And our counsellor will follow us!

The counsellor can reframe but they can only reframe from what the client has said using their logical brain. The client is not working energetically and so it is as if they are not looking up for inspiration but to their own logical brain. The counsellor has little to go on until he or she knows how to work energetically. Continue reading “If We Knew What We Needed We Would Have Healed By Now”

Is There An Alternative To Counselling?

alternative photoWhenever there’s a crisis in their lives many people in Brighton turn to counselling for help. It’s our experience that counselling certainly helps and people who have come to us from Brighton and the surrounding area have confirmed this. However, many of them have also revealed that they feel counselling hasn’t helped them long term and in fact, after a while they feel like they are just going around in circles.

It Makes Sense To Work From The Heart

Heart Energy ImageIt is a true saying that ‘the heart knows’. It makes sense to work with someone who encourages us to work from the heart. The electrical impulse of the heart is 40 – 60 times stronger than that of the brain.

Our hearts are where our real feelings lie. Continue reading “It Makes Sense To Work From The Heart”

The counselling chair can become an anchor for negative emotions imageWhen you go to see a counsellor, and let’s face it everyone does these days, you get the chance to tell someone about the problems you have in your life. Initially, counselling can be a wonderful way to relieve the burden and stress you feel, but how about the long term effects?

I’ve heard so many people who have received counselling tell me that after the initial high of feeling listened to they seemed to relive the same problem over and over again. In fact, when you talk about your problems over time they get worse. The counselling chair you sit on becomes an anchor the very sight of which may remind you of your problems.

Are you limiting your healing potential?

About EFTI’m often asked what I can heal people of, or what my success rate is. My answer to this is ‘I don’t heal anyone and the success rate is not mine. It doesn’t and never will belong to me’. What’s more, if someone tells you that they can heal your issue then they are coming from ego and your potential for healing will be limited.

As EFT therapists we don’t heal anyone. We may think we do and go around wearing our high success rate like a badge of honour. If we do this we are missing an opportunity for our own growth as a therapist and more importantly for our clients healing. Continue reading “Are you limiting your healing potential?”
