Welcome to the EmotionalRepair website. If you have heard about EFT (Gary Craig's Emotional Freedom Technique) and are looking or wish to know specifically about this technique, please click on the EFT button on the left side. If you are new to the field of Energy Psychology therapies then please find below a simple explanation on  what it means and how these therapies work. First may I introduce myself. My name is Mary Hunt, my base is WIlton, Wiltshire in the UK. I am an advanced EFT practitioner and trainer, but also hold certification for: BSFF (Dr Larry Nims) and recently, DEEP PEAT which is an extraordinarily powerful technique for reaching the source of any chronic long standing problem. (See button opposite). In each modality,  I trained with the founders and, with over 9 years experience in the field of Energy Psychology, together with continual research and updating in new emerging fields of mindbody interactions, I feel I  offer sound advice together with effective treatment that does not require as much time as traditional therapies.

My main field of work tends to focus on Panic attacks, Anxiety/Stress, and PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). I describe the above distressing problems as secondary symptoms, all of which will have underlying primary symptoms  such as: anger, weight issues, addictions, allergies, poor self-image low self-esteem, shyness and lack of confidence, to name a few. These in turn have Root Causes, which are often (but not always) created during childhood.

Unlike traditional therapies I do not need to spend hours on history taking, My focus is on defining the problem in the clients mind, then with that defined, describing any body sensations, emotions and thought patterns and or any images that tend to intrude in some way on the client's daily actions. These are the first clues as to what the mindbody is desperately calling out to clear. Working in this way allows us to gently clear outer layers and move in to the crux (Root Cause), without causing a potential abreaction (PTSD). The technique I use, always allows the client to feel a sense of understanding and control, vital to expediate a cessation of the presenting problem.

It is not unusual for some people to feel so overwhelmed that they do not know where to begin and despair that they will never be able to ever resolve their problems. Today, with BSFF (Be Set Free Fast), and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), we do not need to spend hours digging up past history. As we all know, for some, this can be extremely painful and can cause an abreaction.

Through recent cell biology, neuroscience and quantum physics research and findings, we now know that the human body 'dances like a puppet' to its immediate environment. By this I mean that our whole body (approx 70 trillion cells), reacts continuously to whatever is in its present field of perception. And it does this by comparing present with past.

It is important that we change our current understanding of life as new research shows that genes and DNA do not control our biology that in fact, they are simply reacting to signals from outside of the cells and this includes messages created through our negative and positive thoughts.

So whatever you are thinking, experiencing, perceiving right now, will cause your physical body to react in some way; anger, happiness, fear, sadness etc. Whatever the outcome, your cells will store that reactive combination for future reference. So, you can now see how a previously negative experience will cause your body to produce an automatic response when faced with a present day situation that, in some way, mimics that previous negative experience. Your thoughts control your body. That is why one has to start seeing the mind and body as one. The various techniques main function is to help the body to stop reacting in a negative way. And it does this by getting between the thoughts and the reacting cells.

The people who approach me for help are those who have observed that they are unhappy about certain personal beliefs or behaviours. These are affecting their lives and those people around them.  This then causes the person to feel isolated, unhappy, angry, sad etc. Not good emotions to experience.

If you hold certain beliefs about yourself and that of your world, then you unknowingly behave in a way that is congruent (aligned) with your deepest past experiences. For example: if you lack confidence in your ability to hold a conversation with people in authority you could either behave in a defensive way or in a retiring / retreating way that causes people to not notice you which in turn causes you to feel isolated or rejected. Then you dislike, (hate for some) the people for treating you that way (even though they have no idea that this is going on!) The more you experience this the more you re-enforce the belief that people will reject you. This fuels your lack of confidence. 

Pre-treatment work: In order to fully utilise the actual treatment time, some clients like to get involved with defining the problem (in more depth) that they wish to eliminate.  This can be done with a series of questions (from me) and answers (from you). It can be very beneficial as apart from freeing up ‘talk time’ at the beginning of a session, it begins to help the client to gain some insight as to how  past experiences, which do not have full and satisfactory emotional closure, can create long-term effects that manifest in many different ways.

What is Muscle-Testing. Its proper term is Kinesiology (developed by George Goodheart M.D.), but in this case, it is referred to as Behavioural Kinesiology, which was later developed by John Diamond, M.D., as an integrated system for assessing and evaluating the effects of all stimuli, internal and external, on the body. Muscle-testing leads to an easy assessment of the degree of stress under which an individual is functioning and total assessment in both their physical and psychological aspects. From investigations and kinesiological testings, stress reduction and correction of emotional attitudes and a rebalancing and enhancing of the body energy can be achieved.

How does it Work. We normally use an extended arm (client), at shoulder level. The muscles in the arm are connected through the nervous system to all other muscles in the body. When you declare a belief (about yourself or how you feel about others, a situation etc.), in the form of a factual statement, if it is true at the subconscious level, then through the nervous system the muscles stay ‘strong’ when pressed. If the statement is not congruent (aligned) with the beliefs held in the Subconscious then when the arm is pressed the muscles go weak.

It is an excellent tool for assessing and identifying which thoughts are not only creating but sustaining the problem. Once these are recognised we then proceed with clearing these out. If the problem is chronic (never-ending, persistent etc), then it may require a number of sessions to reach deeply through many layers to attain true clearance. That said BSFF achieves results that cannot be compared with traditional therapies which are known to go on for many years.

Namaste – (I greet the Light in you.)
