A couple of months ago my life was in the toilet. My mother was at war with my Husband. My husband was determined to convince me that I was the cause of all his problemss (still is but I refuse to believe it)and one of my best friends died.
I work, very well, in a high stress career, but I joke that its where I go to get some rest. Anyway I went to a seminar about how to deal with nasty people and not become one. They taught a technique called Emotional Freedom Technique. I was very skeptical about tapping but figured it didn't hurt anything to try. It took me about 3 hours but I eventually had a few yawns and a good cry out of the whole thing. The next day I felt great. So naturally I completely forgot about it. A week ago as I was withdrawing from Cymbalta and things were getting alittle wiggly I went off by myself and started tapping again. I'm not saying it did anything to releieve the physical effects of chemical withdrawl but I have been very impressed how positive and relatively calm I have been able to stay when none of lifes usual stressors have been removed and the room still occassionally wants to spin.
