I'm so glad you're having good results with it.
I use both tapping AND the TAT hold now. I like that TAT hold because I'm basically lazy & it's easy & you don't even need to SAY anything.
Just feel whatever you're feeling or think about whatever you want to 'heal' & it works itself!
On the weekend my husband & I were talking about some things that had happened years ago with our son. I started feeling really sad & awful & said, "You know, this is upsetting me too much - I don't think I can talk about it any more." & he said ok, then I said, "Hey - I should do TAT about it." So I did - just standing there in the kitchen. And when I started, I got a wave of sadness - not heavy-duty, but it was there. I just kept breathing deeply & in a relaxed way. A few related things came into my mind & I just breathed & let them flow by. After about 2 or 3 minutes (& that's LONG for me - usually it is over before that), I started to think about this & that & sort of almost forgot what I was doing TAT about!!!
I just realized that I think I tend to use TAT for situations or memories, etc. And I use tapping for either specific emotions or "butterflies in my stomach" feelings or tight chest, or 'feeling yukky'...etc. Although I do use TAT for 'feeling yukky' also.
Have you tried that TAT hold yet? If you, or anyone wants any feedback at all about it, I'd be more than happy to give it!

> Good for you!! Sometimes we just need a "jolt from the past" to get us started again. I was sitting on my porch Sunday morning "ruminating" over a perceived "slight" I'd received and started bringing up "old pain" along with it and thought "Why do you want to spend the day suffering over this stuff?" Then I did two quick series of taps and went on with my day, pain free. Sometimes, we just forget what works!!! So, glad to have helped and keep up the good work in the weight loss....I am also "there"....
