Q. I have this chronic physical problem that has not responded to any treatments. I feel there may be an emotional cause, but I don’t know how to figure out what it might be.

Rue Haas has written a book called This is Where I Stand: the Power and Gift of Being Sensitive ($24.95) which combines information about the Idealist-Healer / highly sensitive temperament with using EFT for healing the issues that arise. Have you ever heard (or said about someone else): “Oh, you are just too sensitive!”, “You take things so hard!”, “Just let it roll off your back.”, “Why can’t you just let it go!”, And maybe even, “What’s wrong with you? You are such a cry baby!” You have probably thought they were right – there must be something wrong! Being sensitive is an actual emotional temperament.

About two months ago, she had a breakout appear on her cheeks. She has been to several health professionals, undergone some treatments including a laser treatment, and the breakout continues. She has been eating really well, too, in an attempt to clear up the condition. Her intuition is that there is an emotional cause. She has used EFT before on this, and on several of the stressors in her life. In this session, we continue to use a bit of detective work, general tapping on the condition itself, offering that she is open to learning the root cause(s), and we end up working with stress in her stomach.
A client writes: My question is about repressed memories. After a body work session a year or so ago, I had a physical release of what was obviously a childhood rape situation. I felt safe enough thanks to increased inner guidance while my body unwound this drama. There was relatively a small amount of emotional
